BIM Execution Planning Discussion

BIM Execution Planning can be the backbone of any successful project in the AEC industry; however, it does not come without some challenges.

Proper implementation requires multiple teams who can have their own approach and BIM goals for how the Building Information Modeling should be executed.

In this interview, we hear how BIM teams can align expectations while cutting the administration nightmares that many BIM Managers experience.

Teams can then focus on the essential coordination processes and management of digital information and assets for the project.

Chetna shares that Plannerly is a platform that can not just replace your traditional BIM Execution Plan (BEP) but also offers much more to help BIM Managers focus on creating value through the essential coordination and management of digital assets and information on projects!

Interview Key Takeaways

Chetna emphasizes that every process requires a management system, but traditionally, BIM Execution Plans (BEPs) have been challenging to manage with separate documents and excel sheets.

These processes and documents are vital for defining the methods, scope, responsibilities, modeling schedules, and other project requirements.

There is also an additional layer of Standards, National Annexes, LOD/Responsibility Matrix, appendices, and addendums required.

With so much information to manage and many moving pieces, collaboration can be a challenge.

This is why teams gravitate towards a structured workflow to help them manage information between projects consistently and effectively.

With the right tools, BEP templates and processes, teams can precisely understand what BIM scope and procedures are being agreed to and why.

So, instead of using static PDF documents and excel files for BIM Execution Planning, we recommend using a dedicated BIM management platform like Plannerly!
