Introduction
(BIM) is a broad concept that incorporates guidelines and principles that govern the
process of modelling construction projects such as buildings, bridges, tunnels or highways
(Eastman, Teicholz, Sacks & Liston 2011). BIM can also be viewed from its generic nature as an
environment that enables architectural and engineering infrastructural projects to be virtually
designed, viewed and analyzed through 3D model based technologies. This gives engineers and
construction professionals a good insight to monitor, plan and manage infrastructures and
projects in an efficient manner (Volk, Stengel & Schultmann 2014). BIM has really improved the
decision making and general performance of building projects.

Levels of BIM Adoption
There are a number of BIM maturity levels- 0, 1, 2 and 3. They are as outlined below
(Howard & Björk 2008):
i. Level 0 – it incorporates the unattended CAD(Computer Aided Design)
1

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
ii. Level 1 - incorporates managed Computer Aided Design
iii. Level 2 – it incorporates the presenting infrastructural projects in
intelligent 3D designs using capable environments.
iv. Level 3 – has not yet been defined in details
Figure 2: Levels of BIM skills and adoption
BIM level 2 has come to be the most popular Building Information Modelling concept
and has come to be generally accepted as a criteria that complies with BIM principles. In the UK,
BIM level 2 is the required criteria for all construction projects, a requirement that is part of the
2016 government requirements (Succar 2009). Level 2 BIM is distinguished from level 1 in the
manner in which it achieves its collaboration. In level 2 BIM, collaboration is realized through
sharing the model in an appropriate format of a file that is commonly called common data
exchange (CDE) (Zhang, Teizer, Lee, Eastman & Venugopal 2013). The most popular file
format is industry foundation classification (IFC). This is what makes it possible for the
architectural professionals to integrate models with their own views so as to create federated
models. These resultant federated models can then be combed in order to comply for proficiency.
The models have to comply with the stages of predefined digital plans that have been specified
by the employer. The project module information assessment then becomes the asset information
2

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
module because of the information that it stores. In the future, asset information modules can be
used for implementing operations and maintaining preventative procedures (Su, Lee & Lin
2011). Since BIM utilization skill level is varied, contractors need to establish whether they
have the required skills in order to use a particular BIM level. The figure below shows the
various levels of BIM utilizations and the skills that would be needed in order to employ them.
Implementation of BIM Level 2 Standards and Processes
Projects that implement level 2 BIM must first come up with decisions to agree to use the
model and must have all the information that will be required at every stage of the construction
process in order to address each of the identified decisions (Smith & Tardif 2009). This requisite
planning will ensure that the relevant information concerning the particular project is properly
relayed and shared in the appropriate format so as to ensure that informed decisions are made
throughout the process of project construction (Motamedi & Hammad 2009).

Process.
PAS 1192-2 mainly focuses on the project delivery, where the majority of graphical data
command and graphical data and the documents which are normally referred to as project
information model are accumulated from design and construction activities.The intended
audience for the standard normally include; organisation and individuals who are responsible for
the procurement, design, construction, delivery, operation and maintenance of a building and
infrastructure assets where possible, generic language has been used but where necessary
specific definitions are included.

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
The level 2 Building Information Modelling Management (BIMM) criteria that is
currently on use has specifications, principles and standards that have been interconnected
(Pikas, Sacks, & Hazzan 2013). These sets include Digital Plan of Works (DPoW), government
soft landings and BIM Execution Plans (BEP). The information deliverables that would be
involved in the building process include file models, data files, documents that harbor
information about the building facilities and spaces, components and floors. These deliverables
combined together form the digital replication of the assets that are being built by modelling
their design in order to reflect how they are actually build and installed (Arayici, Onyenobi &
Egbu 2012).
Every stage of the level 2 BIM process involves the decision of the employer, whereby
the employer is in need of the particular information that is required so as to make a decision on
whether the project has been satisfactorily developed or not. It is at this stage that the employer
decides whether the project should go on or not. Let us take an example of a successful building
project of ‘CAD-BIM requirements for concrete blocks masonry design process.’ The research
that was done on this construction project indicated that the modelling capacity that was
provided by CAD, a major modelling environment, was feasible (Pärn, Edwards & Sing 2017).
There was the implementation of parametric objects, which did away with much of
programming. The success of the project was also majorly dedicated to a good demonstration of
proper inter-coordination of the various information deliverables involved in the project (Pärn,
Edwards & Sing 2017).
The current BIM level 2 document set is made up of different interconnected specifications,
standards and agreed protocols. This set includes but is not limited to the BS 1192: 2007 +A2:

