The publication series “Common BIM Requirements 2012” series 1-13.

The publication series “Common BIM Requirements 2012” is the result of a broad-based development project entitled COBIM. The need for these requirements arises from the rapidly growing use of building information modeling in the construction industry. During all phases of a construction project, the involved parties have an increasing need to define more precisely what is being modeled and how the modeling is done. “Common BIM Requirements 2012” is based on the previous instructions of the owner organizations and the user experiences derived from them, along with the thorough experience the writers of the instructions possess with model-based operations.

“Common BIM Requirements 2012” covers targets for new construction and renovation, as well as the use and facility management of buildings. The minimum requirements for modeling and the information content of models are included in the modeling requirements.
