1. Introduction 1.1. Purpose of Document

The objective of this Document is to assist qualified persons (QPs) in developing

BIM models to meet new requirements of Building Information Model (BIM)

submission. It describes the requirements and guidance for creating BIM with

specific object types, associated properties and presentation format to the following

regulatory agencies for visual processing:

a. Building and Construction Authority (BCA)

b. Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA)

c. National Environment Agency (NEA)

d. Public Utility Board (PUB)

e. Fire Safety and Shelter Department (FSSD)

f. National Parks Board (NParks)

g. Land Transport Authority (LTA)

h. Housing and Development Board (HDB)

i. JTC Corporation

1.2. Scope This submission guideline contains a list of requirements written in a concise form to

guide QPs in preparing BIM submission to the above mentioned regulatory

agencies. It is by no means an exhaustive list of requirements of the building works

which must be complied with when making a building plan or planning submission.

The items in this Standard Guideline may also be amended or revoked when new

written laws come into force. For more information or enquiries on the specific

submission requirements, please consult the appropriate regulatory agency above.

CAD vendors and retailers have developed their own application dependent user

manuals. These user manuals should be read carefully as this Document cannot

take into account all the special features of individual BIM application. For any

submission requirements mentioned in the Appendices that require customisations

to a certain extent, QPs are also advised to make reference to the training materials

distributed or to consult the respective software vendor for any enquiries on the

application. If there are contradictions between this submission guideline and

vendor’s instructions, BCA BIM team shall be contacted for clarification.

Note: The respective regulatory agency reserves the right to reject and request for necessary correction of any required deliverables or formats that do not meet the requirements.

2. General Requirements

2.1. Deliverable Format QPs are required to submit BIM saved in the file format, as summarised in Table 1,

upon submission to each of the above mentioned regulatory agencies.

Table 1 Accepted file format in BIM submission for regulatory approval

Regulatory Agencies Accepted File Format for BIM Submission Remarks 1) All BIM submissions to URA a. A single BIM in the native format 1

i. Autodesk Revit (.rvt); or :

ii. Graphisoft ArchiCAD (.pla) b. A single light-weighted file format, as

published from the similar BIM native file: i. DWF (.dwf); or ii. PDF (.pdf)

For Major project (e.g. phase condominium development), separate BIM native files can be submitted for each building block. However, a SITE BIM file linking all the buildings should be submitted.

2) BIM submissions to other regulatory agencies:

a. BCA; b. CBPU; c. PUB; d. FSSD; e. NParks; f. LTA; g. HDB (if any); and h. JTC

a. A single light-weighted file format, as published from the similar BIM native file:

i. DWF (.dwf); or ii. PDF (.pdf)

The respective regulatory agency reserves the right to request BIM native file for verification, ONLY if necessary.

All drawing views below should be compiled in a single DWF/PDF file. Refer to

Appendix C for detailed steps in publishing to DWF/PDF.

a. Plans, elevations, sections, layout views or sheets (refer to Appendix A

for specific requirements from each regulatory agency); and

b. A 3D model.

1 These are based on the IFC certified BIM applications that are commonly used by the local industry and are prepared for BIM submission to-date by going through a series of pilot runs with the authority. The accepted file format may be expanded when new BIM vendor(s) has met the requirements and ready for local BIM submission.

Note: All BIM e-submission through CORENET e-Submission System is limited to not more than 100MB per file per submission. If the file size is larger than 100MB, QPs are requested to deliver in CD-ROM to the respective agency.

2.5. Annotations and Dimensions

Except for 3D model view, all other submitted views such as plans, elevations and

sections should be indicated clearly with the necessary annotations, dimensions,

scalebar and north point, as specified by the respective regulatory agency in

Appendix A. Within each of the model view, QPs are also required to include the

related name of view, as shown in Figure 2.

2.6. Last Saved Model or Last Saved View

Page 11: BIM Submission Guideline(v3-5) Jan10(Official Release)

BIM Submission Guideline for Architectural Discipline

Copyright © 2010 Building and Construction Authority. All Rights Reserved. 6

Checking and approval from the regulatory agencies is based on the “Last Saved

Model”, together with the “Last Saved View” of site plans, floor plans, elevations and

sections submitted. Therefore, QPs are to ensure that the following items are

checked upon submission:

a. Maximum extent is saved for each drawing view;

b. No hidden objects or annotations;

c. Any link (3D model or BIM saved in other file) that is considered part of

the submission is bind as a single integrated BIM;

d. All other external references, irrelevant drawing layers, objects,

annotations, draft work and construction lines, which are not part of the

constructed building elements, are to be removed or purged upon

submission; and

e. No propriety fonts are used for annotations and all the fonts should be

legible; and

f. All objects and annotation in each phase were displayed in the last saved

view.

