BIM Execution Plan (BEP)
The appointed party's plan setting out how a project's information requirements will be met.
A BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is the document in which the appointed party sets out how it will meet the information requirements of a project. If the exchange information requirements are the question, the BEP is the answer: it describes the methods, standards, software, responsibilities and schedule by which the required information will actually be produced and delivered.
Under ISO 19650 a BEP usually exists in two moments. A pre-appointment BEP is submitted with a tender, showing the prospective team's proposed approach and capability. Once appointed, it is developed into a confirmed BEP that the delivery team works to, and which carries the detailed delivery plans — the master and task information delivery plans that schedule who produces what, and when.
The BEP is where coordination, naming, the common data environment setup and the modelling responsibilities are pinned down for everyone. In Italian practice (UNI 11337) the pre- and post-appointment plans are the offerta and piano per la gestione informativa (oGI / pGI).
