2.3. ISO 19650 Part 2: ‘Delivery phase of the assets’

ISO 19650 - Part 2 explains a set of processes for information delivery in the cycle of design, construction and handover including
those relating to tasks, roles and responsibilities, as well as the identification and assignment of accountable parties for each activity
and task.

Figure 4 sets out the crucial elements for managing a process of information delivery. It includes:

• information process to communicate or to share information

or contractor). Information flows from C to B, rather than C to C, and then B to A, or B to B, depending on the contract. 17
