ISO 19650: The Key to Effective Building Management
In modern construction, information management has become a key factor in ensuring quality, reducing costs, and increasing productivity. ISO 19650, an international standard for information management in construction through Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies, brings revolutionary planning , implementation and construction project management. Its implementation influenced all participants in the life cycle of a facility – from investors and designers to contractors and asset managers.
What is ISO 19650?
ISO 19650 is a set of international standards that define a framework for information management in construction projects and operational management of buildings. This standard comes from the British standards BS 1192 and PAS 1192-2, extending their principles globally. Its goal is to harmonize the BIM methodologies in order to enable better collaboration, transparency, and efficiency in construction projects.
ISO 19650 is divided into several parts:
- ISO 19650-1: Basic concepts and principles of information management
- ISO 19650-2: Information management during design and construction
- ISO 19650-3: Information management during facility use
- ISO 19650-4: Models for exchanging information between project participants
- ISO 19650-5: Security aspect and data protection
- ISO 19650-6: Health and safety on the construction site
- ISO 19650-7: Information management during the process of reconstruction (or destruction) of a building
Benefits of ISO 19650 for investors:
For investors, ISO 19650 is a powerful tool for managing risks and maximizing return on investment:
- Increased transparency and control: Clearly defined information requirements reduce the possibility of misunderstanding and ensure better project control
- Cost reduction: Optimized coordination and collaboration reduce the need for changes in the later stages of a project, thereby reducing unexpected costs
- Increased facility value: Quality information management allows better planning and design, resulting in longer-lasting and more efficient facilities
- Simplified asset management: Digital documentation provides easier access to information, increasing the efficiency of facility management.
Benefits of ISO 19650 for contractors
ISO 19650 offers contractors a number of benefits that improve the efficiency and quality of work:
- Better coordination and communication: The standardized flow of information reduces misunderstanding among project participants.
- Risk reduction: Clearly defined information requirements allow better resource planning and minimize the risks of delays and additional costs.
- Increased productivity: Process digitization and BIM enable more precise and efficient work.
- Improved quality of work: Detailed planning and monitoring of all phases ensures a better quality of the performed work.
The digital twin concept enables efficient management of an object throughout its entire life cycle. BIM technology enables the creation of its virtual model, which facilitates monitoring and maintenance, optimizes energy consumption and reduces operating costs. The availability of accurate data simplifies future renovations and reconstructions, ensuring more efficient facility management.
ISO 19650 is not just a standard – it presents basis for building a more resilient and efficient construction sector. Its application ensures transparency, reduces risks and optimizes resource management, providing long-term value to all participants.
