In this first step, let's take a look at Check Standards Compliance on Building Projects using Revit.
00:15
In this section, we're going to look at what BEP is. BEP means BIM Execution Plan?
00:20
We're gonna talk about reviewing the model against that BEP and then some helpful tools in Revit that will help you.
00:29
The intent of the BIM Execution Plan is to define a foundational framework to ensure successful deployment
00:36
of advanced design techniques on your BIM enabled projects.
00:40
The BEP is about optimizing work and model flow across the project
00:45
as contrasted with optimizing siloed interest,
00:49
we'll talk a little bit more about that.
00:51
Many of our BIM Execution Plans, the BEPs are full of software requirements,
00:55
file type requirements and upload requirements.
00:58
We'll talk a little bit more about that coming up soon.
01:03
A few things to keep in mind when reviewing your model against the BEP.
01:07
This is not something that you do want at the beginning, maybe a second time at the end.
01:10
This is something that you should do often.
01:13
So some of our suggestions here would be to do daily meetings.
01:16
Those can be short meetings, keep them under 15 minutes, maybe 30 minutes max,
01:20
do a weekly coordination meeting and then a sign-off meeting
01:25
During the daily meeting.
01:26
Again, maybe a 10-15 minute phone call can be done via web share.
01:30
At minimum, try to get all the modelers on that call.
01:34
During this meeting,
01:35
All of those modelers would be a good idea for them to have at least one priority that they have for that day.
01:41
This also gives them the opportunity to hear other's priorities
01:44
and if two or more people need to have a more in-depth discussion,
01:47
they can continue that meeting elsewhere.
01:52
Weekly coordination meetings should have everyone in attendance. Meeting prep is good.
01:56
You don't want to go in there and then start the agenda or not have an agenda.
02:00
And that agenda should be based on priorities from our daily meetings or previous weekly meetings.
02:05
So we can go over that.
02:07
For instance, running a clash batch like, you know, "Duct Vs. All other MEP"
02:11
is a good way to find out if there are areas that everyone is struggling getting around duct.
02:16
Also if you see the entire corridors struggling,
02:18
this means that you need to have a discussion about re-sizing duct or something.
02:23
Your weekly coordination meeting needs to have some structure,
02:25
but don't let that agenda dictate the entire meeting.
02:29
A few things that I keep in mind for every meeting:
02:32
Attendance- since you're making those important decisions during this meeting,
02:35
you'll want to know who was part of that conversation when those decisions were discussed.
02:40
Review the schedule and then Review any open items.
02:44
Pretty straightforward meeting.
02:46
Now, the sign-off meeting.
02:48
At some point, you're gonna reach a point that each level or area will need to be signed off on.
02:54
Sign-off can be driven by either clash results (meaning all of those clashes are resolved) or by construction schedule.
03:01
This meeting is really just your time to make sure everyone is aware that you're moving to a new area of the building or the site
03:07
and do a quick review of any open items that are still remaining,
03:11
which should really just be unresolved clashes but could also be other items as well.
03:16
So let's talk a little bit more about what's in that BIM Execution Plan things to make note of
03:20
when you're starting a project that's going to be enabled and being able to follow this plan.
03:26
Typically Languages are set,
03:29
you have things like Units & Coordinate Systems, depending on the software or the products.
03:35
You may have different units, you may have different coordinate systems,
03:38
those all need to be noted and they typically are in that BIM Execution Plan.
03:44
Origins, Orientations, where's your model gonna be?
03:47
Is oriented due north, True North, how are you setting that up?
03:51
Naming Conventions are key.
03:53
You want to make sure that's covered in your BEP and everyone's aware of that. Codifications.
03:60
Things such as Text Styles, very simple thing, but something that needs to be identified with in that BEP,
04:05
that way everybody follows it throughout the project. Dimension Styles as well.
04:12
And Line Styles as well.
04:14
There's a lot more that goes into a well executed BIM Execution Plan
04:18
and that's something that you want to go over with the team early on in the project and maybe even periodically,
04:24
quarterly, however long that project is be a good idea to kind of refer back to that BEP pretty often.
04:32
And then some of those helpful tools within the Revit models,
04:35
we're gonna take a look at coming up some of these BIM Interoperability Tools
04:40
in the form of the Model Checker and the Configurator.
04:43
So those are just a couple of the tools are going to help you make sure that you're complying with the BEP.
04:48
And those are things that can be set up directly in your Revit model.
