Digital Construction (electrical)

term introduced first in PAS 1192 and updated in ISO 19650 framework, it depicts the process of specifying and delivery of project and asset information

Digital Plan Of Work (DPoW)

forms a framework that supports informed and consistent decision making by project teams, at each work stage, helping to deliver agreed and reliable information.

Exchange Information Requirements (EIR)

Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) term introduced by BS EN 19650 replace the PAS 1192 term Employer Information Requirements (EIR) on all projects where BS EN ISO 19650 compliance is required.

Lead Appointed Party

The term introduced by ISO 19650 typically describes the Tier 1 Main Contractor.

Federation Strategy

breakdown structure to help plan the production of information

Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP)

schedule of information containers and delivery dates, for a specific task team

Model Production Delivery Table (MPDT)

An MPDT its old PAS 1192 term, the MPDT defines who produces what, when and to what level of detail.

A workset is a collection of elements in a work shared Revit project. The purpose of worksets is to enable multiple users to work on the same project and facilitate collaboration by subdividing building elements in a project.

The organisation of worksets is essential for updating, maintenance and review of models. It should be organised in a way that users working simultaneously are not interfered by each other by frequent request and grant of permission to edit elements and facilitates modelling and coordination of within scope by closing worksets outside the scope.

All BIM projects in Revit platform shall be work-sharing enabled with worksets suitably created for the project needs.

Worksets shall be created in Just‐in‐Time fashion as per project needs, following the Workset Identification Convention.

Table 1 – Workset Identification Convention

{Package/Appointment No.}	_	{Discipline}	_	{DESCRIPTION}
x_datum	_	Grid/Level/ etc
x_link_	_	{MODEL FILE NAME}

{Package } ‐ MC/ NSC00x

{Discipline} – AR/ ST/ FS/ AC etc

{Description} ‐ Description of Scope

Table 6.6‑2 – Workset Identification Examples

Name	Description
X_datum_Grid	Grids in the Architecture model
X_datum_Level	Levels in Architecture model
X_datum_ReferencePlane	Reference Planes in Architecture model
MC_AR_Core Wall	Default workset for all architectural scope
NSC001_AC_Air Side xxxx	Architectural elements in ‘scope A’
x_link_’Project Code’_AR_XX_Tower_SD.rvt	Tower architectural model

Example of General rules in workset creation

No default worksets created by Revit should remain unchanged, i.e. Shared Levels and Grids and Workset1. These should be renamed to AR_Level, AR_Grid and AR_Overall respectively.
{{Description}} used in workset identification should describe the scope of works logically contained in the workset. This will help users to understand the structure of the project when they return to the project after an extended period and facilitate model review and sign‐off. Avoid adding any worksets for single user’s purpose, such as “John’s Workset”.
All levels and grids in the model shall be appropriately assigned to worksets.
In the case where two or more disciplines coexist in the same model, they should be assigned to different worksets.
All linked model instances must be assigned to its link workset.
