This is Part 6: The AIA\u2019S New\nModel Element Tables."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"As explained in "],[0,[0],1,"Part\n1"],[0,[],0,", BIM is increasingly being woven through the fabric of every design and\nconstruction project. Therefore, it is becoming progressively more important\nfor those who negotiate contracts to understand the nuances of BIM and \u2013 on the\nother side of the divide \u2013 for those who engage in modeling to understand the\nnuances of their contract terms. This, in essence, is the \u201cknowledge divide.\u201d "],[0,[1],1,"Part\n2"],[0,[],0," of our series dove deeper into this knowledge divide and provided some\nrisk management strategies to overcome it. "],[0,[2],1,"Part\n3"],[0,[],0," of our series explained how the AIA\u2019s new BIM documents are structured to\nfacilitate this risk management strategy. "],[0,[3],1,"Part\n4"],[0,[],0," took a deep dive into one important aspect of the new BIM documents: BIM\nas a Contract Document. "],[0,[4],1,"Part\n5"],[0,[],0," explained some new terms in the 2022 BIM documents.

In\nthis regard, G204-2022 provides Project Participants with a table in which they\ncan designate LODs for various Model Elements at different Project milestones."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[5,7],1,"G205-2022\nAbbreviated Model Element Table"],[0,[],1," "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"G205-2022\nis one of the more unique and consequential documents in the new suite of\nDigital Practice Documents. The AIA Contract Documents Program received\nvaluable feedback related to its 2013 documents that, while the Model Element\nTable contained therein was critical, it was occasionally burdensome to\ncomplete and sometimes created a hurdle to proper completion of the entire\ndocument set. As a result, the AIA Contract Documents Program created\nG205-2022, a Model Element Table that is abbreviated. The G205-2022 can\nfacilitate the use of a Model Element Table by Project Participants who might\notherwise not be familiar with Model Element Tables."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[5],1,"Excel-Based\nTables"]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Both\nG204-2022 and G205-2022 are now offered as free downloadable Excel files, and\ncan both be used in conjunction with "],[0,[8],1,"G203-2022 BIM Execution Plan"],[0,[],0,".
