Page 10 - BIM and ISO 19650 from a project management perspective

1.2. Aims of publication

The publication addresses the new ISO 19650 standards and their relevance to con-
sulting engineers. It describes the beneficial outcomes of using them within the BIM
approach, and from a project management perspective. It highlights the benefits of
lowering risk and reducing financial losses which are possible where reliable project
information is available in a structured, re-usable form and where it is efficiently shared.
It illustrates how, by managing the ownership and liability of project data, project man-
agers can stay in control during the whole lifecycle of assets, including operations and
maintenance, experiencing less contradiction or misinterpretation of data.
It supports Part 1 and Part 2 of ISO 19650 which relate to concepts and principles. ISO
will publish guidance to support Part 2 which explains these concepts for the delivery
phase.
