Episode 145 - ISO 19650

ISO 19650, an international standard for Building Information Modelling (BIM), aims to streamline information management throughout a built asset's lifecycle. It builds upon UK standards BS 1192 and PAS 1192-2 to enhance efficiency and predictability in construction projects. The standard comprises five documents detailing information management phases, including project delivery, operations, information exchange, security, and health and safety. Key principles involve clear client requirements, collaborative information production, and a common data environment for controlled information access. Certification benefits include improved asset management, enhanced collaboration, reduced risks, and better information quality. Implementing ISO 19650 requires understanding its principles, assessing processes, and undergoing a certification audit, following structured procurement, planning, and production phases for consistent information management and secure collaboration.
