Abstract
Federal civil infrastructure benefits from a repeatable, auditable execution plan for building information
modeling that merges prescriptive standards with automation. This study assembles a six-component package:
discipline-specific view templates and project browser naming; a scheduled quality-assurance and quality-control loop
combining markup review, clash detection, and parameter validation; scenario-based modeling with design options
across linked models; automation scripts for batch checks, naming, and bulk edits; governed parametric family
libraries; and open handover using the Industry Foundation Classes standard. Applied over 6 months on 3
multidisciplinary federal projects, the plan delivered measurable gains: view creation faster by 33%; structural
drawing-set generation shorter by 37%; multi-view updates reduced by 81%; pre-coordination checks faster by 68%;
scripted workflows cut repetitive editing by 74%; and Industry Foundation Classes exports lowered attribute loss from
12% to 5%. Results indicated reduced rework, shorter coordination cycles, and improved transparency for owners.
