Rijkswaterstaat is part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management and responsible for the design, construction, management and maintenance of the main infrastructure facilities in the Netherlands. Rijkswaterstaat manage and develop the main road network and waterway network plus the main water systems. They endeavour to create a sustainable living environment for the country. Rijkswaterstaat work with others to ensure that the country is protected against flooding, that there is sufficient green space and an adequate supply of clean water, and that the citizens of the Netherlands are able to travel quickly and safely from A to B. Jointly promoting safety, mobility and the quality of life in the Netherlands is what Rijkswaterstaat stands for.
The information processes of construction projects must go well. Bringing and keeping the object to be built in the right place has more to do with measurements than with information processes. Nevertheless, requirements are also required for this in the contracts. It is also important to collect the right data for management. These are necessary for the execution of the management, but also to create multi-year maintenance plans and budgets. On the one hand, the maintenance contracts are about which area data Rijkswaterstaat provides during the tender to make good tenders possible. On the other hand, Rijkswaterstaat itself needs data from and information about the acreage for its own asset management tasks and legal responsibilities. Rijkswaterstaat have begun to require the use of BIM in the contracts for its projects. This website contains many resources relating to the organisations current developments.
BIM Loket is working towards a sector in which working with BIM and open standards is the norm. As part of this they need to develop information and training related to BIM to upskill the industry and increase the capability to deliver these requirements. The BIM Loket website contains lots of information and support documentation like this foundation to information delivery. Collaboration is better if the information we build on is interchangeable, structured, unambiguous, correct, complete and reusable. The BIM basic information delivery specification (BIM basis ILS) is a good first step for making this ambition a reality.
The ILS Design & Engineering was created to communicate the information needs for the design and engineering phase unambiguously and recognizably. This specifies what information must be present in the process, where, and when. Not knowing when and where to provide or expect information causes frustrations, errors and an inefficient process. This problem seems to be becoming increasingly acute due to the increasing computerization and digitization. In our fragmented sector, an organization alone will not be able to break this ban and we must collectively implement structural improvements. The ILS O&E symbolizes the activation of the collective and the integral approach.
The solution offered is to make sure that we understand each other, for this, there must be an understanding of the content on the one hand and recognition of the way of communicating on the other. With the launch of ILS O&E, the sector has a tool with which organizations within projects can create a project-specific ILS. Alignment has been found on content and the way of communicating. By standardizing the demand side (communicating the information needs), the supply side can organize itself more efficiently and effectively. This will contribute in its entirety to the integrality of the design process and the transfer of information to production.
BIM Loket is working towards a sector in which working with BIM and open standards is the norm. As part of this they need to develop information and training related to BIM to upskill the industry and increase the capability to deliver these requirements. The BIM Loket website contains lots of information and support documentation like this template for the BIM Protocol and BIM Implementation Plan. For the application of BIM in a construction project, good contract and work agreements are indispensable. Such agreements are usually recorded in BIM Protocols or BIM Implementation Plans. Practice shows a wide variety of protocols and implementation plans. These terms are used interchangeably and in different meanings. A few years ago, the former BIR Building Information Council already noted a growing need for clarity. To give substance to this, the BIR Working Group BIM Protocol launched two models at the time: the “National Model BIM Protocol” and the “National Model BIM Implementation Plan”. The Model BIM Protocol is intended as a basis for recording project-specific contract provisions around BIM. The Model BIM Execution Plan is a template that project teams can use to record their mutual BIM work agreements. The Models also offer a clear conceptual framework, which is in line with developments in countries around us and is prepared for future European BIM standards.
The National Models should provide more clarity in the terminology used. In practice, for example, different organizations appear to use the term ‘BIM Protocol’ in different meanings. The growing practice is that in most cases a ‘BIM Protocol’ is drawn up after the contracts between client and contractor(s) have already been signed. The parties involved may then discover that a number of agreements that they record should have already been contractually arranged. It is also possible that agreements in a BIM Protocol conflict with contract provisions. This situation can be brought to an end by separating the contractual provisions and the cooperation agreements on the application of BIM. Following the British example, the contractual BIM provisions are included in a ‘BIM Protocol’ (a contract document) and the BIM collaboration agreements that construction partners make among themselves in a ‘BIM Implementation Plan’.
The National Model BIM Protocol has two versions:
An editable version in Word that you can use as a template for your contractual BIM provisions;
An extensive PDF version with – in addition to the template itself – further explanations and instructions; you can use this version as a manual when filling in the template.
There are also two versions of the National Model BIM Implementation Plan:
An editable version in Word that you can use as a template for your BIM appointments;
An extensive PDF version with – in addition to the template itself – further explanations and instructions; you can use this version as a manual when filling in the template.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is the GovernmentÂ’s lead business-facing agency. MBIE plays a central role in shaping and delivering a strong New Zealand economy. These guidelines are produced by the MBIE. Their purpose is to provide government agencies with guidance on the governmentÂ’s standards of good practice for the development of their construction procurement practices, and to support those agencies to improve the quality and consistency of their construction procurement practices.
The Guidelines consist of a suite of sections, each covering a subject matter area. They are considered to be live documents which be updated and added to ensure they remain current and relevant. The latest version of each section along with accompanying tools and templates are available to download from www.procurement.govt.nz

The appendicies to the New Zealand BIM Handbook have been published by the BIM acceleration committee (BAC) and were created to promote the use of BIM and it’s benefits to create, maintain and operate quality built assest in New Zealand. These appendices explain and give examples of some of the different BIM elements which can be applied to projects. These appendices contain guidance as well as templates which can be used as a resource on projects, to facilitate early BIM adoption.
The BIM evaluation response is prepared by supplier(s) to demonstrate their proposed approach, along with their capability, capacity, and competence to meet the clientÂ’s goals in the project BIM brief. The intent of the BIM evaluation and response document is to provide a consistent framework for the BIM component in an RFP. Following the engagement of the supplier(s) the project BIM brief and BIM evaluation and response document form the basis of the project BIM execution plan. This BIM evaluation and response document has been developed with reference to the New Zealand BIM handbook. This resource is the example, the Word format template file is also available on the Information collection.

This handbooked has identified a number of processes or tasks such as design authoring and coordination. This hand booked lists these tasks as used. Twenty-one separate uses have been identified. Some uses are commonly used on projects; others are an indication of where BIM may be applied in the future. Over the past five years the BIM Acceleration Committee, in conjunction with EBOSS, has collected data on the levels of usage for each BIM. The report includes data that was drawn from an industry control group of small-to-large parties, covering all the cycle stages.
