Identify and quantify the risks to building information modelling projects and assign owners.
Managing Building Information Modelling Projects from Design to Handover
A senior-level treatment of building information modelling projects, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
The estimate for building information modelling projects that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Stakeholders withdraw support for modelling projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda. The programme is built to be used, and every section of building information modelling projects it covers ends in something applicable. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the project and portfolio delivery capability improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of modelling projects and prepares them for it. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting building information modelling projects and under-invest in testing it. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting modelling projects, ready to be adapted internally. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this strand of project and portfolio delivery sustainable.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Test the organisation's response to modelling projects under conditions that are less than ideal.
Assess the current state of building information modelling projects against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.
Establish quality acceptance criteria for the deliverables of modelling projects.
Define the scope of building information modelling projects precisely, including what is explicitly excluded.
Recover modelling projects when it is behind, without pretending it is not.
Draw practical lessons from failures in building information modelling projects without assigning blame that suppresses reporting.

- Check that modelling projects still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
Session 2Reviewing modelling projects when nothing has gone wrong
- Measure progress on building information modelling projects by value earned, not tasks ticked.
- Collect evidence on the present handling of modelling projects before proposing changes.
- Anticipate the objections building information modelling projects will raise and prepare the answers.
- Build the work breakdown for modelling projects to a level that can be estimated.
Modelling projects: procurement, contracts and suppliers
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1What has to be agreed before work on modelling projects starts
- Agree what will be standardised in building information modelling projects and what will not.
- Set out the decisions in modelling projects that require sign-off and by whom.
- Review at each gate whether building information modelling projects should continue at all.
- Define acceptance criteria for each deliverable of modelling projects.
Session 2Recovering modelling projects when it is behind
- Check that records of building information modelling projects answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Estimate the resource modelling projects requires to run as designed.
- Register the risks to building information modelling projects with owner, probability and impact.
- Define the decision gates for modelling projects and what evidence each requires.
Modelling projects: scope definition and exclusions
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Estimating modelling projects without anchoring on the answer wanted
- Record what was learned when building information modelling projects did not go as planned.
- Build reporting on modelling projects that surfaces problems while they are small.
- Confirm that those complying with building information modelling projects understand why it exists.
- Map stakeholders of modelling projects by influence and current level of support.
Session 2Keeping stakeholders of building information modelling projects genuinely supportive
- Prepare the recovery plan for building information modelling projects before it is needed.
- Agree the escalation threshold for modelling projects in advance.
- Archive the decision record for building information modelling projects so successors understand it.

- Define the trigger that would require modelling projects to be redesigned.
- Rehearse the briefing on building information modelling projects that would follow an incident.
- Build the competence framework that supports modelling projects.
