Some 60% of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) files submitted electronically still do not comply with URA’s CAD submission guidelines and BCA’s BIM e-submission guidelines. This has made it difficult to identify the correct files easily and quickly, causing unnecessary delays when retrieving the files for processing work.
We seek the co-operation and understanding of all Qualified Persons and Professional Engineers to immediately adhere to the proper CAD & BIM file naming conventions to improve the development application process.
Naming CAD Files
CAD files should be named as follows:
A full list of standardised acronyms can be found in the CAD submission guidelines.
Naming BIM Files
BIM files should be named as follows:
A full list of standardised acronyms can be found in the BIM e-submission guidelines.
