A STUDY OF EIR AND BEP UTILIZATION IN JAPAN

Abstract

This study explores the use of Employer's Information Requirements (EIR) and BIM Execution Plan (BEP) in construction projects. Analyzing guidelines in Japan and New Zealand, it assesses the purpose and content of EIR and BEP. Findings show the important roles of BIM representatives and life cycle consultants in EIR development, clarifying BIM's purpose. The discussion highlights EIR and BEP as crucial tools for clients, addressing information management challenges and promoting effective BIM use throughout a building's life cycle, emphasizing the need for domestic EIR and BEP projects for BIM dissemination.
