ISO 19650 is the prominent global standard for the implementation of BIM, focusing on the collaborative process integral to the entire life cycle of constructed assets. Developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard serves as a comprehensive framework for managing information from the conception of a project, through construction and operation to its eventual decommissioning. The development and publication of ISO 19650 highlights the commitment of international standards bodies to creating a consistent and efficient approach to BIM implementation on a global scale.
ISO 19650 is a multi-part standard. Part 1 delineates fundamental concepts and principles, while Part 2 provides practical guidance for information management throughout the project life cycle. The scalability of ISO 19650 allows organizations to tailor its application to the specific needs and intricacies of their projects. As an internationally recognized standard, ISO 19650 reflects the collaborative efforts of standards bodies to enhance global construction industry practices. Throughout this process, transparency, collaboration, and consensus-building are key principles. ISO standards, including ISO 19650, are developed with input from experts and stakeholders worldwide to ensure that they reflect a global consensus on best practices.
A country might choose to adopt ISO 19650 for several reasons, all of which contribute to the standard’s potential benefits in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of construction and infrastructure projects. Some of the reasons why a country might decide to adopt ISO 19650:
- Global standardisation of processes
- Support interoperability and collaboration
- Consider a quality assured approach to information management
- Competitive advantage and potential for cross boarder trade
- Improved project delivery outcomes
In summary, the adoption of ISO 19650 by a country can bring about international alignment, improved collaboration, risk reduction, and enhanced competitiveness in the construction industry, ultimately contributing to more successful and sustainable infrastructure development. Countries will usually adopt ISO 19650 by publishing a national annex to the standard.
The appendicies to the New Zealand BIM Handbook have been published by the BIM acceleration committee (BAC) and were created to promote the use of BIM and it’s benefits to create, maintain and operate quality built assest in New Zealand. These appendices explain and give examples of some of the different BIM elements which can be applied to projects. These appendices contain guidance as well as templates which can be used as a resource on projects, to facilitate early BIM adoption.
This schedule, in the form of an appendix example, assigns responsibilities to model elements via an author (MEA) and defines Level of Development (LOD) for those model elements across project stages. Model elements ownership can be transferred between participating parties, but should be clearly defined in the table within this example. This MEA schedule is a starting point for a project and the selection of elements in the schedule. It should reflect individual project requirements and be agreed by participating parties. This resource is the template which is available in Word format, the example file is also available on the Information collection.

Successful model coordination relies on different BIM disciplines understanding their roles and modelling only what they are responsible for, according to the Model Elements Authoring (MEA) schedule. Coordination is much more than just clash detection – the key to successful coordination is to identify and prioritise issues, assign relevant project stakeholders to address them, and track the issues until they are resolved. This document helps projects to look at the project coordination and its tolerances as well as the priority for various types of clashes which may be encountered in the model coordination process.

A Model Description Document (MDD) is a document issued with a model describing what it contains and identifying limitations of use. Exchanging models is the very basis of the BIM process. All users need to understand the level to which they can rely on the models they receive. Models can contain far more information than traditional electronic deliverables. The issuer of a model must clearly define what it can be used for and make information available for others to use during the development of the project. This resource is the example, the Word format template file is also available on the Information collection.

This appendix document identifies goals, uses, objectives, and responsibilities with regard to BIM. The project BIM brief should be developed in the project establishment phase to be fully effective. It is a briefing document in its own right and could form part of a Request For Proposal (RFP). The BIM evaluation and response template should accompany this brief to provide a consistent set of questions for suppliers. After this phase, the BIM execution plan provides the framework for management and operational functions of BIM throughout the projectÂ’s life cycle. The project BIM brief should be developed with reference to the New Zealand BIM handbook and client information strategy and operations requirements. The briefing document should be used at pre-appointment stages when procuring a delivery team. This resource is the example, the Word format template file is also available on the Information collection.

The intent of the BIM execution plan is to provide an outline that will ensure all parties involved are clearly aware of the opportunities and responsibilities associated with projects that implement BIM. The plan defines why you are using BIM on the project. It sets goals, objectives, and responsibilities, and outlines how the process will be executed through the project life cycle. The BIM execution plan is a living document and should be developed and refined throughout the project life cycle to ensure the project remains on schedule and meets the briefed requirements. This BEP template can be used as a framework for the development of a BEP for specific construction project/s. The BIM execution plan should be developed with reference to the New Zealand BIM handbook. This resource is the example, the Word format template file is also available on the Information collection.
