Question 1

What are common BIM deliverables?

Accepted Answer

Common BIM deliverables may include Revit models, Revit families, IFC models, coordinated BIM models, clash reports, shop drawings, quantity schedules, COBie data, model audits and as-built models.
The required deliverables depend on the project stage, client requirements and BIM Execution Plan.
For B4C projects, deliverables are usually practical and scope-specific. This may include contractor coordination models, manufacturer product families, CAD-to-BIM models, façade models, MEP equipment models or custom for your project BIM content.

Question 2

What information is needed before starting a BIM project?

Accepted Answer

The required information depends on the BIM service, but typical inputs include CAD drawings, PDFs, sketches, product data sheets, 3D CAD files, Revit models, point clouds, project BIM standards, naming rules, LOD requirements, classification requirements and required output formats.
For manufacturer BIM content, product dimensions, technical data, material options and product variations are important.
For contractor BIM support, project models, shop drawings, coordination requirements and BIM Execution Plan documents are usually needed.
Clear input information helps create a more accurate and useful BIM deliverable.
