Publication date:   Aug 16, 2021

Scope

This document deals with the processes involved in the procurement and delivery of information to planning and construction projects, specifically with exchange information requirement (EIR) and BIM execution plan (BEP), considering the administrative processes. This document takes into account international standards and specifications as well as recommended practice.
This document is relevant for all parties involved in the tendering of information deliverables. Including both those that require and those that deliver the information. The required information can be relevant for all processes in the life cycle such as design, construction, operation and maintenance and end-of-life processes. It applies above all to e.g. client, asset owners/operators, architects, engineer, contractors, subcontractors etc.
This document provides methodology to appointing parties on how to require and agree the right amount, quality and level of information needs.
It is also important for appointed parties to be able to assess the quality of existing EIRs and identify possible over-specification or gaps. Based on this, it is possible to estimate and calculate the necessary effort for data creation.
This document operationalizes the tendering and appointment process of information deliverables as specified in EN ISO 19650-2:2018. This document does not cover all clauses of EN ISO 19650-2:2018. Its main goal is to provide template examples and guidance for all activities conditioning specification of requirements and deliverables in the production of exchange information requirements and BIM execution plan. Specifically, it covers the “shall” and “shall consider” requirements in EN ISO 19650-2:2018, 5.2.1 (EIR), 5.3.2 (pre-appointment BEP) and 5.4.1 (confirmed BEP). For specification of Scope and out of scope see Table 1 (see Annex A for which part of EN ISO 19650-2:2018 is supported by templates).
