What is the BEP?
The BEP (BIM Execution Plan) — the German "BAP" — is the delivery team's answer to the client's EIR. Where the EIR states what is ordered, the BEP describes the how: with which roles, methods, tools and schedules the required information will be delivered.
Pre- and post-appointment
ISO 19650 distinguishes two stages. The pre-appointment BEP is part of the tender and shows how the team intends to meet the requirements. After award it becomes the post-appointment BEP — the binding delivery plan, including the Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP).
What goes in?
- Roles & responsibilities — lead/task teams, information management.
- Response to the requirements — how each EIR requirement is addressed.
- Strategy & methods — modelling approach, coordination process, QA.
- Technology — software, IFC/openBIM, CDE, coordinate system, naming, classification.
- Delivery planning — TIDP per team, merged into the MIDP; milestones.
- Level of Information Need — meeting the required LOIN.
Common mistakes
- A BEP with no visible link to the EIR — pure method description without requirement mapping.
- No TIDP/MIDP delivery planning → unclear dates and responsibilities.
- Technical choices (formats, CDE) contradicting the EIR.
- Pre- and post-appointment stages mixed up.
