Use case - Company standards
Make your company standard the start of every project
A company BIM standard is your best BEP, information requirements and scope, kept as templates. In Plannerly you keep them in one template project and start every new project from it, with the project's details filled in. When you improve the standard, projects that used it are offered the update.
Write your requirements once. Keep your OIR, AIR and EIR as templates, start every new project from them, and give every appointed party the same standard to answer, with each project's details filled in.
Stop starting each bid from last job's Word file with the old client's name still in it. Keep your best pre- and post-appointment BEP and scope as templates, and start every tender and project from them.
Stop rebuilding the BEP for every job. Keep your best BEP, responsibility matrix and scope as templates, and start each project from them: your wording, your structure, the project's own details filled in.
Turn your method into templates. Start every client project from them, and when you improve one, offer the update to every project that used it - instead of editing twenty copies by hand.
Teach students to work from a standard, not a blank page: one template project for the class, every group's project started from it, with the same structure and their own project details.
Free plan, no card. Start from Plannerly's ISO 19650 templates, in your language.
The problem
Every project starts from a copy of the last one
How it works
How to turn your best project into the start of every project
-
Put your best version in one place
Start a template project and bring in your best BEP, EIR and requirements: from Plannerly's ISO 19650 templates, in your language, or pasted from your Word documents. Then make the wording yours.
One template project that is your standard -
Let project details fill themselves
Put SmartFields where each project's details go - project name, client, version, discipline - and add your scope structure with its classifications, information requirements and responsibilities.
No find-and-replace on a new job -
Start each new project from it
In a new project, open the Library, pick your template project and add whole documents, or drag in only the sections and scope folders you need, with their teams, milestones and requirements.
Every project starts from your best version -
Keep every project up to date
When you improve the template, each section that came from it shows the update. Whoever runs the project compares the two versions, then takes it, merges it by hand or ignores it.

Case studies
How three firms stopped starting every project from scratch
An architecture practice that cut BIM administration by over 70% with reusable templates, an airport delivery team whose setup time dropped from 90 days to 20, and a consultancy that took BEP planning from 100+ hours to under 30.
For owners a standard means every appointed party answers the same requirements: MTECH delivered 16+ major projects at Hong Kong International Airport, with setup cut from 90 days to 20.
Contractors win back the start of every job: LIMSEN coordinated 50 companies on one development and cut BEP planning from 100+ hours to under 30.
Design firms stop rewriting the same BEP: SODArchitects cut over 70% of BIM administration time with reusable templates.
Consultants sell their method, not their hours: LIMSEN cut BEP planning from 100+ hours to under 30, and SODArchitects cut BIM administration by over 70% with reusable templates.
These firms all work from standards. Students who learn to start from a template, not a blank page, arrive ready for how real practices work.
