Developing out of the UK BIM Level 2 standards and requirements, ISO 19650 provides a series of international standards which identifies many of the processes, requirements and responses required to deliver BIM as information management. But Information Management cannot exist
as a silo and must be consistent with the existing and developing standards and processes requiring efficiencies in delivery for the AEC industry. This course helps delegates in understanding the key concepts and principles in adopting an ISO 19650 approach to information management, as well as the importance of identifying key functions, their roles and responsibilities.

Developed by world leading experts in BIM as Building Information Management involved in both the development of the UK and International learning outcomes frameworks, this courses is intended not just to provide a page turner on the ISO 19650 standards themselves, but practical knowledge of the information management framework to improve your project delivery.

The ISO 19650 Principles of Building Information Management course is the second step towards understanding the BIM requirements as identified in the international standard ISO 19650. This course provides a general overview of Building Information Management, the needs and benefits as well as providing an overview of the key terminology and concepts. It then introduces the key concepts which are developed further in the second Delivering Information Management course.
