BG 6 continues to be the industry standard document for building services consultants and contractors to help them clarify and define the extent of their design activity and their design deliverables on any specific project. It is also used by clients and project managers to allocate design activity between project team members. The guide contains design activity pro-formas and drawing / model definitions that are used to support contract documentation and to encourage efficient collaborative working between building services and other designers such as architects, structural engineers and also along building services supply chains. The fourth edition takes account of the latest edition of the RIBA Plan of Work published in May 2013. It also updates the design activities relating to Building Information Modelling (BIM), especially the production of building information models at different stages of design and the exchange of structured information with a project client. The chapter on BIM has been rewritten to reflect how BIM has progressed. In particular the management of information and the project process for BIM Level 2 is now defined through PAS 1192-2:2013.
BIM Level 2 is the government's requirement for its own projects. The pro-formas, drawing/model definitions and exemplars in Appendix A have been restructured to match the RIBA Plan of Work 2013 and also align with the draft digital Plan of Work 2013 that has been developed by the BIM Task Group. There are significant changes in the new Stage 3 which incorporates all the design activities from the previous stage E. The old RIBA Stages J and K which were covered in the previous proforma 6 have now been replaced with new RIBA Stages 5 and 6 although the split between these pairs of Stages has changed significantly. This guide is available as a hard copy, pdf, and single- and multi-site licensed versions. The licensed versions of BG 6/2014 will be available end of February 2014 and will contain an unlocked pdf, an editable Word version, and editable Excel versions of the pro-formas. Buyers of a licensed version of BG 6/2012 will get a free upgrade to BG 6/2014.
