Design Development Phase – Volume 1

This toolkit focuses on the use of BIM for the detailed design and the generating construction documentation phases.


Construction Phase – Volume 2

This toolkit focuses on the use of BIM for management and coordination of construction activities and planning on the worksite and risk mitigation during the construction phase, and is based around real world examples that have been compiled to create a composite illustrative project.

Complete Guide - Volume 1, 2, and 3

The BIM PxP Complete Guide contains toolkits for the Design Development Phase,

  • An example PxP (BIM Project eXecution Plan) illustrating what a completed PxP would look like for this illustrative composite project
  • An Executive Summary that provides a high level explanation of the Illustrative PxP Guide
  • An illustrative PxP Guide document, broken into eleven sections, explaining how the PxP was created and containing key decisions and anecdotes
  • A PxP Template for similar PxPs that contain nominal or default parameters for similar cases
