How
The need for project protocols and processes will depend on the size and
complexity of a project and the number of organisations involved. However, even
on a small project a Project Execution Plan can be a useful document and can
be used to corral contact information, the Contractual Tree (project organogram),
communication protocols or other information that may be of use to the client and
the project team. On larger projects, the document might be referred to as the
project quality plan. Regardless of its name, the contents should be similar and
might, as a minimum, contain:
• a description of the project (a summary of the brief)
• a project directory (containing contact names and details)
• the Project Roles Table
• the Contractual Tree
• the Design Responsibility Matrix
• Information Exchanges
• the Project Programme (Design and Construction Programmes might be
included or referred to)
• the Communication Strategy
• company organisation charts (details of each party’s team on larger projects)
• the Technology Strategy (detailing the software, and hardware, that will be used)
• CAD/BIM manual (detailing drawing numbering or other CAD/BIM protocols),

Historically, practices have utilised their own internal processes; however, BIM
requires a project team to utilise Common Standards and working methods,
a process that is complicated by compatibility and interoperability issues. The
Technology Strategy, Communication Strategy, CAD/BIM manual and Change
Control Procedures are therefore crucial components of the Project Execution
Plan. These topics are considered in greater detail in Chapter 6.

• Change Control Procedures.
Depending on circumstances, the Project Execution Plan may be contractual or
non-contractual. It may also make reference to a number of British Standards and
other industry standards. These standards are considered further in Assembling a
Collaborative Project Team.
