Steps to leveraging the structured information in a BIM

1. evaluate the organization's core competencies and business objectives 2. static deployment of appropriate technology to eliminate guesswork about business decisions and shit the organization's output to high-value-added tasks and services.

Step 3 - Develop Information Exchanges

1. identify each potential information exchange from eh the Level 1 process map 2. choose a model element breakdown structure for the project 3 Identify the information requirements for each exchange and document the following: Model Receiver, Model file type, information, and notes 4. assign responsible parties to author the information required 5. compare input versus output content

Primary Objectives of the Specifications

1. to help project team specify BIM deliverables and get a clear picture of what will be included in a BIM deliverable 2. to help design managers explain to their teams the information and detail that needs to be provided at various points 3. to allow downstream users to rely on specification information in models they receive from others 4. to provide a standard that can be referenced by contracts and BIM execution plans
