1. Introduction 1.1. Purpose of Document
The objective of this Document is to assist qualified persons (QPs) in developing
BIM models to meet new requirements of Building Information Model (BIM)
submission. It describes the requirements and guidance for creating BIM with
specific object types, associated properties and presentation format to the following
regulatory agencies for visual processing:
a. Building and Construction Authority (BCA)
b. Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA)
c. National Environment Agency (NEA)
d. Public Utility Board (PUB)
e. Fire Safety and Shelter Department (FSSD)
f. National Parks Board (NParks)
g. Land Transport Authority (LTA)
h. Housing and Development Board (HDB)
i. JTC Corporation
1.2. Scope This submission guideline contains a list of requirements written in a concise form to
guide QPs in preparing BIM submission to the above mentioned regulatory
agencies. It is by no means an exhaustive list of requirements of the building works
which must be complied with when making a building plan or planning submission.
The items in this Standard Guideline may also be amended or revoked when new
written laws come into force. For more information or enquiries on the specific
submission requirements, please consult the appropriate regulatory agency above.
CAD vendors and retailers have developed their own application dependent user
manuals. These user manuals should be read carefully as this Document cannot
take into account all the special features of individual BIM application. For any
submission requirements mentioned in the Appendices that require customisations
to a certain extent, QPs are also advised to make reference to the training materials
distributed or to consult the respective software vendor for any enquiries on the
application. If there are contradictions between this submission guideline and
vendor’s instructions, BCA BIM team shall be contacted for clarification.
Note: The respective regulatory agency reserves the right to reject and request for necessary correction of any required deliverables or formats that do not meet the requirements.

2. General Requirements
2.1. Deliverable Format QPs are required to submit BIM saved in the file format, as summarised in Table 1,
upon submission to each of the above mentioned regulatory agencies.
Table 1 Accepted file format in BIM submission for regulatory approval
Regulatory Agencies Accepted File Format for BIM Submission Remarks 1) All BIM submissions to URA a. A single BIM in the native format 1
i. Autodesk Revit (.rvt); or :
ii. Graphisoft ArchiCAD (.pla) b. A single light-weighted file format, as
published from the similar BIM native file: i. DWF (.dwf); or ii. PDF (.pdf)
For Major project (e.g. phase condominium development), separate BIM native files can be submitted for each building block. However, a SITE BIM file linking all the buildings should be submitted.
2) BIM submissions to other regulatory agencies:
a. BCA; b. CBPU; c. PUB; d. FSSD; e. NParks; f. LTA; g. HDB (if any); and h. JTC
a. A single light-weighted file format, as published from the similar BIM native file:
i. DWF (.dwf); or ii. PDF (.pdf)
The respective regulatory agency reserves the right to request BIM native file for verification, ONLY if necessary.
All drawing views below should be compiled in a single DWF/PDF file. Refer to
Appendix C for detailed steps in publishing to DWF/PDF.
a. Plans, elevations, sections, layout views or sheets (refer to Appendix A
for specific requirements from each regulatory agency); and
b. A 3D model.
1 These are based on the IFC certified BIM applications that are commonly used by the local industry and are prepared for BIM submission to-date by going through a series of pilot runs with the authority. The accepted file format may be expanded when new BIM vendor(s) has met the requirements and ready for local BIM submission.
Note: All BIM e-submission through CORENET e-Submission System is limited to not more than 100MB per file per submission. If the file size is larger than 100MB, QPs are requested to deliver in CD-ROM to the respective agency.

