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).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 59, Buildings and civil engineering works,
Subcommittee SC 2, Terminology and harmonization of languages.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 6707-2:2014), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the document has been substantially restructured;
— specific subclauses for information and data, communication and collaborative working, and
measurement related to contracts have been introduced;
— all definitions have been reviewed and revised where appropriate;
— the entries have been renumbered so that all definitions are contained within Clause 3;
— the indicator of national terms, e.g. US, has been moved from before to after the term;
— entries relevant to this document, which were previously in ISO 6707-1, have been relocated into
this document.

ISO 6707-2:2017(E)
Introduction
With the growth in the number of international construction projects and the development of the
international market for construction products, there is an increasing need for agreement on a common
language in relation to communications and contracts. This document defines terms relating to
buildings and civil engineering works in two specific areas:
— communication systems, methods and documentation;
— contracts.
It includes
— fundamental concepts, which may be the starting point for other, more specific, definitions,
— more specific concepts, used in several areas of communications and contracts such as project
information, financial information, and
— concepts from related concept fields used additionally in building and civil engineering and
designated by borrowed terms.
It replaces ISO 6707-2:2014 which dealt only with contract terms. It will make the communication of all
types of information and data between contractors and clients and their design teams easier, as well as
the drafting and interpretation of contracts.
The change in scope will make the document more useful to organizations of all sizes and be a
complement to the terminology that is evolving for Building Information Modelling (BIM).
Terms relating to life cycle are contained in ISO 6707-3. Only “life-cycle cost” is included in this
document.
Preferred and admitted terms
International preferred terms are listed in boldface type. Where a preferred term is specific to
a particular English-speaking country, e.g. the United States of America, etc., it is given below the
international preferred term and is annotated with the respective country code. Where no preferred
terms are listed indicating usage in a specific geographical location, this signifies that the international
preferred term is the accepted term in English-speaking countries. A term beneath the preferred term(s)
not given in boldface type is an admitted (non-preferred) synonym. A country code is assigned to an
admitted term if it is specific to an English-speaking country. US synonyms and alternative spellings
are listed in Annex A so they may be readily compared with international preferred terms.
Where a given preferred term designates more than one concept, each concept has been treated in
a separate entry and a note to entry included to indicate that a homograph exists and to provide a
reference to the other term entry.
To facilitate the locating of any term given in the document, irrespective of preference or country of
origin, the alphabetical index lists all preferred and admitted terms.