Plan of Work and Public Procurement Methods
This section presents the most popular and widespread public procurement
methodologies and how each one of them might impact the make-up of the design team and the
BIMM process activities including the Plan of Work Stages.
The plan of work incorporates well-structured stages that make sure that all involved
parties deliver information consistently and as required (Melzner, Zhang, Teizer & Bargstädt,
2013). However, these stages may not be identical all through the process because various
procurement methodologies influence the plan of work stages differently. The type of
procurement method also determines the personnel that will be involved in each stage.
Knowledge of the procurement methodologies therefore is key in understanding the most
appropriate BIM level to be adopted in a building project. Procurement methods are classified
widely into ‘traditional’ and ‘innovative’ methods. The following are the most common
procurement methods (Hajian & Becerik-Gerber 2009):
i. Design bid build
ii. Design Build
5

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
iii. Construction Management
iv. Design Build Operate
v. Design Build Finance Operate
Modern approaches that are getting increasingly popular include:
i. Integrated project delivery
ii. Early Building Information Management Partnering
iii. Project Alliancing
iv. Two-stage Open Book
v. Cost-led procurement
1. Design Bid Build (DBB)
This one of the most popular delivery system in BIM. Hence, it is commonly known as a
‘traditional’ methodology. In DBB, the client directly receives the designs of the project while
the contractor only gets involved in the actual construction process (Dore & Murphy 2012).
More than one parties are therefore involved in designing and construction process. By the time
the most appropriate contractor is identified, the drawings of the infrastructure would have
progressed a good deal. After bidders have estimated the cost of the project, the bidder who
presents the lowest bid is normally taken as the contractor of the project and maintenance of the
project is normally performed by the client (Logothetis, Delinasiou, & Stylianidis 2015).
6

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
Figure 3: Design Bid Build (DBB) (Lahdenperä, 2008)
The main steps of this method are as follows (Tang, Huber, Akinci, Lipman & Lytle,
2010):
i. Establishing need for carrying out the work
ii. Definition of the requirements of the client
iii. Developing the deigns and drawings
iv. The client’s approval of the designs
v. Preparation of the tender documents
vi. Selection and invitation of tenders to the tender.
vii. Preparation of proposals by the tenders
viii. Contractor selection (Contract establishment)
ix. Actual construction
x. Building testing
Project Procurement
The employment of object oriented documentation that are data rich in promoting e-
procurement immensely impacts the BIM processes. Implementation of e-procurement, viewed
form the perspective of the designer, seems to limit the dissipation of data and thereby promotes
7

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
automation. In order to understand well the impact that procurement methodologies may have on
the design team, we need first to have a general knowledge of the current situation of the design
phases (Wang, Truijens, Hou, Wang & Zhou 2014). The design phases incorporates the planning
phase, management of the design and procurement. The planning phases involves the preparation
of the main plan and project scheduling as well as the project budget. The procurement stage
involves the proposal of various methods, in which the bidding process begins in accordance
with the project conditions. Note that these conditions are established in the pre-contact stage of
the project, preceding the establishment of the procurement type and the final conditions. Just as
the importance of the procurement process is connected with all the design factors of the project,
so does final contract.
The European Commission, 2017 establishes that for the compliance of quality, time and
budget, public procurement regulations should be established (Zhang, Teizer, Lee, Eastman &
Venugopal 2013).
Tendering Process and the Document Verification
The project information model involves the integration of graphical and non-graphical
data that forms a virtual model of the infrastructure in construction. The aftermath virtual model
of the construction is then transferred to the most competent construction supplier, after which
the supplier gives it to the employer at the end. However, the steps followed may vary depending
on the procurement methodologies that have been employed.
In the year 2013, reacting to an enacted policy that required all construction projects to
adopt the required minimum Level 2 of BIM protocol, the UK government established a BIM
protocol known as CICBP (Construction Industry Council BIM Protocol) which was tasked with
8

