ISO 19650
Introduction
ISO 19650 is the international standard for managing information during the lifecycle of a built asset using Building Information Modelling (BIM).
It provides a structured framework for collaborative working and information management, ensuring consistency and efficiency across all stages of asset development – from planning and design to construction, operation, and decommissioning.

Collaboration
Promote teamwork and transparency among colleagues, partners and stakeholders.

Structured Information
Ensure information is organized, accessible, and reliable.

Lifecycle Approach
Manage information from concept to decommissioning.

Security and Integrity
Safeguard sensitive information and ensure data accuracy.
Key Components of ISO 19650

Information Requirements
- Develop Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) to ensure relevant data is shared.

Information Delivery
- Implement a Common Data Environment (CDE) for storing and sharing information.

Roles and Responsibilities
- Assign clear roles for managing information, including Information Manager and Asset Information Model (AIM) Coordinator.

Collaborative Working
- Foster effective communication and coordination among stakeholders through BIM processes.
Information Quality and Security
- Ensure the accuracy, completeness, and security of shared information.

Monitoring and Reviewing
- Regularly assess the performance of information management processes.
- Adapt and improve workflows based on project outcomes and lessons learned.

Continuous Improvement
- Regularly refine information management processes to adapt to project needs.
- Foster a culture of consistent optimisation across all members of the team.
Benefits of ISO 19650
Streamline Processes:
Reduce inefficiencies through standardized workflows.
- Risk Reduction:
Minimize errors, rework, and delays by ensuring reliable information.
- Cost Saving:
Optimize resource utilization and reduce unnecessary expenditures.
- Regulatory Compliance:
Meet legal and contractual obligations for information management.
Global Context and Relevance
ISO 19650 aligns with international best practices, making it a critical standard for the construction and built environment sectors.
Its adoption supports global efforts to improve project outcomes, reduce waste, and ensure sustainable development.
The standard is particularly relevant in regions with advanced BIM mandates, such as the UK. But it’s also relevant in the EU and parts of Asia, helping organizations meet regulatory requirements and industry benchmarks.
Why ISO 19650?
Implementing ISO 19650 offers organizations a robust framework for managing information in asset development and operation.
Enhanced Collaboration
Reduced Project Risks
Regulatory Compliance
Optimized Asset Value
- Ensure Long-Term Sustainability
- Simplify Integration with Other Standards
Global Competitiveness
Implementation

What our clients say about us
The audit process conducted by BSI really made it clear how far we had to go to achieve certification. Luckily when Paavan and the team got involved, they made implementation an absolute pleasure and had the job done in a matter of weeks for us. Would certainly recommend.
As someone who never really took cybersecurity or compliance that seriously, it unfortunately took becoming a victim of malware for me to appreciate how important resilience is. Mindbridge Consulting made sure that it would never happen again and restored our reputation, always keeping our budget considerations in mind.
We had been an Elastic customer for years, but once we showed our setup to Dexter and the team they showed us how little we were utilising the tools. After a couple of weeks, we’ve been able to reduce our MTTR and even bring out a new observability product to market at no extra cost. Soon, we’ll certainly be looking into getting ISO certified and Mindbridge will be top of the list for that service.
I was really struggling to sort out all our data for an audit, and we actually ended up failing. We decided to outsource our data governance to Mindbridge Consulting and we couldn’t be happier. We have now passed the audit and are back on track to achieving our goal of ISO certification.
