1. Introduction
1.1. Purpose of Document
The objective of this Document is to assist qualified persons (QPs) indeveloping 3D CAD 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), Building Plan Department;
b. Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA);
c. National Environment Agency (NEA), Central Building Plan Unit;
d. Public Utility Board (PUB); and
e. Fire Safety and Shelter Department (FSSD).
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.
1.2. Scope
This submission guideline contains a list of requirements written in a concise
form to guide QPs in preparing 3D CAD models for 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 3D
CAD or BIM application. For any submission requirements mentioned in the
Appendices that require customizations to a certain extent, QPs are also
advised to make reference to the training model distributed or to consult the
respective software vendor for any enquiries on the application. If there are
contradictions between this submission guideline and vendors instructions,
BCA CORENET e-Plan Check team shall be contacted for clarification.

2.5. Last Saved Model or Last Saved View
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.
2.6. Model for Re-submission
The same 3D CAD or 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 BIM file name following the format at Section 2.4.
2.7. Model for Addition and Alteration Works
For any plan of alteration or addition to an existing building, all the building
objects or elements should be demarcated clearly by colours in Table 3 (in
accordance with SS CP83 Part 5):
Table 3 Colours used for A&A project
Colour Usage
Magenta Proposed elements
Cyan Existing elementsYellow 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 2.

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 (Figure 3). The 3D
modelling as practiced in the industry today normally contains only the 3D geometricobjects, 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 applications Wall Tool, slabs using the Slab tool,
and so on. This section is optional if QP are to submit the BIM model for automated
e-Plan Checking System.
Figure 3 BIM containment hierarchy
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.

In BIM environment, there are a few items that users 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 BIM user 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 users 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. An empty opening should be cut directly from a complete wall. For
example, a parapet should have a full wall drawn from finished floor
to finished ceiling, before inserting an opening into the wall
component (Note:The typical modelling error is to draw the parapet
wall up to a certain height without the opening-wall relationship);
d. Each object and element is assigned a unique identifier, for the
purpose of information sharing. Thus, it is necessary to include the
associated object properties in accordance with the approved
standards and naming conventions in Appendix D;
e. Objects are defined by their own properties or attributes. For example,
wall objects must include the interior and exterior property as
defined in IFC. Most BIM applications will incorporate this, either as
shared parameters or add-on module, which may require the user to
set the property value in some cases. Please refer to respective
vendors documentation for instructions on how this property is set;
and
f. In some BIM applications, certain properties of objects and building
elements are set using layers. For instance, separation between
exterior 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 impactthe object properties (Note:This section only applies to any 3D CAD
7/27/2019 3D Submission Guideline to Regulatory Agencies
13/69
3D CAD/BIM Submission Guidelineto Regulatory Agencies

or BIM applications that use layers as the primary mechanism for
filtering and structuring content).
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 4), while several spaces of similar function can
be grouped to form a zone. Users are advised to follow the best practice
recommended below:
a. A naming convention must be used in identifying space object. The
Long Name field should contain an approved name as specified in
Appendix D;
b. 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), users 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.
Users should consult the vendors to learn the recommended method
for creating space objects (Note: Users 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);
c. 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); and
d. Spaces of similar function or stacked spaces are grouped for manydifferent analysis and organizational purpose, known as zone. The
naming convention of these zones should follow the approved
descriptions in Appendix D.
