A BEP that subcontractors actually follow.

Most BEPs are written by consultants for consultants, abstract, ISO-clause-heavy, and ignored by the trades who have to deliver against them. This pack is the BEP we issue on live engagements, rewritten for the people who actually model and coordinate the work.

What's in the pack

Four files. Ready to use

Open, rename, fill in your project. Nothing you'll need to reverse-engineer from a 200-page standard.

  1. 01

    BEP document template.

    Pre-appointment and post-appointment versions. Word and Markdown. Plain English, ISO 19650 structure, with the sections subcontractors actually read flagged.

  2. 02

    LOD / LOIN matrix.

    Excel sheet. Discipline rows, stage columns, geometric and information LOD per cell. The one document that ends the "what level of detail" argument.

  3. 03

    CDE structure guide.

    Folder taxonomy, naming convention, status codes, suitability codes. ACC / BIM360 ready. Subcontractors know where to upload without asking.

  4. 04

    Acceptance criteria checklist.

    What a model must satisfy before it gets accepted into federation. Geometric, parametric, and information checks. Used by our QA team every week.

Who it's for

Built for the three sides of a BIM contract

A BEP only works if everyone reads the same document. This one is structured so each party finds their answer fast.

Developers

Set the standard once.

Hand it to every consultant and contractor. Stops the per-project re-negotiation of how BIM gets produced and managed.

Main contractors

Run BIM across packages.

One template the MEP, façade, joinery and structural teams all read the same way. Federation stops being a translation exercise.

MEP specialists

Know what's expected.

LOD per discipline, model exchange dates, acceptance criteria, flagged for trade contractors instead of buried in consultant prose.

From the JES system
This is the BEP we use on live engagements. ISO 19650-aligned, gulf-tested across hospitality, high-rise, infrastructure and aviation. Refined over 40+ projects with 260 engineers — and rewritten for clarity, not compliance theatre.
