Every BIM project has a stack of standards it is supposed to follow — a BIM execution plan, the client's exchange information requirements, a national annex, an in-house CAD/BIM manual. They are agreed at kick-off and then, mostly, not looked at again until an audit or a rejected deliverable forces the issue. The documents aren't the problem; acting on them is. StandardsChecker turns a written standard into a structured self-assessment your team can work through in a browser in ten minutes.
StandardsChecker
Self-assessment built from real standards — pick a standard, answer the questions, get a compliance score and a list of gaps. All scoring runs client-side; nothing you enter ever leaves your browser.
Visit StandardsCheckerWhy a BEP Doesn't Get Followed
A BIM execution plan or EIR mixes requirements, rationale, roles and examples in prose across dozens of pages. To know whether a project complies, someone has to read all of it, pull out the actual testable requirements, phrase each as a question, and work through the list — then keep that assessment current as the project moves. That work is rarely done, and when it is, it lives in one coordinator's spreadsheet. The result is a standard everyone signed up to and nobody measures against.
What StandardsChecker Does
StandardsChecker presents a standard as plain questions grouped by topic. You pick a standard, answer each — yes / no / partial, with notes — and get:
- A compliance score broken down by section, so weak areas are obvious.
- A clear list of the specific gaps — the requirements not currently met.
- An exportable summary to attach to a project record or take into a client review.
Each question traces back to the clause it comes from, so a “no” tells you exactly what to go and read.
All scoring runs entirely in the browser. No answers are stored and nothing is transmitted — so a delivery team can honestly assess itself against a client's EIR without worrying about who sees a half-finished, unflattering result.
Checkers Built From Your Own Documents
The site ships with checkers built from published standards, but the real use is a private checker built from your project's actual documents: this project's BEP, the client's EIR, your BIM manual. We take the source, extract the testable requirements, phrase and group them, and hand back a checker your team uses on every project — without re-reading the standard each time.
Where It Fits in Digital Engineering
- Project setup — confirm the team understands and can meet the BEP before modelling starts.
- Onboarding — a fast way to check new modellers and subconsultants are working to the same rules.
- Before a gateway — self-assess against the EIR before the information manager or client does.
- Multi-project practices — each project has its own standard; nobody can hold all of them in their head.
If you can't quickly answer “how compliant is this project with the BEP, and where are the gaps?” then the BEP isn't doing its job — it's just a document in the project folder.
StandardsChecker and Custom BIM Automation
StandardsChecker is the human-judgement half of standards compliance — the questions a person has to answer. It pairs with the automated half: Revit API and Dynamo routines that check a model's worksets, naming, shared parameters, view templates and sheet data against the same standard, with no manual step. If you want both — a self-assessment the team runs, and an automated model checker — that's exactly the kind of work covered elsewhere on this site.
