2.2. ISO 19650 ‘Part 1: concepts and principles’

Part 1 of ISO 19650 refers to the ‘concepts and principles’ needed to develop BIM processes in a contract.

2.2.1. ISO 19650 in the life cycle

Figure 1 shows the general information
management life cycle for operational
assets and project delivery, and the rela-
tionship between these two distinct parts
of the asset life cycle, within ISO standards
9001 (quality management) and 19650.
The Figure shows ‘A’, the start of the delivery
phase which, in an asset life cycle, refers to
the asset information model requirements’
impact on the design, construction and
commissioning of that asset. It also shows
‘B’ as the phase with progressive devel-
opment of the design intent model into a
virtual construction model, as part of a ‘dig-
ital twin’ – the digital replica of the physical
system. ‘C’ shows that handover is a bridge
between the construction process and the
operational phase.
