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.

Part 11 deals with project management, and utilizing BIM from the client's point of view. Information modeling tasks of project management are described as procedures as well as planning, implementation and control measures. Information modeling tasks are divided into stages according to the general project management task list. BIM deliverables and analyses that are used to support decision-making on a project-specific basis have been described at each stage of the project.
