Reference Item Description Response1.1.4 Level of Detail The purpose of thissection is to definerequirements forinformationsubmissions/datadrops at projectstages.This information isused to populate theModel Productionand Delivery Tableincluded in the CICBIM Protocol(MPDT).The MPDT definesthe scope of themodels for thepurposes of thecontract. It isimportant that theMPDT iscomprehensive andis regularly updated.The MPDT alsodefines for thepurposes of thecontract the levels ofdetail used for thevarious phases of theproject.EIR provided to define the Level of Detail should include the following detailDetails of information requirementsA schedule of work stages (APM is the preferred option but RIBA/ICE/bespoke can be used)Expected Level of Detail for models at each work stage Alignment of data drops to the work stages Definitions of the levels of detail. E.g. Definitions published in PAS 1192-2Extract from Appendix 1, CIC BIM Protocol – Definition of Level of Detail and Project StagesDetails of individual models and other deliverables aligned to work stages and data drops arecaptured at section 1.3.1.Guidance: A worked example of a simple MPDT is set out overleaf. This has been taken fromAppendix 1 of the CIC BIM Protocol. All models that are expected to be used to produce ProjectOutputs should be detailed in this table. If a model is not described in the table, it will not becovered by the provisions of the BIM Protocol. Details of the models themselves should berecorded at section 1.3.1 of the EIR.Under the BIM Protocol, the responsibility for the maintenance of the MPDT sits with the employer.It is envisaged that the table will be managed by a party appointed by the employer.Accurate recording of the Level of Detail is important. Originators will typically be required tocomplete models strictly to the level of detail required at a particular stage. Similarly informationusers will typically be required to only rely on information completed to the contractually definedlevel of detail.In advance of the publication of definitive UK definitions of Levels of Detail for models, assembliesand components, employers can use existing generic definitions such as that included within PAS1192-2 as a reference point.Employer’s Information Requirements - Guidance notes version 6_05.10.12 UNCLASSIFIED 5
