Small-practice architect — modest CWMF project

On appointment, clarify the CWMF role and information responsibilities. The Irish BIM Mandate sets out the public-sector roles you must adopt.

• Confirm lead-designer appointment in writing
• Identify the appointing-party contact
• Note the CWMF tier the project falls under

ISO 19650-2 §5.1.4 sets the framework for project information requirements. The Build Digital IR brief template is tuned for CWMF small-project scale.

• Capture purposes for each model use
• Set delivery milestones aligned with CWMF Vol.2 §4.1
• Cross-reference the Mandate's information requirements section

A pre-appointment BEP captures how the lead appointed party intends to deliver information. ISO 19650-2 §5.2.1 lists the minimum content; the Build Digital BEP template scales it to CWMF small-project scope.

• Use the BD pre-appointment BEP template as a starting point
• Aggregate sub-consultant TIDPs into the MIDP per ISO 19650-2 §5.4.1
• Confirm the CDE structure ahead of mobilisation

Run the delivery loop against the milestones established in stage 2. CWMF Vol.3 §2.3 sets the asset-information expectations at handover; the Build Digital handover guide explains how to package this for an Irish public client.

• Track delivery against CWMF Vol.2 §4.1 milestones
• Close out the asset-information requirements per Vol.3 §2.3
• Walk the client through the handover package using the BD guide
