Digital construction and information management workflow. Part 2 – Information requirements

The construction industry's sudden increase in digitalisation necessitates a rapid transformation of traditional processes; thus, the development of executable practical guidance is critical. With the emergence and publication of a large number of Building Information Modeling (BIM) standards in recent months, a large suite of international guidance documents supplementing the ISO 19650 framework has been developed to explain concepts and principles for digitisation, classification and organisation of information, and digital processes used in the construction industry. A comparison of these standards and guidance documents reveals ideas that are repeated or introduce uncertainty. This paper assesses appointment information needs and process dependencies. Based on the ISO 19650 framework, this paper provides practical guidance for asset owners and all parties involved in the delivery or operation of an asset.
