ISO 19650 is a series of international standards providing guidance for managing information throughout the lifecycle of buildings and other construction projects using Building Information Modelling (BIM). These standards form a core part of the UK BIM Framework.

Learning about ISO 19650 equips construction professionals with standardised processes for effective information management using BIM. Adhering to ISO 19650 improves project delivery, reduces errors, enhances decision-making, and ultimately contributes to cost savings and higher-quality built assets.

Developed by BRE’s team of BIM experts, this ISO 19650 training course provides an overview of the standards and enables learners to implement BIM and information management processes within their organisation.

This course focuses on Parts 1 and 2 of ISO 19650:

  • ISO 19650-1 Concepts and Principles – Establishes fundamental principles and terminology for managing digital information using BIM throughout a project lifecycle. Defines roles, responsibilities, and workflows to ensure consistency and data quality across all project stages.
  • ISO 19650-2 Delivery Phase of the Assets – Covers on requirements and recommendations for exchanging information during design, construction, and handover stages. Addresses protocols for sharing, storing, and updating digital information in collaborative environments to improve communication and efficiency among project stakeholders.

After completing the course learners will be able to:

  • Understand the history of BIM, previous standards, and drivers behind the latest ISO 19650 information management mandate.
  • Grasp high-level concepts and principles of ISO 19650 including legal, security and health and safety requirements
  • Articulate information management processes using BIM terminology
    Explain the value of information management using BIM in project delivery
  • Understand information procurement, planning, and production processes
    Confidently outline the key elements of the ISO 19650-2 process for project delivery
  • Understand how information requirements are identified, communicated, and shared between organisations
  • Adopt ISO 19650-compliant information management processes within an organisation
  • Discuss international standards related to open BIM and interoperability

Continuing studies

The ISO 19650 1&2 Project Delivery course forms part of the learning pathway towards BRE Global BIM Certification. Achieving certification demonstrates your information management and BIM expertise, and instills confidence among employers and customers. Once you have completed this course, take a look at the ISO 19650 Delivering Information Management in Practice course, which forms the second step of the certification learning pathway.
