2 Information required by the EIR
The Employer’s Information Requirements (EIR) explains the information
which is needed by employers for their own internal team as well as from the
suppliers. This will be required for the establishment of the project and for the
operation of the built asset. The procurement documents include the relevant
extracts from the EIR that helps in appointing the suppliers. The suppliers will
comprise of the consultants, contractors, and also the advisors. The
Employer’s Information Requirements will include standard procedures and
methods that will define the way it is created, named and exchanged1. The
Information Delivery Plan will identify the information deliverables and ensure
the delivery of what and by whom. The information related responsibilities will
provide a clarity in the roles related to information and their expected
activities. A COBie demand matrix will help to identify the data structured
about the spaces, floors, and the entire facility or the building components that
should be delivered and the time has to be fixed2.
2.1 Planning of work and data segregation
The processes described in Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) 1192-2
and BS1192:2007 can provide a base for managing the Information
Manager data3. PAS are standards, specifications or guidelines framed by
British Standard Institution (BSI). PAS is required for any urgent
requirement as it requires less consultation and generate better results than
the British Standards. The Service provides needs to submit a sample file
named Strategy which complies with the procedures mentioned in
BS1192:2007. This should be a single file which is required to be approved
by the Authority before implementing the plan. In order to manage the

ENVIRONMENT, 57.

models, it is important for Service Provider to come out with a methodology
and get it approved. The Information Manager must coordinate the
methodology to manage the models. The methodology is required for
dividing the building into smaller divisions or manageable volumes. The
model contributors shall manage these volumes. These volumes shall also
be defined for the model contributors to coordinate them accordingly by
following the required compliances. The Pre-contract BIM Execution Plan
compiled with the Service Provider shall determine the entire management
of the project which aligns with the prescribed standards. The plan shall
also provide proposals for specifications required to undertake the work
management.
2.2 Co-ordination and clash detection
The employer’s objective and requirement should be to maintain quality of the
project and de-risking through model and coordination of the data. A clash
generally occurs when built asset components are not spatially coordinated and
they conflict. During the design phase of the project itself, the clashes are
spotted. These clashes can be either hard clash, soft clash or Workflow or 4D
clashes. Software tools are likely to become more improved and sophisticated.
This section serves the purpose of defining the process of project coordination
which also includes the quality control requirements. The details for the project
management process shall be provided by the Service Provider which includes
the software to be used, a process overview detail has to be provided, the
responsibilities and output details are also required, the clash resolution process
and finally the reports. The details of the Technical query workflow are to be
included along with the tolerance strategy.
2.3 Collaboration process
The Collaboration process shall be conducted in alignment with the
BS1192:2007. All the processes usually follow BS1192:2007+A2:2016 & PAS
1192-2:2013+A1 which utilizes the phases of Common Data Environment. The
Service Provider Information would be exchanged on a Common Data
Environment that allows the information exchange according to BS1192:2007.

The Service Provider would appoint the Information Manager responsible for the
CDE management. The CDE will include the licenses for accessing the CDE for
all individuals exchanging the information. It will also a secured login system.
The CDE will comply with the security requirements. The metadata for files will
be recorded. For each file exchanged, the CDE shall record the revision and
suitability code. It is important for the Authority to provide guidance for the
purpose of co-ordination of classifying and metadata. The Service Provider shall
also comply with the ISO 27001. The system should help to view and download
the current as well as the previous revisions too. The CDE shall include a viewer
that can be accessed by the registered and authorized users to access the
federated model. An audit trial shall be provided for the insufficient files. The
Service Provider shall provide a schedule that identifies the information
exchange and frequency of collaboration and that too on a regular basis. There
will be appointees such as the Designers, suppliers or the Contractors
appointed by the Service Provider who will be responsible for the preparing the
structure of the BIM collaborative working environment. The Service Provider
will also ensure that the Designers and Contractors are aware of their roles and
responsibilities and should be mentioned in the Procurement document. The
appointees are expected to be competent and accept their roles in the
production of documentation within a shared platform. Meetings with regards to
project collaboration shall be scheduled by the Service Provider that will be
coordinated with the identified services. The initial BIM implementation
meeting/workshop shall be conducted and headed by the Information Manager
who is appointed by the Service Provider.
2.4 Health and safety/CDM management
The Pre-contract BIM Execution Plan of the Service Provider shall include the
integration and contribution of the people involved in the entire process4. The
people shall be undertaking the role of safety and health integration into the BIM
Collaboration process. It should also include the important meetings that are to
be conducted on health and safety. The meetings should review the health and
safety matters as a part of the collaboration process. It shall include the process

Sons, 2014).

that records and incorporates the decisions arising from meetings focusing on
the health and safety matters. The Employer will expect the BIM process for
supporting the Health and Safety and CDM controlling which is relevant and
aligned with the project work stages. The BIM should identify and help in
reducing the Health and safety hazards in the design process, at construction
and also in the operational phases. This can be identified in all these phases,
especially in the earlier stages and mitigate the risk as early as possible. The
Authority shall ensure that the data management systems are securely
encrypted and follows the required standards.
2.5 Compliance plan
The primary purpose of the Compliance Plan is to ensure the maintenance of
the data sources and the quality of the model by allowing the supplier to
communicate the same. The Asset Information Model and Project Information
Model shall be established complying the standards recognized in the Guidance
documents. The Visual checks will be ensured by the Lead Designer to ensure
there are no unnecessary components involved in the design model. The BIM
Authorising Software will be used to ensure the visual checks and will be
assessed at each stage of the Compliance Plan. The Clash Detection will also
be conducted by the Lead Designer or the Task Interface manager with the
Clash Detection Software which will detect the issues in the model and provide
coordination reviews5. The File and Model integrity will be ensure by the Task
Information manager to identify the file naming and coordination of the model.
This has to be assessed at each stage and cross verified with the Service
Provider Data Deliverables Table. The Model Validation will validate the BIM
server and ensured by the Project Information Manager. The Project Program
will be verified by the Project Delivery Manager who will ensure that the
programming tools are working in accordance with the Agreement made
between the Authority and the Service Provider.
