In this section, goals within the scope of BIM Project (Table 6) and BIM Uses are determined in line with these purposes (Table 7, and Table 8).

Major BIM Goals / Objectives:

To create an effective BIM Execution Plan, it is very important to consider the benefits that BIM can bring to the project and define the goals we aim to achieve on this basis. To effectively define goals, such goals must be relevant to the project being created, as well as measurable and achievable for the project team.

The project team should document BIM goals for each project phase in order to assist in filling the table in Section 5.4.2. Examples are provided in grey below. These should be edited/replaced with project specific information.

Table 6: Example of BIM Goals documentation.

Project Phase	PRIORITY (1-3) 1- most important	GOAL DESCRIPTION	POTENTIAL BIM USES
Schematic design		Location, solar, wind, preliminary energy analyses	Efficient design decision making
Design		Address conflicts in design	3D Design coordination
Construction		Identify concerns with construction sequences	4D modelling
Turnover		As-built model	Turnover to model

BIM Uses

Table 7 and 8 presents an example of BIM uses that could be implemented on a project by placing a mark next to the BIM Use item (Reference the BIM Goals identified previously in the Section 5.4.1). Any additional uses could be insert in the empty cells of the table below, as applicable.

Table 7: Example of BIM Uses to be implemented on a project.

Organizational Roles / Staffing

Figure 1 shows the individual disciplines. The circle in the middle shows the synthesis of multidisciplinary integration. This section presents an example of the roles and responsibilities of team members.

BIM Uses that are specific to the project should be noted in a table, including ranking values – High (Mandatory), Medium (Significant), Low (Minimal). An example is shown in Table 9.
