What is ISO 19650?

ISO 19650 is a series of international standards which define a common unified framework for the effective collaborative production and management of information across the full lifecycle of a built asset using Building Information Modelling (BIM). The primary objective of ISO 19650 is to ensure that the right people have access to the right information at the right time, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of building projects.

Why ISO 19650?

Navigating the labyrinth of data and information in the world of Building Information Modelling (BIM) comes with a unique set of challenges. The lack of a unified framework fosters confusion, resulting in inconsistent documentation, conflicting data, duplicated efforts, misaligned objectives, project delays, and even costly mistakes that can significantly impact a project’s profitability. This is where ISO 19650 steps in.
