Information Management with BIM

Information management in construction is a decisive cost and time factor. If the transmission and management of information does not function optimally, this results in considerable material and other losses. In its soon to be six parts, the standard DIN EN ISO 19650 - the German version being the German answer to the English PAS 1192 - offers a basic framework for the design of information management in construction. It contains the specifications and tasks that should enable successful information management and covers all life cycles of the building.

This book is intended as a guide and working aid for the practical implementation of DIN EN ISO 19650. It illustrates the concrete application of the standard and gives examples of compliance with the requirements. Expert tips and practical knowledge make this book a valuable aid when dealing with DIN EN ISO 19650.

In this book:

• Information and data
• Recommendations, information and practical advice
• Management, exchange, recording and archiving of information
• Analysis and recommendations
• Exercises and DIN Mediathek content

Working with DIN EN ISO 19650

BIM is the building principle of the present and the future. In order to be able to apply BIM optimally, specific knowledge is required, which in some cases also includes country-specific features. This commentary explains the contents of DIN EN ISO 19650 at national German level and thus ensures comprehensive understanding.

The commentary quotes the German text of the original standard in gray and adds explanatory notes, useful information and more. In addition to a thorough introduction to the meaning and development of the standard, you can expect the following from "Information management with BIM - Commentary on DIN EN ISO 19650":

• Clear definitions
  The commentary explains the terms used in the standard, with comments on translation difficulties, and expands these to include additional relevant terms and definitions.
• Extensive commentaries to each section of the standard
  The authors deal in detail with all the contents of the standard and add German national particularities, useful background information and clear interpretations.