2.7. Model for Addition and Alteration Works/ Re-submission

(URA)/ Amendments The same BIM model (with changes incorporated to comply with the requirements)

should be used in resubmission (i.e. no shifting of spatial coordinate system in the

re-submitted model). The revised submission should be indicated clearly in the

name of BIM file submitted, following the format at Section 2.4.

For any plan of alteration or addition to an existing building, or, re-submission for

regulatory approval, all the building objects or elements should be demarcated

clearly by colours in Table 4 (in accordance with SS CP83 Part 5):

Table 4 Colours used for A&A project

Colour Usage Magenta Proposed elements Cyan Existing elements Yellow Deleted elements

Any building works which are to be deleted, removed or demolished must be shown

in dotted lines on the plans and presented in a manner that can be easily identified

or distinguished, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Sample of A&A project / project for re-submission (plan and 3D views)

QPs should include a complete set of all related model views (plans, elevations,

sections and 3D views) in every submission, including the re-submission of

amendments. For any model view which contains NO amendments, a box indicating

that this is “For Reference ONLY” shall be placed on the top right corner of the

model view, and all its building objects or elements shall be demarcated with CYAN

colour, as shown in Figure 4.

3. High-Level Modelling Requirements (Optional) BIM is typically defined by a hierarchy of objects that contain the most intelligence to

catalog the physical and characteristics of design and construction. The 3D modelling as

practiced in the industry today normally contains only the 3D geometric objects, which

comprises the foundation of BIM, but lacking in a wide array of information associated

with each of these building elements and systems. For instance, walls are created using

the application’s Wall Tool, slabs using the Slab tool, and so on.

This section is not intended to prescribe a step-by-step method to create 3D BIM, but to

highlight best practices in creating 3D BIM enriched with information of objects or building

elements.

3.1. BIM Objects and Properties

In BIM environment, there are a few items that QPs should understand and are

advised to follow:

a. Objects and elements should be created using the designated toolset in

BIM application. For example, Slab tool should be used to draw floor

slabs only, but not the walls and columns. In cases where such tools are

not available, or they are limited in some way (e.g. some applications

cannot create sloped beam), the QPs should create a generic object that

can be assigned the correct Building Element type. The ability of BIM

applications to manage components and spaces with complex geometric

shapes varies, thus QPs are advised to work with their vendors to

understand the limitation and workaround, if any;

b. For a multi-storey building, the objects and building elements, such as

wall and column, should be split into level and drawn on floor-by-floor

basis. These elements should not span more than one storey and should

be trimmed to the bottom surface of the elements above (e.g. beam,

ceiling, floor slab, etc);

c. Objects are defined by their own properties or attributes. For example,

wall objects must include the “interior and exterior” property. Most BIM

applications will incorporate this, either as shared parameters or add-on

module, which may require the QPs to “set” the property value in some

cases. Please refer to respective vendor’s documentation for instructions

on how this property is set; and

d. In some BIM applications, certain properties of objects and building

elements are set using layers. For instance, separation between exterior

Page 14: BIM Submission Guideline(v3-5) Jan10(Official Release)

BIM Submission Guideline for Architectural Discipline

Copyright © 2010 Building and Construction Authority. All Rights Reserved. 9

and interior walls is done using layers. QPs are encouraged to consult

their respective BIM vendor about drawing layer strategies that will

support drawing production and the BIM requirements outlined in this

submission guideline, and if or how these can impact the object

properties.

3.2. Spaces and Zones

Space is also a 3D object in BIM and normally represented in plan drawing view

with a room tag (Figure 5), while several spaces of similar function can be grouped

to form a zone. QPs are advised to follow the best practice recommended below:

a. The space is typically defined by the inside faces of its bound building

elements (e.g. walls, floors and ceilings). To align with the outer face of

the exterior walls (in accordance with URA requirements for GFA

calculation), QPs have to define the external boundary lines of either the

rooms or unenclosed spaces (e.g. balconies and terraces), using the

special tools provided by the BIM applications. QPs should consult the

vendors to learn the recommended method for creating space objects;

and

b. Spaces should be defined and modelled with a vertical extent from the

finished floor to the finished ceiling. If the spaces (e.g. balcony and

terrace) are unbounded by physical elements, the height should be set

equal to the height of adjacent spaces at the same building floor.

Note: A typical modelling error is to model the spaces with zero height.

Note: QPs must ensure that space object geometry is updated to maintain its alignment with the surrounding walls, floors or ceilings, if these space-bounding elements are moved.

Note: This section only applies to any BIM applications that use layers as the primary mechanism for filtering and structuring content.
