BCA has released the CORENET X Implementation Plan together with the CORENET X Code of Practice (COP) where the IFC-SG requirements are defined in details.
The industry was informed the phased onboarding of new projects and existing onto CORENET X to make the necessary plans and preparation well ahead of the implementation dates.
The summary of the key dates and requirements are shown below.
The Code of Practice ( COP) is intended to help industry practitioners in understanding how to prepare multi-agency regulatory submissions across the key submission gateways in CORENET X.
The Code of Practice includes recommended procedures and good practices to address common Building Information Modelling (BIM) issues at general project collaboration level (e g multi disciplinary project set up, geo referencing) and specific details that vary from firm to firm today.
This Code of Practice complements the IFC SG Resource Kit (https://go.gov.sg/ifcsg), which provides technical templates and help resources from key proprietary BIM software for the generation of IFC SG models.
To ensure the regulatory information can be captured and exported to IFC, the information must first be incorporated in the BIM model and exported to IFC.
IFC allows for customization of properties and object types to the existing IFC entities. While most regulatory information will be represented in existing international IFC standards, some "localization" will need to be carried out to capture selected information unique to the Singapore context.