Appendix A. Within each of the model view, QPs are also required to include the
related name of view, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 Sample of new erection project with name of plan indicated at the bottom
2.6. Last Saved Model or Last Saved View
BIM Submission Guideline for Architectural Discipline
Copyright © 2010 Building and Construction Authority. All Rights Reserved. 6
Checking and approval from the regulatory agencies is based on the “Last Saved
Model”, together with the “Last Saved View” of site plans, floor plans, elevations and
sections submitted. Therefore, QPs are to ensure that the following items are
checked upon submission:
a. Maximum extent is saved for each drawing view;
b. No hidden objects or annotations;
c. Any link (3D model or BIM saved in other file) that is considered part of
the submission is bind as a single integrated BIM;
d. All other external references, irrelevant drawing layers, objects,
annotations, draft work and construction lines, which are not part of the
constructed building elements, are to be removed or purged upon
submission; and
e. No propriety fonts are used for annotations and all the fonts should be
legible; and
f. All objects and annotation in each phase were displayed in the last saved
view.
2.7. Model for Addition and Alteration Works/ Re-submission
(URA)/ Amendments The same BIM model (with changes incorporated to comply with the requirements)
should be used in resubmission (i.e. no shifting of spatial coordinate system in the
re-submitted model). The revised submission should be indicated clearly in the
name of BIM file submitted, following the format at Section 2.4.
For any plan of alteration or addition to an existing building, or, re-submission for
regulatory approval, all the building objects or elements should be demarcated
clearly by colours in Table 4 (in accordance with SS CP83 Part 5):
Table 4 Colours used for A&A project
Colour Usage Magenta Proposed elements Cyan Existing elements Yellow Deleted elements
Any building works which are to be deleted, removed or demolished must be shown
in dotted lines on the plans and presented in a manner that can be easily identified
or distinguished, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Sample of A&A project / project for re-submission (plan and 3D views)
QPs should include a complete set of all related model views (plans, elevations,
sections and 3D views) in every submission, including the re-submission of
amendments. For any model view which contains NO amendments, a box indicating
that this is “For Reference ONLY” shall be placed on the top right corner of the
model view, and all its building objects or elements shall be demarcated with CYAN
colour, as shown in Figure 4.

3. High-Level Modelling Requirements (Optional) BIM is typically defined by a hierarchy of objects that contain the most intelligence to
catalog the physical and characteristics of design and construction. The 3D modelling as
practiced in the industry today normally contains only the 3D geometric objects, which
comprises the foundation of BIM, but lacking in a wide array of information associated
with each of these building elements and systems. For instance, walls are created using
the application’s Wall Tool, slabs using the Slab tool, and so on.
This section is not intended to prescribe a step-by-step method to create 3D BIM, but to
highlight best practices in creating 3D BIM enriched with information of objects or building
elements.
3.1. BIM Objects and Properties
In BIM environment, there are a few items that QPs should understand and are
advised to follow:
a. Objects and elements should be created using the designated toolset in
BIM application. For example, Slab tool should be used to draw floor
slabs only, but not the walls and columns. In cases where such tools are
not available, or they are limited in some way (e.g. some applications
cannot create sloped beam), the QPs should create a generic object that
can be assigned the correct Building Element type. The ability of BIM
applications to manage components and spaces with complex geometric
shapes varies, thus QPs are advised to work with their vendors to
understand the limitation and workaround, if any;
b. For a multi-storey building, the objects and building elements, such as
wall and column, should be split into level and drawn on floor-by-floor
basis. These elements should not span more than one storey and should
be trimmed to the bottom surface of the elements above (e.g. beam,
ceiling, floor slab, etc);
c. Objects are defined by their own properties or attributes. For example,
wall objects must include the “interior and exterior” property. Most BIM
applications will incorporate this, either as shared parameters or add-on
module, which may require the QPs to “set” the property value in some
cases. Please refer to respective vendor’s documentation for instructions
on how this property is set; and
d. In some BIM applications, certain properties of objects and building
elements are set using layers. For instance, separation between exterior
BIM Submission Guideline for Architectural Discipline
Copyright © 2010 Building and Construction Authority. All Rights Reserved. 9
and interior walls is done using layers. QPs are encouraged to consult
their respective BIM vendor about drawing layer strategies that will
support drawing production and the BIM requirements outlined in this
submission guideline, and if or how these can impact the object
properties.
3.2. Spaces and Zones
Space is also a 3D object in BIM and normally represented in plan drawing view
with a room tag (Figure 5), while several spaces of similar function can be grouped
to form a zone. QPs are advised to follow the best practice recommended below:
a. The space is typically defined by the inside faces of its bound building
elements (e.g. walls, floors and ceilings). To align with the outer face of
the exterior walls (in accordance with URA requirements for GFA
calculation), QPs have to define the external boundary lines of either the
rooms or unenclosed spaces (e.g. balconies and terraces), using the
special tools provided by the BIM applications. QPs should consult the
vendors to learn the recommended method for creating space objects;
and
b. Spaces should be defined and modelled with a vertical extent from the
finished floor to the finished ceiling. If the spaces (e.g. balcony and
terrace) are unbounded by physical elements, the height should be set
equal to the height of adjacent spaces at the same building floor.
Note: A typical modelling error is to model the spaces with zero height.
Note: QPs must ensure that space object geometry is updated to maintain its alignment with the surrounding walls, floors or ceilings, if these space-bounding elements are moved.
Note: This section only applies to any BIM applications that use layers as the primary mechanism for filtering and structuring content.
