03 · ADVISORY BIM Advisory.

We write the BIM execution plan, choose the CDE, set the standards your team will actually follow, and train the people who have to use them — so BIM adoption survives past the first project.

Section 01 · The problem

Why a templated BEP from the internet doesn't survive contact with your team.

Most BIM execution plans are written to satisfy a tender requirement, not to be followed. They get filed after submission and the team reverts to whatever workflow it already knew — which means the standard exists on paper and nowhere else.

We write execution plans and standards that match the team's actual software, actual skill level, and actual project pipeline — then we stay through the first few projects to make sure the plan is the thing people open, not the thing people forget.

A standard nobody follows isn't a standard. It's a document.

Section 02 · Our approach

Five steps from audit to adoption.

Audit current capability

Software licenses, team skill level, existing templates, and past project pain points — assessed honestly before anything is prescribed.

Author the BEP / EIR

Execution plan and exchange information requirements written to match the team's real workflow, not a generic template.

Select the CDE and stack

Platform recommendation — BIM 360, ACC, Trimble Connect, or whatever fits the client's existing IT environment and budget.

Train the team

Role-specific training delivered against the new standard, not a generic software course.

Support the first live project

Embedded support through the first project running on the new standard, with adjustments made from what actually happens at desk level.

The engagement ends when the standard survives without us in the room — not when the document is delivered.

Section 03 · Deliverables

What you receive.

01

BIM execution plan

Written to ISO 19650, scoped to the client's actual project type and team size.

02

Exchange information requirements

EIR document defining what's delivered, when, and in what format — for tender or appointment.

03

CDE setup & governance

Platform selected, configured, and documented with a folder structure and permission model the team can maintain.

04

Standards & template library

Naming conventions, shared parameters, view templates, and title blocks — ready to load into the team's authoring tool.

05

Training curriculum

Role-specific sessions with materials the client retains for onboarding future hires.

06

Adoption review

Assessment after the first live project, with a punch list of what to adjust before the standard scales.

Section 04 · Tools & standards

What we advise on.

Platforms and processes we recommend — selected per client, not sold as a package.
