Guidelines for Using Building Information Modelling – Details

  • Details

Details should contain the following information, if applicable, but not limited

to: 
(a)Sufficient labelling to identify the location of details,
(b)Sufficient labelling to identify typical and non-typical details, and
(c)Sufficient critical dimensions, levels and design of building components
 in compliance with the BO and its regulations, relevant PNAPs and
 circular letters.

Typical examples for details required under various PNAPs include gas aperture, utility platform, balcony, A/C platform, curtain wall, non-structural prefabricated external wall, sunken slab, protective barrier, accessible toilet, tactile warning strips for escalators, projecting windows, acoustic windows, acoustic fins, vertical greening, cladding, vertical barrier at atrium, details of modular integrated construction, etc.

It is the common practice to use 2D details created by CAD, to complement the BIM model. CAD is also one of the acceptable computer softwares under Appendix F of PNAP ADM-19. BD is ready to accept the details produced by CAD or BIM provided that APs have clearly indicated the software in their  GBP electronic files.
