Building information models - Information delivery manual - Part 1: Methodology and format (ISO/DIS 29481-1:2024)

ISO 29481-1:2016 specifies
- a methodology that links the business processes undertaken during the construction of built facilities with the specification of information that is required by these processes, and
- a way to map and describe the information processes across the life cycle of construction works.
ISO 29481-1:2016 is intended to facilitate interoperability between software applications used during all stages of the life cycle of construction works, including briefing, design, documentation, construction, operation and maintenance, and demolition. It promotes digital collaboration between actors in the construction process and provides a basis for accurate, reliable, repeatable and high-quality information exchange.

Modèles des informations de la construction - Protocole d’échange d’informations - Partie 1: Méthodologie et format (ISO/DIS 29481-1:2024)

L'ISO 29481-1:2016 spécifie:
- une méthodologie qui relie les processus métier employés pendant la construction d'installations à la spécification des informations requises par ces processus; et
- un moyen de cartographier et de décrire les processus d'information sur tout le cycle de vie des travaux de construction.
L'ISO 29481-1:2016 est destinée à faciliter l'interopérabilité entre les applications logicielles utilisées à toutes les étapes du cycle de vie des travaux de construction, dont la préparation, la conception, la documentation, la construction, l'exploitation et la maintenance, ainsi que la déconstruction. Elle promeut la collaboration numérique entre les acteurs du processus de construction et donne une base pour un échange d'informations précis, fiable, répétable et de haute qualité.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
