7.2 BIM strategy, BIM uses, BIM
processes

• A BIM Use can be defined as “a method of

applying Building Information Modeling during a
facility’s lifecycle to achieve one or more
specific objectives.”
• BIM Uses can be classified primarily based on
the purpose for implementing BIM throughout
the life of a facility.

7.2 BIM strategy, BIM uses, BIM
processes

Capabilities of each party for each BIM use

• a. Resources – Does the organization have the
resources necessary to implement the BIM Use
required? Some of the general resources required
include:
• b. Competency – Does the responsible party have the
know-how to successfully implement the specific BIM
use? To determine competency, the project team
should understand the details for the BIM use and how
it will be carried out on the specific project.
• c. Experience - Has the responsible party performed
the Use of BIM in the past? The team experience
associated with each BIM Use is vital to the success of
implementation.

The AIR requires the
organisation to
classify the data and

(AIM) according to an
agreed classification
system or through
structures of the data
store and or file
store.

• Level 2: Detailed BIM Use Process Maps
Detailed BIM Use Process Maps are created for each identified

• BIM Execution Plan (BEP)

• 1. Use an existing BEP template and adjust it to fit your
project’s needs.
• 2. Align your BEP with information from the EIRs and your
in-house BIM Standards.
• 3. Condense information in a way that captures
stakeholders’ interest (don’t go above 30-40 pages).
• 4. Ensure buy-in from other key stakeholders and search
for their input in generating the BEP.
• 5. Split between a Design and a Construction BIM
Execution Plan (DBEP/CBEP).
• 6. In defining collaboration, work your way backwards
from client requirements—involve the client’s Facilities
team.
• 7. Realize that a BEP is a live document that needs to be
updated as the project progresses.

• EMSD BIM-AM system is
a real time and highly
visualised tool for O&M
and asset management
that can enhance the
maintainability and
availability of E&M
facilities in buildings. By
interfacing with various
electronics systems such
as BMS, RFID, RTLS and
CCTV systems, workflow
efficiency, documents
management, safety
compliance and incident
handling capability can be
improved effectively.

1. BIM Project Execution Plan Overview

• To successfully implement BIM on a project, the

BIM Project Execution Plan (BEP) explains the
details of the BIM implementation in the project
from design stage to tender stage.
• For construction stage, the main contractor
shall update the BIM BEP to maintain the BIM
modelling and management. The part of the
BIM BEP for construction, as-built and facility
management is developed by future main
contractor.

3. BIM Objectives

• In according with the approved BIM Execution Plan

(See Table of BIM Uses), The BIM Manager shall
monitor the BIM model progress, compliance with
the BIM Standard and completeness as well as
ensuring the models being issued on time to
facilitate the coordination and detail design
refinement between various disciplines.
• After main contract awarded, BIM consultant will
hand over the BIM model and BIM Execution Plan
to main contractor for subsequent updating in the
construction stage. During the construction stage,

8.1 LOD Definitions

• BIM Object Level of

development(LOD)

• The BIM object shall be produced to a

specified LOD as a minimum requirement
for both geometrical (LOD-G) and non-
geometrical (LOD-I)components.

• The BIM object shall not be modelled

with excessive detail. It is not suitable
nor necessary to model BIM objects with
100% of reality, given the limitations of
hardware and software, and the purpose
of using BIM. Refer to the Level of
Development (LOD) to decide minimum
components of the BIM object
78
8.1 LOD Definitions

• LOD Definitions:
• LOD notations are comprised of numbers from LOD 100 to LOD 500 and are defined as follows:

• LOD 100 The Model Element may be graphically represented in the Model with a symbol or
other generic representation.

• LOD 200 The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a generic system,
object, or assembly with approximate quantities, size, shape, location, and orientation.

• LOD 300 The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a specific system,
object or assembly in terms of quantity, size, shape, location, and orientation.

• LOD 350 The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a specific system,
object, or assembly in terms of quantity, size, shape, orientation, and interfaces with
other building systems.

• LOD 400 The Model Element is graphically represented within the Model as a specific system,
object or assembly in terms of size, shape, location, quantity, and orientation with detailing,
fabrication, assembly, and installation Information.

• LOD 500 The Model Element is a field verified representation in terms of size, shape,
location, quantity, and orientation.

• The Origin and orientation of the project shall be

based o the project location and its reference to
Hong Kong 1980 Grid(HK1980 Grid) and Hong
Kong Principal Datum (HKPD)
• Establishing a coordinate system shall be taken at
the onset of project before BIM models are built for
all disciplines. There shall be a key point of control
(project Base Point) for the coordinate system and
shall be maintained throughout the project. This
step is a vital to the coordination of the project as it
will define the origin in Revit, Naviswork and
supporting platforms. The Project Base point is set
at N: 813040.000m, E: 835990.000m

• The BIM and CAD software and versions that will
be used by the design team and contractor shall
be agreed before starting the project. The
models should be created using suitable BIM
authoring software applications that allow the
assembly of data rich models and the production
and checking of co-ordinated drawings and
documentation. In order to allow for BIM
interoperability, the BIM authoring tools should
be IFC compliant.
