Lead designer on a CWMF public-works project — Ireland

Six-stage navigational layer linking the lead designer to the CWMF volumes, Irish BIM Mandate sections, IS EN ISO 19650-2 clauses, and Build Digital templates that govern an Irish public-works information journey.

Contexto do projeto: Companion to the small-practice CWMF flow: this is the full-framework view for a design-team lead on a standard public-works appointment. Sources mirror the IE source register (CWMF, Irish BIM Mandate, Build Digital).

   CWMF positioning & appointment

   ●Responsabilidade do IM · Lead Designer — with the contracting authority

   Place the appointment in the CWMF structure and confirm the public-sector information-management roles it triggers.

   Orientação embutida

   The CWMF tier and project class decide which information obligations apply.

   • Confirm the project's CWMF pillar, tier and contract form
   • Identify the Irish BIM Mandate roles the appointment assumes (appointing party, lead appointed party)
   • Complete the pre-appointment information exchange before mobilising design

   Information requirements under the Mandate

   ●Responsabilidade do IM · Lead Designer — drafting for the appointing party

   Translate the contracting authority's needs into EIR-style information requirements per the Irish BIM Mandate.

   Orientação embutida

   On many Irish public projects the lead designer drafts what the authority should have specified — do it on the Build Digital templates so it survives audit.

   • Draft information requirements with the Build Digital IR brief template
   • Align requirement granularity with CWMF deliverable stages
   • Cross-reference the Mandate's information requirements section explicitly

   Tender response & BIM Execution Plan

   ●Responsabilidade do IM · Lead Appointed Party — design team lead

   Respond with a pre-appointment BEP that prices information management honestly for the design team.

   Orientação embutida

   IS EN ISO 19650-2 governs the BEP; the CWMF governs when it is contractually examined.

   • Build the pre-appointment BEP on the Build Digital template
   • Evidence task-team capability and capacity for each design discipline
   • Declare the federation strategy and survey/reference information assumptions

   Design production against CWMF milestones

   ●Responsabilidade do IM · Lead Appointed Party — design task teams

   Deliver design information against CWMF stage gates with TIDP/MIDP discipline.

   Orientação embutida

   CWMF stage gates are unforgiving: a missed information milestone is a programme event, not a quality note.

   • Map TIDPs to CWMF deliverable stages and aggregate the MIDP
   • Hold CDE container-state discipline through design iterations
   • Track milestone readiness weekly once tender-stage information is in flight

   Compliance & assurance

   ●Responsabilidade do IM · Lead Designer — compliance evidence owner

   Evidence Mandate compliance: keep the assurance trail the contracting authority and auditors will request.

   Orientação embutida

   Assurance under the Mandate is documentary: if it isn't recorded in the CDE, it didn't happen.

   • Maintain the compliance checklist per Mandate §4 from project start
   • Record acceptance decisions and their requirement references
   • Keep audit-ready exports of milestone information states

6. 06

   Handover & asset information

   ●Responsabilidade do IM · Lead Appointed Party — handover to the contracting authority

   Hand over asset information that the estate's operations team can actually consume.

   Orientação embutida

   CWMF handover is the start of the asset's information life, not the end of the project's.

   • Deliver asset information per CWMF Vol.3 requirements
   • Validate handover containers against the original information requirements
   • Use the Build Digital handover guide for the plain-language acceptance walkthrough
