National BIM Guide for Owners |
A building information modeling (BIM) guide for building owners has been developed under the auspices of the National Institute of Building Sciences. The National BIM Guide for Owners is a new guide that building owners can adopt to provide a documented process and procedure for their design team to follow in order to produce a standard set of BIM documents during the design and construction of the facility, and for maintenance and operations of the facility upon handoff. The National BIM Guide for Owners is based on the foreign, federal, state and local BIM guides that currently exist, but geared to a generic facility with uniform requirements for use by a variety of government, institutional and commercial building owners. It references a range of documents and practices, including those contained within the National BIM Standard-United States® developed by one of the National Institute of Building Sciences' own councils, the buildingSMART alliance®. The Committee membership represents major sectors of the building industry, including owners, architecture, engineering, construction, facility management and academia. Among the members are representatives from the organizations supporting the development of the guide, including the National Institute of Building Sciences, Building Owners and Managers Association, American Institute of Architects, ASHRAE and International Facility Management Association. Committee Members
Purpose and GoalsThe primary purpose of the National BIM Guide for Owners is to provide building and facility owners with a consistent reference for including BIM in contractual documents with their building project team.
Scope
