ISO 19650-1:2018 Organization and digitization of information about buildings and civil engineering works, including building information modelling (BIM) — Information management using building information modelling — Part 1: Concepts and principles outlines the concepts and principles for information management at a stage of maturity described as building information modelling (BIM). The standard provides recommendations for a framework to manage information including exchanging, recording, versioning and organizing for all actors.
ISO 19650-1 is primarily intended for use by those involved in:
- procurement, design, construction and/or commissioning of built assets;
- delivering asset management activities, including operations and maintenance.
The standard is applicable to the whole life cycle of any built asset, including strategic planning, initial design, engineering, development, documentation and construction, day-to-day operation, maintenance, refurbishment, repair, and end-of-life. It is also applicable to assets or projects of any scale and complexity.

Applying ISO 19650-1
Applying the concepts and principles of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in conformity with ISO 19650-1 involves several key steps to effectively manage information throughout the lifecycle of built assets.
Here are those steps.
Understand the ISO 19650-1 Standard
- Familiarize yourself with the requirements, concepts, and principles outlined in ISO 19650-1.
- Understand how the standard applies to your organization and projects.
Establish Information Requirements
- Define the information requirements for the project, including what information needs to be captured, managed, and exchanged throughout the lifecycle of the built asset.
- Consider the needs of all stakeholders involved in the project.
Appoint an Information Manager
Appoint an Information Manager responsible for overseeing the implementation of BIM processes and ensuring compliance with ISO 19650-1. The Information Manager serves as the central point of contact for information management activities.
Develop a BIM Execution Plan (BEP)
Develop a BIM Execution Plan (BEP) that outlines how BIM will be implemented on the project in accordance with ISO 19650-1. The BEP should detail roles and responsibilities, information exchange processes, standards and protocols, and other relevant information.
Establish Common Data Environment (CDE)
Implement a Common Data Environment (CDE) to serve as the central repository for all project-related information. The CDE facilitates collaborative working and ensures that stakeholders have access to the most up-to-date information.
Implement Information Management Processes
- Implement processes and workflows for managing information throughout the project lifecycle, including creation, validation, approval, storage, and sharing of information.
- Ensure that these processes align with the requirements of ISO 19650-1.
Use BIM Authoring Tools
- Utilize BIM authoring tools to create, edit, and manage digital representations of the built asset.
- Ensure that these tools support open standards and interoperability to facilitate information exchange.
Coordinate Information Exchange
- Establish procedures for coordinating information exchange between project stakeholders, including clients, designers, contractors, and facility managers.
- Define information exchange formats, protocols, and schedules to ensure timely and accurate delivery of information.
Ensure Compliance with Standards and Protocols
- Ensure that all project participants comply with relevant standards, protocols, and guidelines for BIM implementation, including those outlined in ISO 19650-1.
- Provide training and support as needed to ensure understanding and adherence to these requirements.
Monitor and Review
- Continuously monitor and review the implementation of BIM processes to identify areas for improvement and ensure compliance with ISO 19650-1.
- Conduct regular audits and evaluations to assess the effectiveness of information management practices.
Facilitate Handover and Operation
Prepare for the handover of information to the asset owner/operator at the end of the project. Ensure that all relevant information is provided in the appropriate format and structure to support ongoing operation and maintenance of the built asset.
In conclusion…
By following these steps, organizations can effectively apply the concepts and principles of Building Information Modelling in conformity with ISO 19650-1, leading to improved collaboration, efficiency, and quality in the delivery and operation of built assets.