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
the responsibility of establishing mechanisms that would run a BIM environment (RIBA, 2013).
The CICBP provides that construction contracts and appointment files should bear the rights of
the CICBP as an addendum in order to provide the necessary obligations and rights of employers
and the party that has been contracted. The CICBP protocol can also act as a legal agreement in
contracts and in so doing is intended to be a document to seal contractual transactions. In the
tendering process, a supplier must provide a number of documents to show that they have the
required skills of working with the level 2 BIM environments.
Influences that might affect the BIMM process
1. Information Availability
In the event that the participants do not have a constant access to information, the plan of
work phases in the BIM can be greatly disrupted. Furthermore, collaboration amongst the
participating parties would be difficult.
2. Quality of Data
Effective BIM adaptation heavily relies on the quality of the available data. Format of the
information, viewed as a major contributor to data quality, is also a major determinant of how
BIM process runs. Research analysis shows that most people in the UK have their own
preference to structure of information documents (Building Information Modelling 2015).
Furthermore, different software in use have different compatibility issues due to varying formats.
These conditions would mean that some phases in the BIM process that rely heavily on data
would be immensely imprecated.
NBS Digital Plan of Work
9

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
The NBS (National Building Specification) digital plan of Works is a platform that
enhances the Building Information Modelling process in an online platform, and is attached to
the requirements of the work stage of a particular project (Building Information Modelling
2015). NBS (National Building Specification) provides that clients have the responsibility of
definition of the deliverables that would be required at every phase of the construction process.
The deliverables definition is held in a Digital Plan of Work (DPoW) platform. The digital plan
of work platform covers the whole plan of the project period, that is, from the development of a
strategy to management of the assets in construction. A digital plan of work’s major role is to
enhance that information that is produced by all the participants is timely and is produced in the
recommended way. It does this by following processes that are standardized and agreeable by all
stakeholders. Furthermore, a digital plan of work aids the team in the construction project to
understand well their duties and make sure that all the deliverables that the client should receive
are efficient and they are delivered on time. It also enhances effective decision making
throughout the period of the project (Bimdevelopment.bimregionalhubs.org 2015).
Basically, the digital plan of work delivers information to the client in milestones that are
labeled as ‘data-drops’ (Hamil 2015). The data drops would be generally aligned to the phases of
the project, and the information that is acquired would be a true reflection of the levels of
development of the project at the stage at which the project would have reached. One major
principle of the Digital Plan of Work is a provision that ensures that a phase cannot be finished
unless all the deliverables are confirmed at a common level of definition. This then means that
someone has to drive the monitoring and completion process of the DPoW, most likely a person
from the design team. However, there are some limitations on the DPoW website that would, in
some way, hamper its usage. The website provides that the digital copies or papers of the
10

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
material that has been downloaded or printed cannot be altered. This would be an impediment to
any team that would desire to customize the information for their own purposes. The DPoW
needs to be flexible to allow clients to alter the information that they provide, more especially to
allow for provision of important feedback from users that would enhance further development
(Kell &Mordue 2015).
OIR, EIR, PIM and AIM Level 2 Documents Information flow
Organizational information requirements OIR
Organizational information requirements (OIR) incorporates information that an organization
needs in order to effectively manage its assets and carry out its organizational mandates
effectively (Kell & Mordue 2015). These requirements basically are organization based as
opposed to asset based or project level based requirements. In case a contract is awarded for a
particular asset management of activities, asset Informational Requirements (AIR) must be
formulated according to the Organizational Information Requirements.
Employer's information requirements EIR
This model defines the information that the client (employer) will require from both internal
teams and external suppliers for the entire process of the construction of the infrastructural assets
(Sinclai 2015). The Employer's information requirements (EIR) usually carries the specification
of the information that is required by suppliers. It also describes the required deliverables in
terms of documents and defines information exchange in the lifecycle of the project.
Project Information Model (PIM)
11

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
This is the information model that is formulated during the project design and construction phase
(Toolkit.thenbs.com 2015). The specifications of the project information model are set out in the
Employers Informational Requirements. At level 2 of the BIMM, PIM consists of data that is
non-graphical and that is associated with the documentation. The project informational model is
progressively developed with the initial development called design intent model.
Asset Informational Model (AIM)
AIM is a model that contains all information that would be relevant to support asset management
(Arayici, Onyenobi & Egbu 2012). It provides data that would be required for asset operation to
be possible. From non-graphical to graphical data, AIM can provide documents and or metadata
that is attached to one asset or to a portfolio of assets. The figure below summarizes shows the
flow of information between OIR, EIR, PI and AIM models.

