The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) champions the development and transformation of the built environment sector, in order to improve SingaporeÂ’s living environment. BCA oversees areas such as safety, quality, inclusiveness, sustainability and productivity, all of which, together with their stakeholders and partners help enables them to meet their mission to transform the Built Environment sector and shape a liveable and smart built environment for Singapore. BCA leads the transformation of the built environment sector through developing a highly competent professional workforce, adopting productive and game-changing technologies, and promoting the sectorÂ’s niche expertise overseas.
The BIM Essential Guide for BIM Execution Plan (BEP) serves to jump start the development of a BEP for a project. The BEP provides a baseline document, approved by the Employer, to guide the project team in achieving goals set with regards to BIM deliverables throughout the project. This BEP guidance document walks users through the content they need to include and consider in their first BEP. The contents explained in this guide include:
– Project information;
– Project members;
– Project goals;
– BIM use cases for each stages of a project;
– BIM deliverables for each BIM use case,
– Model author and users for each BIM deliverables;
– Model elements, level of details and attributes for each BIM deliverable;
– Process for BIM creation, maintenance, release and collaboration;
– Technical Environment

This legal guidance document produced by the BCA committee aims to address some of the legal challenges around BIM and itÂ’s procurement on projects. The guide runs through the main challenges providing advice and clarity which can be adopted onto live projects. This document is for use in construction projects where BIM is used and shall be called the BIM Particular Conditions. All parties in such projects may incorporate the BIM Particular Conditions into their respective agreements or contracts for services, supply and/or construction for the project. The BIM Particular Conditions can be used for all methods of procurement. However, this document does not cover all issues in the use of BIM; especially those that may be specific to any particular user. The BIM steering committee therefore encourages users to review and adapt the BIM Particular Conditions for specific use. Users should obtain appropriate professional/legal advice before making any changes to the BIM Particular Conditions.

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) is Singapore’s public housing authority. They plan and develop Singapore’s housing estates; building homes and transforming towns to create a quality living environment for all. They provide various commercial, recreational, and social amenities in the towns for their residentsÂ’ convenience. Established in the 1960Â’s during the nationÂ’s housing crisis, they were tasked with providing sanitary living conditions to replace the prevalent unhygienic slums and crowded squatter settlements. Singapore’s public housing has housed an entire nation, today, more than 1 million flats have been completed in 23 towns and 3 estates across the island. HDB flats are now home for 80% of Singapore’s resident population, of which about 90% own their home.
This Guide is prepared by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) and the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) to help consultants and contractors use BIM in the design and construction of new public housing developments. The objective of this Guide is to assist Consultants and Contractors to develop BIM model(s) collaboratively for new public housing developments. It sets out the general requirements for the preparation of a BIM Execution Plan and the guidelines in developing the BIM models for sharing and collaboration amongst the different team members of a HDB project throughout the project life cycle. This Guide serves as a general reference guide for typical new public housing developments and hence, may not cover all scenarios that may arise. Users are encouraged to adapt the guidelines and steps accordingly to suit their needs.
