	Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a very broad term that describes the process of creating and managing digital information about a built asset such as a building, bridge, highway, tunnel, and so on. It centres around the creation of employer's information requirements (EIR), which define the information that the employer wishes to procure in order to develop and operate a built asset. Setting this out in a contract document ensures that appropriate information is created in a suitable format at the right time. For more information see: Building information modelling.

A document is a representation of information in a written, drawn or digital form. Construction and engineering projects are often complex and document-heavy.

An understanding of where documents are, who created them, what they are for and how to retrieve them is extremely important in order to avoid confusion and mistakes. on a building design project, the consultant team members and the client may wish to agree a common system of document control.

For a list of the documents that are commonly required by or referred to in a construction contract, see Contractual documents.

For a list of the documents setting out the obligations and responsibilities of the parties to the contract on a traditionally-procured, fully-designed construction project, see Contract documents.

Tender documents may be prepared for a range of contracts, such as equipment supply, the main construction contract (including design by the contractor), demolition, enabling works, etc. See Tender documentation.

The 'approved documents' provide guidance for how the building regulations can be satisfied in common building situations.

Many different types of drawing can be used during the process of designing and constructing buildings. For more information, see Types of drawings.

Briefing documents are crucial to the success of a project as they describe the requirements for which the design provides the solution.
