I prepare my BIM and CAD deliverables after following through Quality Assurance measures. I follow check lists, check forms, and get them signed from various levels of colleagues. First level check is done by the Preparer of the document, usually – Engineers, Associates. Second level check is done by the Structural Engineers. Final and third level check is done by the Approver, who is usually the project manager.

In the check list, all the CAD standards including layer names, colors, line weights, line patterns, text heights, text styles, text colors will be validated. Apart from this the clarity and precision of the

I am the Initiator for Autodesk Construction Cloud BIM Review workflow for the stage submission. During the periodic submission of files to the client every phase, as a BIM Model manager, I must detach the Revit work sets and submit the models in a non-work shared model. For this, I detach the central file and clean up the model by purging unwanted objects and sheets and views. I only keep a single 3D View named in a structured manner, used to export the other exchange formats such as Industry Foundation Class or AutoCAD 3D DWG formats. This is the requirement for the project as per the BIM Execution Plan.

For a variety of reasons there could be hidden work sets that are used to host Revit Links, DWG Links, temporary model elements used to host objects or make a partial cut on solid model elements, placeholder elements that are used by Automation scripts like Dynamo for Revit or Grasshopper for Rhino-Inside-Revit. Such model elements would appear when carelessly detaching all the existing work sets. Hence, I must delete the unwanted work sets and ensure the deleted objects do not make any impact on the permanent elements.

After doing the purging, I always ensure the number of elements in the Shared View of the central model and the final detached Model for client submission have the same number of model elements. Below is one such example and I prepare detailed record of all the models I repeat this process. I also encourage my colleagues who performs similar task to follow the same workflow and alter them when their work is lagging in quality. I send an email concisely explaining where the gaps are and how to rectify them.
