The UK BIM Framework provides the fundamental step towards digital transformation of the UK’s built environment industry. The Framework is based on the ISO 19650 series, which first developed out of the UK’s former BIM Level 2, but incorporates and anticipates global and future digital perspectives.
The UK BIM Framework embraces and assists in the implementation of the standards for managing information for the whole life of assets of the built environment. The Framework anticipates the potential for integration across portfolios. The Framework provides extensive Guidance which continues to be developed, including the addition of supplementary tools and materials to enable a firm basis for the evolving National Digital Twin Programme.
This Guidance has been developed to help industry to implement the concepts and principles of the ISO 19650 series upon which the UK BIM Framework is based. It has been continually updated to keep track of the publication of the different parts of ISO 19650, and to reflect lessons learnt as further experience is gained in its implementation.
The key parts of ISO 19650 are now all in place, allowing us to realize information management throughout the whole life of built environment assets. It provides for traditional ways of working entailing exchange of information via files, but also caters for shifts towards data exchange. The key is being specific about what information is required and how it is to be delivered. This needs forethought around what should be the “end in mind” and consideration from an organizational, whole life perspective. This then informs the detailed requirements right down to appointment level.
The work behind developing this Guidance has been considerable. I would like to thank Sarah Davidson and David Churcher for their tireless commitment in continuing to bring this work together – I so enjoy working with you both. Secondly, I would like to thank the many authors who have contributed so generously to the writing of the Guidance – and been so patient in the criticisms and changes that have been required of them. Finally, I would like to thank the many people who have spared time to review and feedback on the Guidance – the Focus Groups in particular, but also those who have contacted us separately. Without this feedback we would not be able to incorporate the wide-ranging experience and testing which is occurring around the industry.
We welcome your continued feedback and shared experiences. You can provide this via [email protected].
