BIM Execution Planning (BEP) Fundamentals
A BIM Execution Plan defines how BIM is delivered on a project. It sets the rules for model structure, LOD requirements, team responsibilities, information exchange, and quality control — before a single element is modelled. Without a complete BEP, BIM delivery fails: coordination breaks down, data becomes inconsistent, and costly rework follows. This course gives you the practical tools to read, write, and apply a professional-grade BEP from initiation through to technical appendices. You work through a real case study aligned with standards used on live construction projects in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and across the GCC.

Description
BIM Execution Planning (BEP) Fundamentals
Write, read, and implement a complete BEP — the foundational governance document required on every BIM project across the Middle East construction sector.
Project Initiation
Defining the BIM Framework
Define the BIM mandate, client requirements, and contractual obligations. Establish the full scope of BIM deliverables and set the governance foundation before modelling begins.
BIM Planning
Building the BIM Execution Strategy
Develop the project-level BIM implementation strategy. Set LOD milestones per phase and align the BEP with the overall project programme and delivery methodology.
BIM Model Criteria and Guidelines
Technical Standards for Model Delivery
Establish model structure, coordinate systems, file naming, and LOD standards across all AEC disciplines for both design and construction model delivery.
BIM Team Structure
Roles, Responsibilities, and Authority
Map the full BIM team hierarchy. Define BIM Manager, Coordinator, and discipline lead responsibilities integrated within the broader project organisation chart.
Communication and Information Exchange
Governing Data Flow Across the Project
Define CDE protocols, file exchange formats, revision control workflows, and the processes that keep federated models current and coordinated throughout the project.
Appendices
Technical Reference Documents of the BEP
Complete eight technical appendices — Definitions, BIM Coding, Model Elements, Modelling Methodology, QC Methodology, BOQ Development, 4D/5D Methodology, and Naming Convention — delivering a fully structured BEP.
On completing this course, you will be able to read, write, and implement a complete BIM Execution Plan aligned with GCC project requirements and international BIM standards. You will master every BEP component — from scope definition and LOD planning through to quality control methodology and information exchange protocols — and apply this directly to BIM Coordinator, BIM Manager, and Project Manager roles in architecture, engineering, and construction across the Middle East.
