v. others which include setting up the following
- model storage solution
- model version
- model access rights
- model aggregation and make available for viewing

d. Collect incoming models, coordinate submission and exchange of BIM models, log incoming models, validate that files are complete and usable and in compliance with the applicable protocols and/or the BIM Execution Plan and maintain record copy of each file received.
