𝗜𝗦𝗢 𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟱𝟬: 𝗔 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗜𝗠 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮

India’s construction industry is undergoing rapid digital transformation with smart cities, mega infrastructure, and complex commercial projects. To manage these efficiently, ISO 19650 is becoming a crucial framework for Building Information Modeling (BIM).

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝗦𝗢 𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟱𝟬?

ISO 19650 is a global standard for managing project information across the lifecycle of a building — from design and construction to operation and maintenance.... It brings:

• Clear roles and responsibilities

•  Standardized workflows for data exchange

• A Common Data Environment (CDE) for collaboration

• Structured information like EIR and BEP

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮

• Global Competitiveness: Aligns Indian BIM firms with international practices, boosting trust.

•   Efficiency Gains: Reduces errors, rework, and project delays.

• Supports Smart Cities: Ensures data remains useful for digital twins and operations.

•  Client Confidence: Positions firms as quality-driven partners, not just low-cost vendors.

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀

•  Low awareness and limited ISO-trained professionals

•  Investment needed in CDE platforms and training

• Lack of localized templates for contracts and workflows

•  Resistance to change from traditional practices

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽

• Start Small: Focus on Parts 1 & 2 for design and construction.

• Create Templates: Develop India-specific EIR and BEP formats.

• Adopt CDE Tools: Use platforms like Autodesk Construction Cloud or Trimble Connect.

• Pilot Project: Apply the framework on a smaller project.

• Scale Gradually: Expand to Part 3 (operations) and Part 5 (security).
