Review Considerations

A BIM Execution Plan, or COBie Execution Plan, should designate who will review content in each COBie deliverable. For example, the facility manager could review fields related to equipment and ensure that they have sufficient data for operations and maintenance. The space manager could review space data and ensure it has the correct names, categories, zoning, etc. It is recommended to place more emphasis on reviewing the initial deliverables to clarify and express your expectations for the next deliverables.

Consider using tools to automate submittal reviews. These tools can be very useful in validating the proper formatting in a COBie deliverable and provide feedback to the authors. Several tools are freely available to check the structure of the COBie file or even to validate COBie data in BIM models before generating a COBie deliverable (either for structure or against project requirements).
