Let's take the example that the
investor, although this is usually
not the case, foresaw the same
designers of disciplines during all
phases of the project, from the
concept phase, all the way to the
construction stage project.
Furthermore, it usually happens
that, after the tender phase of
the project, BIM discipline models
are handed over to the
contractor, who extracts from
these BIM models the necessary
data related to construction
dynamics, bill of quantities,
quantities of materials needed
for construction, materials and
equipment that are going to be
installed in a building, etc.
If the investor, with the help of
his BIM Manager or BIM
Consultant engaged in the
project, did not monitor the
consistency of the BIM discipline
models during the previous
project phases and if it turns out
that BIM discipline models are
not usable for the contractor for
various reasons, justified or
unjustified, the investor can easily
face the problem that the
contractor requires him to
develop completely new BIM
discipline models for the
construction phase of the project,
which exposes the investor to
additional and unplanned costs.
An additional absurdity of this
situation is that the investor has
already paid the designers of the
disciplines designing and making
BIM models of disciplines, so the
investor, in case the BIM models
of disciplines generated by the
designer are not consistent with
the contractor's requirements,
would practically pay the same
thing twice.
So, in this very simple example,
you can see how important it is to
have consistency and continuity
of BIM disciplines models during
all phases of BIM project process,
regardless of whether BIM model
is in the hands of designer,
contractor, investor, company
engaged in facility maintenance
as a facility manager or the user
of the building.
In answer to the question - how
an investor can achieve
significant savings during all
phases of the BIM project
process, we can say - by
monitoring the consistency of the
BIM disciplines models from
conceptual BIM model to digital
twin model of the building and
equipment built into it with the
help of BIM Manager or BIM
Consultant on the project.
And how can BEP help us in the
consistency of the BIM modelling
process? You are going to get the
answer to this question in the
next few sentences…

Convention Brings
The Investor Big
Savings
It is this part of BEP - the BIM
modeling convention - that
ensures the consistency of the
BIM modeling process during all
phases of the BIM project
process. You can find much
more information about the
BIM modeling convention if you
read the article "BIM modelling
convention" where I covered
this topic in detail.
In this article, it is not my
intention to go into too much
detail on that topic. However, I
think it is important to note that
this part of the BEP largely
regulates the manner and
consistency of data and