Figure 4: Information flow on various models
The project information model is created during the design and construction stage of a project.
Commencing of as a design intent model comma level of details we automatically increase and
eventually become a virtual construction model which contains all the elements that are required
to be manufactured installed or constructed. At project completion the information from the
project information model is transferred to the AIM which can be then used within a facility
management CAFM system.
Implications of BIM in a legal context
13

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
The key benefit of construction contracts is to ensure that design and construction
responsibilities are properly distributed amongst all the contract-participating parties. If these
contract definitions not be clear, conflicts are likely to arise. The priority of accessing and using
the design documents, the meaning of any activity defined in the design or construction phases
are some of the issues that are likely to come up if the responsibilities of each participating
contractor are not clearly defined (Hajian & Becerik-Gerber 2009).
Generally, the use of BIM in project delivery generally produces risks that are associated
with the design and construction procedures. Perhaps, the major legal issue is how BIM
collaborates with the project participants and stakeholders. The greatest fear would be the risk of
BIM blurring the primary roles and responsibilities that have been assigned to each and every
participating party. A look at the Spearin Doctrine would be helpful here.
Spearin Doctrine
This doctrine was formulated majorly to protect contractors against a client’s
inappropriate claimants of defective or below standard work (Dore & Murphy 2012). The
doctrine provides that should a structure be built according to the client’s specifications and yet
fail to function as it was intended to, then the contractor cannot be held responsible for the
resultant failure. Should defects be identified in the planning and specifications of the structure
in construction, the blame is shifted to the client’s architect.
Integrated project delivery refers to a system of collaborative working between all the parties
who are involved in the delivery of a project. This is made up of the client, project team and
separate team of consultant specialists and contractors. This usually brings together the design
14

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
under construction activities with maintenance considered as well, whether or not the integrated
project team will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the facility these usually involve
valued input from all the parties in the supply chain. Integrated project delivery as an innovative
contractual structure which always aligns the interests of the client and all contractors.
There are in addition a lot of variants, compound versions or and hybrids regarding all the above
four mentioned methods of procurement. Which procurement method is likely to prove the most
appropriate in a given situation will depend upon this scope and the nature of the work proposed.
How the risks are to be apportioned, and on what price basis the contract is to be awarded the
depending on the following;
Design responsibility
Coordination responsibilities
Price basis
Plan of work
Common Data Environments
A common data environment is important for delivery of quality renovations,
maintenance, repair and construction of new outcomes in relation to budget and timeline of a
project. Research has shown that less than 2% of projects are normally delivered on time and on-
budget (Yalcinkaya & Singh 2015).
15

RUNNING HEAD: APPLIED BUILDING INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
The common data environment part is a very important part in the BIM process. The common
data environment is the sole source of all data used to correct, manage and the referred
documentation to the whole project team. This means that all the project information whatever
printed in the BIM environment or another alternative data format is carefully stored within the
common data environment. Using this sole source of information facilitates cooperation between
project team members and helps in avoiding multiple mistakes within the projects.
Information transfer within a common data environment can be described within the information
delivery cycle in accordance with the RIBA plan of work stages. Adopting a common data
environment such as one specified in PAS 1192-2 (2013) by means ownership of information to
remain within its originator within the MDT. Procedures of a project should be agreed upon by
all members of a MDT at the preproduction stage of a project, this is to include a correct
information hierarchy that supports the concept of a common data environment. While most of
the project information documents within the building information modelling level 2 processes
as contained in the common data environment. These documents are usually known as living
documents which are usually required to be updated as required along with information growth
recorded within the common data environment.
The requirements of the clients are also scarcely met. Common data environments come in
handy to help change this traditional expectation upside down and innovatively change how
information is shared. Common data environments ensure that accurate and timely information is
shared amongst all parties in a transparent manner and without interruption.

Design Responsibility Matrix (DRM)
The Design Responsibility Matrix (DRM) is one of the areas of development that is
connected with the Plan of Work 2013 of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)
(Ribaplanofwork.com 2013). The DRM provides that all team members of a particular project
need to have a clear outline of their responsibilities. This has been traditionally been always
carried out from within the project, even up to date. The burden of the DRM is to make sure that
all involved parties in a particular construction project are well versed with information on what
they are supposed to deliver and what the information would be used for. Since there are no
specific definite standards that are followed By DRM, it uses the development specifications that
have been developed by the US BIM Forum.

Conclusion
BIM enhances innovative presentation of structural designs in a manner as to increase
effective construction of building projects. Furthermore, BIM promotes value sharing and
contributes much to presentation of information to a project model and hence enhances
multidisciplinary collaboration. However, for BIM to achieve its goals in presentation of its
deliverables, the current legal frameworks need to be sufficiently redesigned so as to support fair
practice of all the philosophies and principles underlying the platform.
