Project Specific EIR

Description

Imperial utilises 3 forms of Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) within its project and change delivery processes:

  • BIM process EIR
  • 3D EIR
  • 2D EIR

An Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) document defines and specifies the information that Imperial teams require when a project or change is undertaken. An EIR must be issued for each project or change. 

The EIR is specific to the scope of works and sets out for the prospective team: 

  • What information is required and how it should be developed and/or delivered at each project stage
  • What must be delivered at completion and handover

The prospective team require this document to determine the scope and cost of information delivery. It should therefore be requested from the Building Information Team at project inception and reviewed at tender stage for all changes. An EIR for tender should not be more than 3 months old to be submitted for use. If a current EIR requires updating please contact the Building Information Team. The completed project EIR will be saved to the Common Data Environment (CDE), Box, and issued to the Project Manager (PM) via email.

Engagement

  • Project Manager (PM) to discuss and confirm the information deliverables with the Building Information Manager/Space Team (cadcompliance@imperial.ac.uk). Once confirmed, the Project Manager is to share the EIR formally via a Box link, so the Project Information Manager (PIM) and appointed party can prepare their BIM Execution Plan (BEP).
  • The Building Information Team will produce the required EIR. Please email cadcompliance@imperial.ac.uk with the full project title, project number and agreed information deliverable.
  • The Category Manager should be advised on the information deliverable.

Approvals & Compliance Review

Once the information deliverables have been afreed, a project specific Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) document will be uploaded to the project Box filing area and issued via email to the Project Manager (PM) for distribution to all relevant team members. 

Repeated Subsequent RIBA Stages 

This process must be repeated at the contractor tender stage to agree ongoing information deliverables and to discuss/document any required changes.
