Establish a BIM strategy - Exercise

A BIM strategy involves: 

  • Project progression 
  • BIM standards 
  • Information extraction (export and import) 
  • Quality control workflow 
  • Other aspects as may be pertinent depending on the type of project 

These components all need to be considered in order to understand the project lifecycle of an AECO project involving BIM.  

It is your turn now to interpret these components for your own fictional project that you defined in the previous module. Consider your own team and organization to determine the best methods of managing the BIM strategy.
