13. Purpose of the National BIM Guide • To assist clients, consultants and stakeholders to clarify their BIM requirements for construction projects in a nationally consistent manner.

14. Nature of the National BIM Guide • A framework for BIM implementation • Adaptable for use on a range of projects • Supports open global systems • Sets minimum standards • Comprehensive - covers key BIM issues • Outcome focussed - not overly detailed or prescriptive

15. Nature of the National BIM Guide 10.9 Additional Modelling Standards In the absence of existing documented modelling standards mandated by the client, the BIM Team shall nominate the BIM Modelling Standards to be used on the project. Any amendments considered necessary must be documented. When the BIM Modelling Standards and amendments have been agreed by the BIM Team they shall be adopted and managed for consistent application by the BIM Manager. At a minimum, the BIM Modelling Standards shall address the following: • Model setup including project templates. • Team member modelling protocols including definition of authorised uses. • Model naming conventions. • View naming conventions. • System naming conventions (services, etc).
