Guide to Using the RIBA Plan of Work 2013• use of the Handover Strategy to assist in the consideration of how BIM willbe used during Stages 6 and 7, allowing the designers to include the relevantinformation within their BIM models as the design progresses• harnessing the Design Responsibility Matrix and the Information Exchanges sothat it is clear who is responsible for each aspect of the design and the level ofdetail required at each stage (see further below).Properly assembling the project team is only one aspect of creating a collaborativeproject team. Effective communication skills are essential for a project team tobe truly collaborative and, while the communication skills of individuals will beinvaluable, these skills can only come into their own if the team has been properlyassembled at an early stage and their processes and protocols agreed in advanceof design work progressing.How do the task bars and defined tasks in theRIBA Plan of Work 2013 benefit BIM projects?Chapter 2 sets out the reasoning behind the eight stages and eight task bars. Fiveof the task bars have been conceived specifically to facilitate BIM, as detailed below.Procurement task barThe Procurement task bar looks at procurement holistically and considers theprocurement of the project team, which includes the design team and the contractor.Programme task barCollaborative contracts, such as PPC2000 (a multi-party contract published bythe Association of Consultant Architects), stress the importance of having anagreed Project Programme. Generating the programme collaboratively ensuresthat each party in the project team is aware of the reasoning for each period.The programme is particularly important on BIM projects because greater effortis required during the early design stages. Compressed design programmesreduce crucial set-up periods or the time required to successfully iterate thedesign. Overlapping activities or stages with other activities, such as Stage 4 andthe period during which the planning application is being considered, generatesubstantial risk. Generating the Project Programme ensures that it is clear who istaking such risks.www.ribaplanofwork.com73
