Information Delivery Planning

The delivery team will develop their information delivery plan in response to requirements specified in the EIR and AIR. The plan will refer to how they will meet information requirements. When, how, and what information will be delivered to whom by whom? How will the information be coordinated with information delivered by other parties?

The information delivery planning should be started by the appointing party, with the details completed by the lead appointed party with information for the appointed party's task teams before this includes design works starts. Information should be delivered through pre-defined information exchanges at the specified decision points (milestones), and the whole project should be considered when determining these exchanges.

The delivery team should ensure that the necessary appointment conditions and amendments are complete and agreed upon and that the correct processes are in place to align with the team’s capacity. The teams capacity, and that the team has the appropriate skills, competencies and technology to support delivery of the required information.

Information Delivery Planning examples can be found in Annex C  S.R. CEN/TR 17654:2021 Guideline for the implementation of Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) and BIM Execution Plans (BIM execution plan) on European level based on I.S. EN ISO 19650-1 and -2

• Responsibility matrix

A high and detail-level responsibility matrix, often called a RACI matrix, is a tool that defines and communicates the roles and responsibilities of individuals or teams within a project or organisation, specifying who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed for each task or activity. It helps ensure clear accountability and effective collaboration. The Lead Appointed Party establishes it. The RIAI have created an excel template for the responsibility matrix. Detailed guidance on information management functions, resources, and sample responsibility matrixes cam also be found in the  UK BIM Framework guidance part A.

For further information, refer to the section Responsibility Matrix.

• Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP)

A Task Information Delivery Plan (TIDP) is a detailed plan for the production of information containing the sequence, dependents, and duration of production of information. The Appointed Parties’ task teams should create the TIDP for the information they will be producing. An example created by the Centre of Digital Build Britain can be viewed HERE. This is for reference purposes and the Irish annex should be used where possible.

For further information, refer to section TIDP

• Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP)

A Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) is a central plan that outlines how all the delivery team’s project information will be managed, organized, and shared throughout the project's lifecycle. It's like the project's information roadmap, ensuring when the information will be delivered and who is responsible. The Lead Appointed Party creates it, and there is only one MIDP per project. This document should high light issues with dependant documents and help plan the delivery of information. The Scottish Future Trust and RIAI have published MIDP templates for an MIDP. This is for reference purposes and the Irish annex should be used where possible.

This whole appointment process is summarized by the following figure 3 by UK BIM Framework guidance   part 2:
