The role of project supervisor within the BIM execution plan

Abstract

In the AECO sector, the BIM approach is used to manage and exchange information between the different stakeholders involved in the development of a project. Central models, available on CDE, store the information that could be retrieved according to the role and to the specialism involved. Drawing the right set of properties is crucial for successful workflows, hence cross-information is fundamental to achieve information exchange between disciplines, managed by each BIM coordinator. According to ISO 19650 series the client specifies those requirements in the EIR, nevertheless, few cases show the implementation of Health and Safety measures in it. European Directive 89/391/EEC on health and safety (H&S) on workplaces and more specifically the directive 92/57/EEC addressing Project Supervisors can be both seen as a beacon in this field for their clear and neat list of compulsory and optional requirements. This work aims to create an integrated standard example to be used from the clients at the tender stage (pre-BEP) to verify and validate the completeness of H&S design outcome. Such integrations aim to facilitate the information flow among the different specialists reducing the occurrence of onsite accidents.
