This document outlines the concepts and principles for information management at a stage of maturity described as building information modelling (BIM) according to ISO 19650 . This document provides recommendations for a framework to manage information including exchanging, recording, versioning and organizing for all actors. This document is applicable to the whole life cycle of a built asset, including strategic planning, initial design, engineering, development, documentation and construction, day-to-day operation, maintenance, refurbishment, repair and end-of-life. However, regarding the large scale of types of assets and sizes of organizations to which this document is applicable, the recommendations of this standard should not hamper flexibility and versatility that characterize the large range of potential procurement strategies. Therefore, the concepts and principles explained in this document should be adapted to the scale and complexity of the asset or project, in order to address the cost of implementing this standard.
