What to Expect from a BIM Consulting Company

In BIM consulting, several essential workflow documents play a pivotal role in project management. These documents allow project stakeholders to track and manage the BIM model development throughout the construction process.

The BIM documents not only provide project based information but also promote better collaboration between project participants and the employer. 

Lets discuss the use of each documents below:

1. BIM Execution Plan (BEP)

A BIM execution plan (BEP) outlines the process and guidelines for effectively implementing BIM on a construction project. It defines roles, responsibilities, and workflows to ensure efficient collaboration, data management, and communication among project stakeholders.

2. Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP)

The Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) is a crucial document in construction projects utilizing BIM. It outlines the delivery of information and data exchanges during various project stages, specifying what information is required, when, and by whom. 

The MIDP specifies the information required for each project stage, ensuring accurate and timely data exchange among team members.

It acts as a roadmap for the project team to follow, streamlining the BIM process and facilitating a successful and well-coordinated construction project.

3. Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP)

The TIDP details the information needed for specific tasks, ensuring efficient collaboration between different disciplines. It outlines the data formats, responsibility assignments, and timelines for delivering necessary information during each task’s execution. 

The TIDP ensures efficient data exchange, coordination, and communication among stakeholders, streamlining the BIM workflow. By providing clear guidelines for information delivery at task levels, the TIDP facilitates seamless collaboration and enhances the overall efficiency and success of the construction project.

4. Employers Information Requirements (EIR)

The Employer’s Information Requirements (EIR) is a crucial document in construction projects utilizing BIM (Building Information Modeling). It outlines the specific information and data that the employer or client requires from the project team. 

The EIR sets clear expectations for the level of detail, format, and delivery timeframes of information throughout the project lifecycle. 

By defining these requirements, the EIR ensures that the BIM process aligns with the employer’s needs, improving communication, decision-making, and overall project delivery, ultimately leading to a successful and satisfying construction outcome.
