Assignment #5 (40 points) Due 3/1/2020 11:59pm Central Time

Part 1 (10 points): List the topics that need to be covered in a BIM Execution Plan (BEP) that is
developed at the start of a project (100 words or more).

Part 2 (30 points): While there are many issues to consider and potential barriers to overcome, the
development of a Company BIM Assessment is an excellent way to get Building Information Modeling
started within an organization – and that’s what you will do now! (in-class)
Copies of the company BIM Assessment are in the Reference Section. To begin developing your
assessment:
1. Brainstorm a list of three goals. (e.g., BIM knowledge, determining what training is required,
identify a project, identify potential internal future BIM leaders, getting the entire company BIM-
savvy. etc.)
2. On the template:
a. Describe one goal at the top of the page.
b. In Column 1 of the chart, list the current status and what is needed to accomplish the goal.
c. For each step:
i. Identify and list resources (available and needed);
ii. Describe a communications plan;
iii. List any potential barriers;
iv. Assign responsible parties; and
v. Establish a timeline with milestone dates.
3. Explain your Company BIM Assessment. Brainstorm ideas and revise plans as needed.

(More instructions were provided in the class – ‘Lecture 2/20/2020’)

Company Background Information: Size, company type (consulting/ GC/ Owner-Builder/, etc.), Does
your company use BIM? you use BIM now? If so, what is the BIM LOD of your most recent project, etc.
