List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. | Develop BIM project documentation. | 1.1. | BIM project processes and schedules are planned and finalised in consultation with project stakeholders. |
| 1.2. | Procedures to provide accurate and reliable exchange of project models are developed according to organisational andproject requirements. |
| 1.3. | Project documentation is generated according to organisational and project requirements using outputs of functions of design technology tools. |
2. | Develop a BIM project. | 2.1. | Informationrelating to small-scale building design projects is analysed and applied to plans for BIM development. |
| 2.2. | 3-D models are created according to organisational and project requirements and software operating instructions using design technology tools. |
| 2.3. | Building design data is embedded in project model objects to allow collaboration, integration and generation of required project documentation. |
| 2.4. | BIM is checked and tested according to organisational and project requirements to confirm accuracy and functionality. |
3. | Exchange and collaborate on project models. | 3.1. | Transfer of BIM files is tested according to organisational procedures to ensure integrity of format, and data is retained on receipt. |
| 3.2. | BIMs are provided to other consultants or contractors for addition of specialist data according to project requirements and data sharing protocols. |
| 3.3. | BIMs or BIM data provided by other consultants or contractors are imported or linked and checked for integrity according to project and organisational requirements. |
| 3.4. | BIMs are amended and manipulated live in collaboration with other contractors and consultants operating within the same model. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit.
The person must also develop and collaborate on building information models for three different projects, consisting of:
one Class 1 residential building of three storeys

benefits and challenges of adopting a BIM approach to design production and documentation
contextual and site constraints to be incorporated into BIM
conventional and sustainable construction materials and methods, including their application, behaviour, characteristics, performance and interactions with other materials
design development and approval processes, and implications of changes to design at each stage
design drawing and representation methods
BIM design technology’s built-in tools and networking tools required to maintain two or more disciplines in a single project model within a local area network (LAN)
tools required to manage a project with two or more disciplines across a wide area network (WAN)
hazards of site, materials, construction practices and building use over its life cycle
key features of building life cycles
legislation, codes and standards that apply to sustainable design requirements for small-scale building design projects specified in the performance evidence
organisational scope of business, service levels and fees relating to planning processes
details required in BIM for planning processes
pricing of resources
principles of integrated project delivery
