Implementation roadmap

Phase 1 · ISO 19650-1 · §5, §11

Governance & roles

Set the BIM authority and the information management function before modeling. Define who leads, who produces and who approves, using ISO 19650 terminology (appointing party, lead appointed party, appointed parties).

Key roles

Appointing party (client)Lead appointed partyBIM / Information ManagerBIM CoordinatorDiscipline leads

Deliverables

RACI matrixBIM org chartAssigned information management function

Phase checklist 0 / 6

Appoint the appointing party and the lead appointed party (ISO 19650).

Name the information management function (BIM/Information Manager).

Define roles and responsibilities per discipline in a RACI matrix.

Agree the BIM scope and project objectives with leadership.

Establish the governance framework and information chain of command.

Define IP and confidentiality policy for the models.

Phase 2 · ISO 19650-1 · §5.1–5.2 · OIR/PIR/AIR/EIR

Information requirements

Translate business objectives into clear information requirements. From OIR and PIR/AIR you derive the EIR (Exchange Information Requirements): what information is needed, for which decision, in what format and by when.

Key roles

Appointing partyBIM ManagerInformation advisorEnd users / operations

Deliverables

OIRPIRAIREIRInformation needs plan

Phase checklist 0 / 6

Define the client OIR (organizational information requirements).

Define the PIR (project information requirements) per decision milestone.

Define the AIR (asset information requirements) for operation.

Draft the EIR with level of information need (LOIN) per exchange.

Define information delivery milestones and their decision triggers.

Specify formats, data structure and acceptance criteria.

Phase 3 · ISO 19650-2 · §5.3–5.4 · BEP

BEP & mobilization

The team answers the EIR with a BEP (BIM Execution Plan): pre-appointment to bid and post-appointment to deliver. Capability and capacity are assessed, and the MIDP/TIDP is built with owners and dates.

Key roles

Lead appointed partyBIM ManagerBIM CoordinatorDiscipline leads

Deliverables

Pre-appointment BEPPost-appointment BEPMIDPTIDPCapability assessment

Phase checklist 0 / 6

Produce the pre-appointment BEP as a response to the EIR.

Assess team capability and capacity (resources, software, skills).

Confirm the post-appointment BEP: methods, procedures and standards.

Build the project MIDP (Master Information Delivery Plan).

Build the TIDP (Task Information Delivery Plan) per discipline/task.

Define base LOD/LOIN and project modeling conventions.

Phase 4 · ISO 19650-1 · §12 · CDE

Common Data Environment

Set up the CDE as the single source of truth. Establish states WIP → Shared → Published → Archived, file naming and review/approval workflows with traceability.

Key roles

BIM ManagerBIM CoordinatorCDE administratorAll appointed parties

Deliverables

Configured CDENaming conventionApproval workflowPermissions matrix

Phase checklist 0 / 6

Select and configure the project CDE platform.

Define information states: WIP, Shared, Published, Archived.

Agree the naming convention for files and containers.

Configure the review, approval and authorization workflow (check/review/approve).

Define permissions, access roles and version traceability.

Establish status, revision and classification metadata (e.g. Uniclass).

Phase 5 · ISO 19650-2 · §5.5–5.6 · WIP

Model production (WIP)

Collaborative production of information in WIP state per the BEP standards, methods and procedures. Model to the agreed LOIN on shared coordinates with consistent data parameters.

Key roles

Discipline leadsBIM modelersBIM Coordinator

Deliverables

WIP models per disciplineShared coordinatesTemplates & parameters

Phase checklist 0 / 6

Set up templates, shared coordinates and project base point.

Model each discipline to the LOD/LOIN defined for each milestone.

Apply the data parameters and classification required by the EIR.

Keep models in WIP state within each team's CDE.

Run continuous self-check (audit, purge, warnings) per discipline.

Name and version information containers per the convention.

Phase 6 · ISO 19650-2 · §5.6 · QA/QC

Coordination & quality

Model federation and cross-model information control. Clash detection cycles, quality review (QA/QC) and approval before sharing. No model is coordinated unless it passes the minimum validations.

Key roles

BIM CoordinatorBIM ManagerDiscipline leads

Deliverables

Federated modelClash reportQA/QC reportCoordination minutes

Phase checklist 0 / 6

Federate the discipline models into the coordinated model.

Run clash detection cycles.

Document and assign issues with owner and due date (BCF).

Apply the QA/QC checklist before issuing to Shared/IFC state.

Verify coordinates, categories, duplicates, warnings and parameters.

Log coordination minutes and the approved version in the CDE.

Phase 7 · ISO 19650-2 · §5.7 · Delivery

Information delivery

Formal delivery of the Project Information Model (PIM) at the agreed milestones. It is reviewed and authorized against the EIR and MIDP; the state moves to Published / Approved for construction (AFC/AFD).

Key roles

Lead appointed partyAppointing partyBIM Manager

Deliverables

Delivered PIMAFC/AFD documentationAcceptance record

Phase checklist 0 / 6

Compile the PIM delivery per the MIDP milestones.

Review information against the EIR and acceptance criteria.

Authorize publication (Published / AFC / AFD state).

Record the appointing party acceptance in the CDE.

Issue the coordinated derived documentation (drawings, IFC, PDF, DWG).

Archive the delivered version with full traceability.

Phase 8 · ISO 19650-3 · Operación

As-built & operation

Project close-out and transition to operation. The as-built PIM feeds the Asset Information Model (AIM) per the AIR, enabling management and maintenance during the operational phase (ISO 19650-3).

Key roles

Appointing party / operatorBIM ManagerFacility Manager

Deliverables

As-built modelAIMAsset data & manualsProject close-out

Phase checklist 0 / 6

Update models to as-built state with actual site information.

Verify the as-built meets the AIR defined for operation.

Transfer information into the Asset Information Model (AIM).

Hand over structured asset data, manuals and warranties.

Archive the project and close the delivery-phase CDE.

Formalize close-out and project lessons learned.
