BIM e-Submission
Part 2: Civil and Structural Requirements
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this Document is to assist qualified persons (QP) and Accredited
Checker (AC) in developing BIM models to meet new requirements of Building
Information Model (BIM) submission. It describes the requirements and guidance for
creating BIM with specific object types, associated properties and presentation format
to the Building and Construction Authority for processing:
Note: The respective regulatory agency reserves the right to reject and request for necessary
correction
This submission of anycontains

list of requirements thatindo

concise the requirements.
to guide QPs in
psubmission to the above mentioned regulatory agencies. It is by no means an exhaustive
SCOPE
These submission guidelines contain lists of requirements of the building works which
must be complied with when making a structural (ST) submissions which covers both
substructure and superstructure elements and civil defence//transit shelters (CD)
submissions. The items in this Standard Guideline may also be amended or revoked
when new written laws come into force. For more information or enquiries on the
specific submission requirements, please consult the appropriate regulatory agency
above. For Software specific on how to BIM e-submission, refer to Appendix A of this
guide.
These user manuals should be read carefully as this Document cannot take into
account all the special features of individual BIM application. For any submission
requirements mentioned in the Appendices that require customisations to a certain
extent, QPs are also advised to make reference to the training materials distributed or
to consult the respective software vendor for any enquiries on the application.

Federated files
o Several BIM to contain all information. Suitable for medium to big
sized projects with several buildings/structures or major
infrastructure projects (MRT, airports, seaports)
o UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path or Relative path shall be
used.
A relative path defines the position of a linked file in a working directory such as project
folder. Its position is defined by its relative location.
o QPs may opt to use any of the above mentioned method, whichever
is appropriate for the project. Models shall be organized a single or
federated BIM model in due consideration of its projects size,
complexity, and submission phases.
