BIM execution plan and roles
How will our team deliver the information the client asked for?
The BEP is the delivery team’s rulebook: roles, standards, software, coordination and checking — written once, kept current, and actually used.

- Lesson · 3 min · quizCapability and capacityBefore you promise a delivery plan, check that your team knows how to deliver it, has the hours to do it, and has the IT to do it with.
- Lesson · 3 min · quizThe pre-appointment BEP and the tender responseA tender response proves the team understood the requirements and can deliver them. The BEP is one of four parts, and the one most often written from a template.
- Lesson · 3 min · quizThe detailed responsibility matrixTwo kinds of matrix, two levels of detail. At appointment, “the architect does architecture” becomes “who produces which information, by which milestone, for which requirement”.

Common mistakes
What goes wrong most often on real projects.
- Copying a generic BEP from another project without adapting it.
- Writing the BEP once at tender and never updating it after appointment.
- Leaving out the practical rules coordinators need: tolerances, meeting rhythm, model checks.
