Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process of preparing, using, and sharing 3D models through digital technology that contains various formats that can be used by every party involved to achieve multiple objectives throughout the project implementation phase. BIM is a new method in construction projects to enhance project delivery systems. Hence, BIM Execution Plan (BEP) must be developed as a planning and monitoring strategy document to ensure all project deliverables are completed according to the project goals. A proper BEP helps stakeholders understand and achieve the underlying objectives of using BIM. Several BEPs have been developed worldwide since 2010 and used in new project development. This document is tailored to suit the type of project, stakeholder requirement, and project objectives to ensure BIM implementation success. Meanwhile, Public Works Department (PWD) has produced a lot of standard drawings since the 1980s, which have been used previously in many projects such as schools and health clinics. Most of the projects have been completed and the building's design has filled client and authority requirements though some of the amendments to the plan and drawing discrepancies have been made during the construction stage. Since these drawings can be used several times, PWD has rebranded these drawings as a Pre-Approved Plan (PAP) and took the initiative to collect and preserve all these drawings for future project use. To enhance the quality of the PAP drawing and align with government digitalisation's agenda, PWD has decided to migrate these drawings to the BIM model staggered by several stages. The main objective is to produce the PAP coordinated model, which can reduce drawing mistakes and increase design and construction productivity. Hence, the PWD has decided to implement BIM in the PAP Design Modelling Project. Considering the existing BEP focuses only on new project development, and there is no standard or guide to prepare the BEP for this type of project, this research has been conducted to establish the BEP framework for PAP Design Modelling Project. Therefore, the main objectives of this study is to compare and explore the key elements of twenty (20) existing BEP samples. Second objective is to explore the key elements of the PAP Design Modelling Project's BEP, and lastly the third objective is to establish the suitable BEP framework for PAP Design Modelling Project based on twenty (20) BEP samples and PAP Design Modelling Project’s case study. The research methodology is qualitative: data collection, content analysis, sample comparison and interviews. The data collection consists of the BEP samples, which was reviewed as a fundamental comparison. The interview session involved the team members in PAP Design Modelling Projects. The research findings compare the key elements in BEP samples and BEPs provided in the case study. Hence, the BEP framework defined and validated based on comparing and analysing BEPs. The improvement recommendation has covered the enhancement of the BEP and the BEP development for other types of projects, which can help the construction industry player to expand the potential of BIM usage in various projects.
