• 4.1          Introduction

This chapter describes the requirements on BIM GBP electronic files (BIM files) accompanying the submission of the prescribed GBP plans to the BA for the purposes of PNAP ADM-19.

4.2          Performance Requirements

• All BIM files shall meet the following requirements:

  • Relevant codes of practice, PNAPs and circular letters issued by the BA; and
  • Relevant BIM sample templates (Revit or ArchiCAD) prepared by the BA.
  • Information contained in BIM files shall be identical to the information shown on the prescribed GBP plans. Prescribed plans submitted to the BA should be directly generated from the corresponding BIM model.
  • The Colour Code System as specified in Section 5.1.4 of the Guidelines for various building components and area diagrams shall be adopted.
  • Area diagrams should be shown with the corresponding halftone under laying floor plans for ease of verification.
  • All linear dimensions and area diagrams of the BIM file should be fit for verification to the extent that the accuracy of area calculations can be checked and mathematical errors, if any, can be identified.
  • The computation of all area diagrams on prescribed plans should be verifiable with the BIM software, both by selecting a pre-set zone / area and by specifying points to define what to measure.
  • All irrelevant data for statutory submission, such as lighting, reflected ceiling plan, building services provisions and the like shall be removed from the BIM file.
