Aimed at Building Information Modeling (BIM) professionals in France, this guide aims to shed light on how ISO 19650 is shaping the future of information management in the construction sector. This article provides a detailed guide to ISO 19650, highlighting its components, practical application and benefits. We'll also explore the certification process and the impact of this standard on the quality and efficiency of construction projects. So, to find out more about ISO 19650, read on!
What is ISO 19650?
Projects are no longer limited to the delivery of the built asset itself. While we've always had non-technical deliverables (operations and maintenance manuals or construction plans, for example), in the digital age, deliverable data throughout an asset's lifecycle, from inception to demolition, has become essential to take into account full lifecycle costs and customer needs.
The aim of ISO 19650 is to formalize contracting processes for all the non-technical deliverables of a project (i.e. not the built good itself). It makes transparent the roles and responsibilities of each party in the definition and realization of these requirements and, at the same time, facilitates their transformation into contractual responsibilities for the parties responsible for carrying out a project. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is, of course, an integral part of successful realization.
ISO 19650 is a key standard in the field of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Set against a backdrop of increasing digitization of building information, it aims to harmonize practices and ensure effective, consistent implementation of BIM worldwide.
