The document that starts every BIM project. The EIR is written by the client (employer) and defines exactly what information they need from the project team - in what format, to what level of detail, and at which project milestones.
Think of it as the client's BIM brief. It covers:
- What software and file formats are required
- What Level of Development is expected at each stage
- How information should be named and organized
- Who is responsible for delivering what
Everything in the BIM workflow flows from the EIR.
