The BIM Overlay to the RIBA Outline Plan of Work builds on the Green Overlay to the RIBA Outline Plan of Work , published in November 2011, and forms part of the response from the construction industry, and in particular the RIBA, to the Government’s commitment to have all its projects utilising BIM from the summer of 2012. This document provides an Overlay that simplifies the BIM processes and clarifies contradictory terms causing confusion in the industry. Core BIM activities are considered in the guidance for each stage of the plan. Together with the Green Overlay to the RIBA Outline Plan of Work these two documents are part of the preparatory work being undertaken prior to a fundamental review of the RIBA Plan of Work that will take place in 2012-13.
