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 intent of the BIM execution plan is to provide an outline that will ensure all parties involved are clearly aware of the opportunities and responsibilities associated with projects that implement BIM. The plan defines why you are using BIM on the project. It sets goals, objectives, and responsibilities, and outlines how the process will be executed through the project life cycle. The BIM execution plan is a living document and should be developed and refined throughout the project life cycle to ensure the project remains on schedule and meets the briefed requirements. This BEP template can be used as a framework for the development of a BEP for specific construction project/s. The BIM execution plan should be 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.

The Building Information Council (Bouw Informatie Raad, or BIR) promotes widespread application of BIM in the Dutch construction and infrastructure industry. BIR is a unique partnership between various stakeholders in the construction industry, where the members represent both their construction industry segment and their own company. They make practical agreements that are in the interests of the entire industry and ensure these are implemented within their own segment. The partnership focuses on implementing BIM to strengthen the quality, continuity and competitive position of the Dutch construction and infrastructure industry. The resources cotained on the website help to accelerate the development and adoption of BIM within the Netherlands.
This second part leaflet looking at the legal aspect of BIM forms a checklist for projects. This checklist (how to work together with/in a BIM) shows topics about which agreements can be made in the context of BIM. The topics in this checklist are derived from BIM protocols used in the market, combined with topics that have emerged from practice (in particular Pioneering’s BIM protocol 2.0). For a project where BIM (at least from BIM level 2) will be used – in whatever project phase – it is advisable to go through the checklist below in a start-up meeting about the BIM deliverables to be made to date.

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 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 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 template which is available in Word format, the example file is also available on the Information collection.

The Construction Industry Transformation Programme (CITP) was developed to address the issues in the industry and also to enact a transformation of the industry into one which is modern and updated. Central to this the CITPÂ’s aim to become the catalyst for generating a succession of interlinked multiplier effects on a host of sectors, to help transform Malaysia to be a developed nation with a sustainable high-income economy. The CITP is only the first step in transforming the construction industry; the successful interdependence among the various ministries and agencies is paramount for the sustainability of MalaysiaÂ’s long-term goals. The CITB collaborates with myBIM to provide BIM Training. This program is mainly targeting the industry player such as Contractors, Architect, Engineer , Surveyor etc. to learn the process of implementing the BIM process including the usage of tools and managing the construction site by using BIM. Adapting to the advantages BIM offers requires investment in staff, processes, and technology. Approaching these changes with a positive attitude will speed the transition and allow firms to quickly realise the productivity and quality gains possible with BIM.
The myBIM website contains details of the physical myBIM centre as well as detail around their programme and approach to providing upskilling related to BIM in Malaysia. The website also contains sections on BIM resources, current training courses and the facilities available at myBIM. The website also contains other knowledge resources and media links.
The Construction Industry Council (CIC) of Hong Kong was set up with the main function of forging consensus on long-term strategic issues, conveying the industryÂ’s needs and aspirations to Government, as well as providing a communication channel for Government to solicit advice on all construction-related matters. The CIC developed itself as a Centre of Excellence for BIM, formulating strategies for market transformation and promoting cross-discipline collaboration and wider adoption of BIM. The CIC provides support to the industry in five aspects, promotion on BIM adoption, training, standards, guidelines and specifications, BIM personnel certification and BIM courses accreditation, and BIM-related researches using the CIC Research Fund.
The objective of this CIC BIM EIR Template is to provide BIM requirements for contractual deliverables to facilitate prompt adoption of BIM by the construction industry in Hong Kong. The target users are primarily small and medium enterprises (SME) Appointing Parties / Employers / Clients / Owners (hereafter referred to as ‘Appointing Parties’) or their agents in the private sector who plan to use BIM for their projects. The document will help them to prepare the project specific EIR.
The purpose of this document is to provide users with a standard Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) Template based on ISO 19650-1, which is required for service agreements or contracts following CIC BIM Standards and methodology depending on the type, scope and other Appointing Parties’ requirements for those projects. Users are advised to go through the Exchange Information Requirements Template and customise them for their specific project application. This Exchange Information Requirements Template should be used in conjunction with the CIC ‘BIM Standards – General’ which is available on CIC BIM portal website and also contained separately in this information collection.
This freely accessible document was published under the ‘Building Trust in Digital’ workstream of the Digital Building Transition Plan (PTNB). It was developed by digital construction specialists and uses an automated form to support the preparation of BIM agreements.
Published in Word or Excel, it covers all the sections to be developed in a BIM agreement and offers a questionnaire to help draft the sections, so they are appropriate to the project. Processes common to all BIM projects are also included. To create a bespoke agreement, the BIM management team only has to complete the fields indicated with the characteristics of their project.
This free platform is aimed at all project owners, regardless of their structure, their level of BIM maturity or the type of their operations. It was produced by industry partners on behalf of the BIM Plan 2022 and the Housing, Urban Planning and Landscape Department (DHUP).
Through the support offered on ORELIE, project owners can integrate all of the theoretical notions related to BIM specifications. Support is structured on the basis of the framework of a standard BIM Specification, which has previously been defined as part of action 1 of the BIM Plan 2022: Making the BIM order reliable.
Thanks to videos, documents and interactive presentations, each user can therefore complete their BIM specifications, part by part, writing and updating their document in complete autonomy.
The platform aims to complete BIM repositories and pre-existing guides by offering an interactive tool, promoting user engagement and offering a space for reflection.
