A Project BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is a foundational planning document to define the implementation strategy for BIM on a project. This is the second version of a BIM Execution Planning Standard in the U.S. National BIM Standard. The first version was approved for NBIMS-US™ Version 2.0. This version has significant revisions and replaces the first version. The main changes include a clear definition of both required and optional content elements for a BEP at various stages in the delivery process. It includes a phased approach to BEP development, including owner requirements and infrastructure templates.

This document was prepared by the BIM Execution Planning (BEP) Workgroup of the National BIM Standard Project. In addition to this standard, NBIMS-US™ includes a BEP Standard User’s Guide, a Guide to Developing a BEP, a BEP Template, and an information exchange definition for digitally transacting a BEP from one software product to another.
