  • Providing Building Information Modelling (BIM) authoring support to the project, using the appropriate technology as prescribes in the Delivery Team BEP.
  • Linking BIM models from other task teams and accessing the latest models from the Common Data Environment (CDE). Supporting the Information Exchanges within the CDE solution.
  • Producing high quality – families, objects that are parametric based and suitable for the native authoring platforms.
  • Following the workset / layering structure defined in the MIP Project Information Standards (PIS).
