BIM & Digital Delivery: BIM Execution Plan Outline Guidance
1. Overview
1.1. Statement of Purpose
The intent of this document is to provide an outline guidance for the development of the Project BIM Execution
Plan to meet DGCL expectations and respond to the Requirements set out in the DGCL – Employer Information
Requirements. This Document is not intended to provide the exhaustive content of the document but rather
the minimum content that is expected in a BIM Execution Plan. The project team shall provide additional
content as it seems necessary to define the project team processes and procedures for a successful delivery of
the project specific requirements.
This document shall be always read in conjunction with DGCL Employer Information Requirements and all its
appendices.
Lead Appointed Party (typically the Lead Design Consultant or General Contractor) contractually engaged by
DGCL shall develop in line with this document and in response to DGCL EIR a contractually binding BIM Execution
Plan.
Amendments to the EIR shall be reflected in the Deviation from Standards and EIRs section of the BIM Execution
Plan, after being reviewed and approved by DGCL.
1.2. Document Authority
This document shall serve as guidance for the Project Team to develop the Project BIM Execution Plan in
response to DGCL – Employer Information Requirements. The acceptance of this document by the Lead
Appointed Party (Lead Design Consultant or General Contractor), also confirms that the relevant sub-
consultant’s personnel have read and understood its requirements.
The EIR and all its appendices are applicable to the entire project team and all project-related data. Project data
should be stored in a secure manner and managed in a consistent and structured framework in accordance with
DGCL protocols. Data must be protected against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure and modification
and managed with relevant procedures.
1.3. Ownership and use of project information
The BIM Model is an instrument of service and is considered to be a component of Design and Construction
Documents and Deliverables. DGCL has ownership of and to all CAD files, BIM Models, and Facility Data
developed for the project, the data contained within it and all copyrights. DGCL may make use of this data at
any time during the project. The Lead Appointed Party must arrange by contract to have the ownership and
copyright to those portions of the information created by the Lead Design Consultant(s) and its sub-consultants

property provided by each MEA contained within this BIM for the sole purpose of completing the design,
construction and other uses as stipulated and/or implied by the executed Owner/Design Consultant Agreement
and Owner/Contractor Agreement.
1.4. Deviations from Standards and EIRs
Any deviations from the Standards, Classifications, Specifications and EIRs must be clearly highlighted in the
BIM Execution Plan and agreed on by all project stakeholders, PMC BIM Manager and DGCL digital team.
