If not, how are files shared?And in what format?In conclusion, the Technology Strategy for the project team needs to be carefullyconsidered to ensure that each member of the team is capable of workingsuccessfully with other members and that the implications of hardware andsoftware are considered and agreed prior to appointments being made anddesign work commencing.IFC he Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data model is an open and freely availableT(i.e. not owned or managed by a single software vendor) object-based file format.It was developed by buildingSMART (formerly the International Alliance forInteroperability) to facilitate interoperability in the architecture, engineering andconstruction industries and is a commonly used format for BIM.Communication StrategyThe Communication Strategy is closely related to the Technology Strategy. Forexample, on an international project, video conferencing (part of the TechnologyStrategy) may be a core communication tool.The purpose of the Communication Strategy is to consider the interface betweenmeetings, workshops, email, file-sharing portals, procedures for commenting ondrawings and other methods used in the iterative design process. The strategy mustbe flexible and ad hoc meetings, calls or other methods of exchanging informationwill also need to be adopted.BIM manualThe BIM manual sets out file- and drawing-naming conventions and other processesin relation to BIM.
