The BIM Competency Hierarchy includes three BIM competency tiers which are divided into several BIM competency sets which are, in turn, subdivided into BIM competency topics. These tiers, sets, topics – and their granular subdivision into competency items – represent all the measureable abilities, outcomes and activities of individuals who deliver model-based products and services.
