Summary
Instructions for G202–2013 is a protocol form used with AIA Document E203™–2013 to govern the development, use, and exchange of building information models (BIM). It outlines model content at five levels of development, assigns authorship, clarifies ownership, and defines model usage standards and file formats. The form also includes a table for model element classification, with options for UniFormat™ or OmniClass™ classification systems. This ensures consistent BIM protocol across projects.
Synopsis.
AIA Document G202–2013 is a form that is coordinated for use with AIA Document E203™–2013, Building Information Modeling and Digital Data Protocol Exhibit. Its purpose is to document the agreed-upon protocols and procedures that will govern the development, transmission, use, and exchange of building information models on a project. It establishes the requirements for model content at five levels of development, and the authorized uses of the model content at each level of development. Through a table completed for each project, AIA Document G202–2013 assigns authorship of each model element by project milestone. G202 defines the extent to which model users may rely on model content, clarifies model ownership, and sets forth building information modeling standards and file formats.

Using G202–2013.
Completing G202–2013. As a companion to the 2013 Digital Practice documents, the AIA has published the AIA Guide, Instructions and Commentary to the 2013 Digital Practice Documents. The AIA Guide, Instructions and Commentary to the 2013 Digital Practice Documents provides an in-depth explanation of the 2013 Digital Practice documents on a section-by-section basis. Please consult the AIA Guide, Instructions and Commentary to the 2013 Digital Practice Documents for detailed instructions on how to complete the 2013 Digital Practice documents.
NOTE: Users may select from three different options in creating the Model Element Table appearing in AIA Document G202–2013 Section 3.3. User may choose either the UniFormat™ or OmniClass™ classification system to identify the various Model Elements for the Project. If the parties intend to supplement the Model Element Table with Model Elements that are not part of UniFormat or OmniClass, those Model Elements should be set forth at the end of the table. Further, if users intend to provide a customized set of Model Elements in place of Uniformat or OmniClass, they may also choose to create the Model Element Table without a pre-set classification system.
