NASA BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING SCOPE OF SERVICES

AND REQUIREMENTS FOR ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS

1. SCOPE

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this NASA Technical Standard is to define the scope of work and deliverables for architects and engineers (A-E) using Building Information Modeling (BIM) on NASA projects delivered in compliance with

NPR 8820.2, NASA Facility Project Requirements, and the Facilities Design Policies Guidelines, published by

NASA Facilities and Real Estate Division (FRED). BIM may be attached to a Request for Proposals for

Architectural Services; the A-E’s responses should include the tasks and deliverables in this NASA Technical

Standard within their proposals. If BIM is attached to the A-E's contract for services, the tasks and deliverables required by this NASA Technical Standard become an integral part of the A-E's contract for services in compliance with NPR 8820.2 and the Facilities Design Policies Guidelines. BIM, when used effectively, provides opportunities to improve facility quality while maintaining or reducing facility cost. In addition, BIM creates opportunities for reusing data for multiple purposes, including NASA’s operation and maintenance of its facilities. To achieve these ends, the BIM should be structured to achieve the required purposes. This NASA

Technical Standard describes NASA’s requirements for use of BIM in the design and development of its facilities.

1.2 Applicability

This NASA Technical Standard is applicable to A-E using BIM on NASA projects delivered using either a design-bid-build or a design-build methodology.

This NASA Technical Standard is approved for use by NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers and Facilities, and applicable technical requirements may be cited in contract, program, and other Agency documents. It may also apply to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC)), other contractors, recipients of grants and cooperative agreements, and parties to other agreements only to the extent specified or referenced in applicable contracts, grants, or agreements.

Verifiable requirement statements are designated by the acronym “BIMR” (Building Information Modeling

Requirement), numbered, and indicated by the word “shall”; this NASA Technical Standard contains 115 requirements. Explanatory or guidance text is indicated in italics beginning in section 4. To facilitate requirements selection and tailoring by NASA programs and projects, a Requirements Compliance Matrix is provided in Appendix A.

3.2 Definitions

Bid Set: Procurement documents consisting of general drawings and specifications.

Building Information Modeling (BIM): A parametric, computable representation of a facility’s project design and construction details integrated into a single model. This model can be used for design, analysis, estimating, detailing, fabrication, construction, operation, and/or maintenance of the facility project and/or any portion or element of the facility project. (Source:

NPR 8820.2)

Building Information Modeling (BIM) at 30%, 60%, 90%, 100% (Final): At the 30% submittal delivery of the project, the BIM model is an LOD 100. At the 60% submittal delivery of the project, the BIM model is an LOD 200. At the 90% submittal, BIM model is an LOD

300. At 100%, the BIM model is LOD 400 with some or all elements at LOD 500.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Authoring Software: Collaborative software used to manage, analyze, design, and produce construction documents.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Execution Plan (BEP): Defines a foundational framework to ensure successful deployment of advanced design technologies on your BIM-enabled project. The BEP is about optimizing work and model flow across the project, as contrasted with optimizing siloed interests. The key is good planning of the design-to-engineering-to-construction process to minimize downstream surprises, rework, redundancies, or gaps in the flow of (model-based) information.

Clash Free and Gap Free: All elements in the BIM are geometrically placed and not penetrating or overlapping any other item. All polylines used in the development of the BIM model are enclosed volumes with no breaches in the defined boundary of an object or area.

Closeout Record Model Set: Completed BIM model incorporating all products and their associated attributes and geometry used in the project.

DBIM Functional Requirements: Imbedded attributes within a BIM Object to represent behavioral characteristics.

Design BIM (DBIM): The construction drawings illustrating the physical location of materials and equipment and the details of construction.

Design Review: A collaborative effort during which users and technical experts verify that the design adequately addresses the project scope, objectives, and technical requirements

(typically at the 30-percent, 60-percent, and 90-percent design milestones). (Source:

NPR 8820.2)

Family: Components used to build models such as walls, windows, stairs, doors, etc.

Each family can have multiple types such as different size, materials, parameter, and variables.

Any change to a type is updated in every instance throughout the project.

Four-Dimensional (4-D) Modeling: BIM Model is dynamically connected to a scheduling program that provides a time factor.

Level of Development (LOD): Defines the content and reliability of BIM elements at different stages or milestones. Reference NBIMS-US, V3, Section 2.7.

Level of Information (LOI): A broad term that describes the process of creating and managing digital information about a built asset such as building, bridge, roadway, tunnel, and so on. The level of information is used to indicate the level of the information that is linked to the family. A family with an extremely high level of information comprises, for example, manufacturer-specific data sheets and a maintenance instruction. Reference NBIMS-US, V3, Section 2.

Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals: Organized procedural information specifying methods of operating and maintaining building systems, collateral equipment, and support equipment. O&M personnel use the manuals in the performance of day-to-day tasks.

Preferably, the manuals are in an electronic format. (Source: NPR 8820.2)

Three-Dimensional (3-D) Point Cloud: A database containing points in three-dimensional coordinate system.

Waiver: A documented authorization releasing a program or project from meeting a requirement after the requirement is put under configuration control at the level the requirement will be implemented. (Source: NPR 7120.5)

5.2.2 Design Coherence

5.2.2.1 General

5.2.2.1.1 [BIMR 29] The A-E’s Information Manager shall assemble a composite model from all of the model parts of each design discipline for the purpose of performing a visual check of the building design for spatial and system coordination.

5.2.2.1.2 [BIMR 30] Prior to each scheduled coordination meeting, an updated clash report shall be issued by the A-E Information Manager to the technical discipline consultants.

See section 5.2.2.1.5.

5.2.2.1.3 [BIMR 31] A-E shall use coordination software for assembling the various design models to electronically identify clashes, collectively coordinate resolutions, and track and publish interference reports among all disciplines and update their models to reflect the coordinated resolutions.

5.2.2.1.4 [BIMR 32] The A-E shall review the model and the clash reports in coordination meetings throughout the design phases and as required by the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) until all spatial and system coordination issues have been resolved.

5.2.2.1.5 [BIMR 33] The A-E BIM Manager shall present the composite model, all the current clashes and other problems, and discuss outstanding issues to resolve or note action that is being taken at face-to-face coordination meetings held in a room with a large screen to display the model and Webinar resources for those not present in the meeting space.

[Rationale: It is the A-E's responsibility to conduct and manage an adequate and thorough clash detection process throughout the design process, so that all major interferences between building components will have been detected and resolved before construction. It is the goal of the A-E to eliminate changes to zero during construction due to major building interferences.]

5.2.2.1.6 [BIMR 34] Vertical shafts shall also be reviewed to ensure that adequate space has been allocated for all of the vertical mechanical systems and that all of the shafts line up floor to floor.

The clash detection process should uncover and address hard clashes between modeled elements and soft clashes such as infringements into code or maintenance-required clearances and necessary clearances for fireproofing, insulation, or other non-modeled elements.

For Internal Clash Resolution, A-E consultants who are responsible for multiple scopes of work are expected to coordinate the clashes between those scopes prior to providing those models to the A-E Information Manager for spatial and system coordination.

5.2.2.1.7 [BIMR 35] For spatial coordination verification, verification and tracking of resolved conflicts of all discipline coordination issues that could result in change orders or field conflicts shall be provided to NASA during project milestone dates and be fully resolved before bidding.

For ease of identification during the 3-D clash detection/coordination process, it is recommended that the trades from Table 3, System Colors for Clash Detection, be represented in these assigned colors:
