UNDERSTANDING THE STANDARD

What is ISO 19650:2018?

ISO 19650:2018 establishes concepts and principles for managing information in the context of Building Information Modelling (BIM). It describes information management at the maturity level associated with BIM under the ISO 19650 series.

BIM is an intelligent, model-based digital process that helps architects, engineers and construction professionals plan, design, build and manage buildings and infrastructure more effectively.

A building information model represents the physical and functional characteristics of a facility digitally. As a shared information resource, it supports dependable decisions across the asset's entire life cycle—from early planning and conception to eventual demolition.

BENEFITS OF BIM

BIM brings benefits to your business

BIM processes can help organisations across construction-related industries work more productively, deliver higher-quality outcomes, attract skilled people and compete for new projects. As more public and private clients require BIM capabilities, developing the right approach can be commercially important.

Greater productivity

Coordinate information and workflows more efficiently across project teams.

Higher-quality work

Use better shared information to support design and delivery decisions.

Attract skilled talent

Demonstrate modern, collaborative digital construction practices.

Win new business

Be better prepared when clients specify BIM requirements in contracts.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

What is BIM Level 2?

The original Eryri Consulting page explains that BIM Level 2 was introduced as a requirement for UK government construction projects from 4 April 2016.

It emphasises that contractors should be ready to demonstrate their BIM processes, explain how they will meet project information requirements and show how their methods align with the applicable standards.

Historical terminology: “BIM Level 2” reflects the terminology used in the original page. Current projects may reference the ISO 19650 series and project-specific information requirements instead.
