ISO 19650 governance from day one. EIR development, BEP review, CDE configuration and structured information exchange across your project lifecycle.
Every project produces information. The question is whether it's produced correctly, exchanged on time and actually usable at handover.
Every consultant delivers differently. Different naming, different LOD, different formats. No standard enforcement. You get a pile of files, not a coordinated information set.
Information milestones slip without gates. Substandard submissions get accepted. Problems compound through every downstream stage.
Asset data doesn't exist or isn't structured for FM. The AIM is incomplete. Operations inherit a mess because information was never validated through construction.
ISO 19650 is the international standard for managing information over the whole lifecycle of a built asset using BIM. It defines who needs what information, when, and how it gets produced, verified, and handed over.
| Concept | What it means | In practice |
|---|---|---|
| OIR → EIR | Information requirements flow from the organisation (OIR) down to asset (AIR) and project level (EIR). The EIR is what your project team responds to. | The employer defines what information they need, at what detail, by when - before anyone starts modelling |
| BEP | The BIM Execution Plan is the appointed party's response to the EIR - how they'll produce, manage, and deliver information. | Pre-contract BEP for tendering, confirmed BEP once appointed. Covers standards, responsibilities, tools, deliverables |
| CDE | The Common Data Environment is the single source of truth - where all project information is produced, shared, published, and archived. | Folder structures, naming conventions, status codes, revision workflows, access controls - all configured before production |
| LOIN | Level of Information Need defines exactly what detail is required for each element at each project stage - geometry, data, and documentation. | Replaces generic LOD with purpose-driven requirements: what information is needed, why, and to support which decisions |
We act as your Information Manager. Your consultants deliver to the standard. You get FM-ready data at handover.
We write or review your EIR so your consultants know exactly what information you need, when, and to what standard
Your OIR and AIR are translated into project-level requirements - so what's produced actually serves FM
Clear gates tied to your programme - you know when information is due and what it should contain
We assess every consultant's BEP against your EIR - before they start producing, not after problems emerge
Your common data environment set up with the right folder structures, naming, workflows, and access controls
Naming conventions, classification systems, and exchange protocols - defined and communicated to all parties
We monitor every appointed party's production against their BEP commitments - you see who's delivering and who isn't
Deliverables that don't meet your requirements get rejected at the gate - not accepted and fixed later
Regular compliance dashboards showing status across all consultants - so you have visibility without chasing
Your AIM is checked for completeness and accuracy - so FM teams get data they can actually use
Formal confirmation that all your information requirements have been met through the project lifecycle
Structured asset data delivered ready for your operations team - not a pile of files, a validated information set
Templates for EIR development, BEP review, CDE configuration and information exchange protocols. Set the standard before production starts, not after problems surface.
