This document aims to identify appropriate additional information requirements of BIM models for reference by the industry (both public and private sectors), and in support of Government’s initiative of developing Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) and Smart City and to satisfy the use cases identified in the Report on 3D Spatial and BIM Data Use Case Requirements of the Hong Kong Construction Industry published by the CIC in 2021.

BIM-MEPAUS is a national ‘standard practice’ for BIM – specifically focusing on MEP services throughout the design process. The success of the BIM process depends on a deliberate and structured approach to the creation and maintenance of digital information. Standardisation of pre-defined parametric data fields ensures that information about a building structure, plant, equipment and fittings is precise enough to accurately represent the physical, spatial and performance characteristics of a building. The standardisation of data also enables practices and workflows to be developed to ensure that information is shared and applied routinely and consistently throughout the entire construction process, whilst maintaining the integrity of the design. BIM-MEPAUS develops best practice virtual design to physical construction BIM MEP standards, for the Australian construction and building services industry through: - A structured and consistent approach to modelling practices and data management- Reliable and accurate Design to Commission As-Built and Design to Fabrication workflows - Industry standardization delivering improved supply chain integration and efficiency
