Chapter 3.4 – Project standards

Instructions

The specifications for the standards and guidelines to be applied in the project are set out in the rules and regulations for the BIM-related topics.
It is useful to specify not only the standards/guidelines, but also which version is used, especially if it is safe to do so.

It is recommended to include at least the following information:

  • IFC specification
  • openBIM standard
  • CAD standard
  • Data security
  • Area determination
  • Cost calculation
  • Construction tolerances
  • Building survey and documentation
  • Life cycle data

Note on the IFC specification as an elementary standard for openBIM projects: A project implementation should always be in an IFC main version 4 (as long as IFC5 has not been introduced). Whether this is done in IFC4 Add2 TC1 (ISO 16739-1:2018) or in IFC4.3 Add2 (ISO 16739-1:2024) depends on whether the software used in the project is certified for the relevant MVD or whether it is a project that relies on IfcAlignment (only available from IFC4.3 Add2). A mixture of IFC versions within a project at technical model level must be avoided at all costs.
