BIM Roles and responsibilities such as BIM Managers, project managers, drafts persons, among others should be described.
For each BIM Use noted, it is important to identify the team within the organization (or organizations) who will staff and perform that Use, and estimate the personal time required (optional). Table 5 illustrate how this could be done.
