Home configuration and BIM · ASRR Tech
What is the difference between project and buyer options?
Project options define the concept framework; buyer options operate within it. Record which earlier decisions constrain individual choices.
A practical example
A selected bay width determines available layout variants.
This is an illustrative situation for assessing your own process.
Checklist for your team
- Separate decision levels.
- Record dependencies.
- Test a home variant.
What does success look like?
Buyers see choices fitting the agreed project framework.
Test this with a recognisable record and have a colleague review the outcome. Note missing information or decisions. Use that finding to improve a working agreement before applying the process more broadly.
Home configuration and BIM: the wider process
A home configuration becomes useful for construction when choices have a clear meaning in the model and handover. Separate what is fixed for a housing concept from what varies by project or buyer. Record versions and dependencies and test combinations rather than only individual options. Visual correctness is one check; buildability and handover completeness require their own assessment. Discuss the available Alpha configuration and BIM workflow for your concept and validate it with a representative home.
