Feature Due to political, social, technological and environmental requirements, building designs are becoming more complex. Consequently, the need to change how construction is managed, delivered and operated also has to evolve. CONSTRUCTION’S DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION 24 www.thefis.org O ver the years, the construction industry has been moving away from the traditional ways of working and towards a digital future for information management. After all, project designs or redesigns should take place on a computer screen, not on the construction site. The ISO 19650 standard is an international standard for managing information over the whole lifecycle of a built asset using building information modelling (BIM). It contains all the same principles and high-level requirements as UK BIM Framework and is closely aligned with the current UK 1192 standards. There is increasing demand among principal contractors and architects for BS EN ISO 19650 certification and the perceptions around BIM are changing.
