BIM Stage2 requirements- Delivery Team’s Mobilization Plan (former PIP)

BIM stage 2 compliant  has become the ‘accepted’ criteria to be deemed BIM-compliant. It’s based and defined by on a set of concepts and standards, that determine the requirements to be achieved or supplied; one of them is the Delivery Team’s Mobilization Plan, formerly known as PIP.

This is a fundamental knowledge for anyone who wants to be awarded a project in BIM level/stage2. All appointed teams should be aware of what these must entail, in order to know what and how to deliver their projects.

This micro training will present a quick look at a BIM level/Stage2 delivery requirement – the Delivery Team’s Mobilization Plan, formerly known as PIP. Providing an overview and summarised explanation, focused on the perspective of operating in BIM stage 2, and continuing to provide an initial understanding of the application and standards of BIM  (in accordance to ISO 19650).

For the ones that already know, about EIRs it’s a change to test, prove and record your knowledge. BIMcert is also about recognising pre acquired knowledge. This is part of the overall basic knowledge of BIM Principles. 

Notes:

  1. This training is advisable to be undertaken after completing the BIM Maturity Levels training, BIM standard overview and BIM key terms.
  2. BIMcert advises beginner learners to follow up with further training that encompasses the BIM Principles training plan.
  3. This training in part of a pathway toward more complex and complete training journey and possible qualification. Check details in additional information documentation
