Building Information Modelling - Level of Information Need - Part 1: Concepts and principles
This document specifies concepts and principles to establish a methodology for specifying level of information need and information deliveries in a consistent way when using Building Information Modelling (BIM).
This document specifies the characteristics of different levels used for defining the detail and extent of information required to be exchanged and delivered throughout the life cycle of built assets. It gives guidelines for principles required to specify information needs.
The concepts and principles in this document can be applied for a general information exchange and whilst in progress, for a generally agreed way of information exchange between parties in a collaborative work process, as well as for a contractually specified information delivery.
The level of information need provides methods for describing information to be exchanged according to exchange information requirements. The exchange information requirements specify the wanted information exchange. The result of this process is an information delivery.
The concepts and principles contained in this document are applicable to all those involved in the asset life cycle. This includes, but is not limited to, the asset owner/operator, the project client, the asset manager, the design team, the construction supply chain, the equipment manufacturer, the system specialist, the regulator, and the end-user.
Bauwerksinformationsmodellierung - Informationsbedarfstiefe - Teil 1: Konzepte und Grundsätze
Dieses Dokument legt Konzepte und Grundsätze fest, um eine Methodik für die Festlegung der Informationsbedarfstiefe und von Informationsbereitstellungen für die Anwendung von Building Information Modeling (BIM) in einer konsistenten Weise aufzustellen.
Dieses Dokument legt die Ausprägung verschiedener Stufen fest, die bei der Definition der Detaillierung und des Umfangs von Informationen angewendet werden, die über den gesamten Lebenszyklus von Bauwerken ausgetauscht und geliefert werden müssen. Es gibt Leitlinien für Grundsätze, die für die Festlegung des Informationsbedarfs erforderlich sind.
Die Konzepte und Grundsätze in diesem Dokument können für den allgemeinen Informationsaustausch angewendet werden und sorgen für eine im Allgemeinen vereinbarte Weise des Informationsaustauschs zwischen den Parteien in einem kollaborativen Arbeitsprozess sowie für eine vertraglich festgelegte Informationsbereitstellung.
Die Informationsbedarfstiefe bietet Methoden, um die auszutauschenden Informationen in Übereinstimmung mit den Austausch-Informationsanforderungen zu beschreiben. Die Austausch-Informationsanforderungen legen den gewünschten Informationsaustausch fest. Das Ergebnis dieses Prozesses ist eine Informationsbereitstellung.
Dieses Dokument gilt während des gesamten Lebenszyklus eines Gebäudes, einschließlich der strategischen Planung, des Erstentwurfs, der Ingenieurtechnik, der Entwicklung, der Dokumentation und der Konstruktion, des Betriebs im Alltag, der Instandhaltung, der Modernisierung, der Instandsetzung und des Lebensdauerendes.
Modélisation des Informations pour la Construction (BIM) - Niveau d’Information Requis - Concepts et Principes
Le présent document spécifie les concepts et les principes permettant d’établir une méthodologie de spécification cohérente du niveau du besoin d’information et des livraisons d’information à l’aide de la modélisation des informations de la construction (BIM).
Le présent document spécifie les caractéristiques des différents niveaux utilisés pour définir le détail et l’étendue des informations qu’il est nécessaire d’échanger et de livrer tout au long du cycle de vie des actifs bâtis. Il donne des lignes directrices sur les principes requis pour spécifier les besoins d’information.
Les concepts et les principes énoncés dans le présent document peuvent s’appliquer à un échange général d’informations et, dans le même temps, à un mode communément accepté d’échange d’informations entre des parties dans le cadre d’un processus de travail collaboratif, ainsi qu’à une désignation accompagnée d’une livraison d’informations spécifiée.
Le niveau du besoin d’information fournit des méthodes pour décrire les informations à échanger conformément aux exigences d’échange d’informations. Les exigences d’échange d’informations spécifient l’échange d’informations souhaité. Le résultat de ce processus est une livraison d’informations.
Le présent document s’applique à la totalité du cycle de vie d’un actif bâti, y compris la planification stratégique, la conception initiale, l’ingénierie, le développement, la documentation et la construction, l’exploitation quotidienne, la maintenance, la réhabilitation, la réparation et la fin de vie.

Introduction
This document sets out the concepts and principles for defining the level of information need and
information deliveries being part of the information exchange processes during the life cycle of built
assets when using building information modelling (BIM). Those concepts and principles can deliver
clear benefits to all participants in the various life cycle phases of built assets as they provide a common
understanding on the right level of information needed at a certain time. One purpose of defining the
level of information need is to prevent delivery of too much information. Information exchange should
ensure the right information to be delivered for the agreed purpose to facilitate verification and
validation processes.
This document provides methods for describing information to be exchanged according to exchange
information requirements. The exchange information requirements specify the wanted information
exchange. The result of this process is an information delivery.
There is a need that these concepts and principles are described in a common and comparable way to
allow services related to building information modelling to be procured and offered on a European
scale. The need has arisen by the fact that there are several conflicting terms, concepts and usages in
place, both internationally and across Europe, that hinder the objective of having a common
understanding and practise in describing the level of information need for a common European market.
It is therefore helpful not to use an acronym to refer to level of information need as this can
oversimplify these concepts.
The concepts and principles contained in this document are aimed at all those involved in the asset life
cycle. This includes, but is not limited to, the asset owner/operator, the client, the asset manager, the
design team, the construction team, an equipment manufacturer, a technical specialist, a regulatory
authority, an investor, an insurer and an end-user.
The information exchange, as well as related topics such as the exchange information requirements and
the information delivery are defined and explained in context of two related standards:
EN ISO 19650-1, Organization and digitization of information about buildings and civil engineering
works, including building information modelling (BIM) — Information management using building
information modelling — Part 1: Concepts and principles; and
EN ISO 29481-1, Building information models — Information delivery manual — Part 1: Methodology and
format.
1 Scope
This document specifies concepts and principles to establish a methodology for specifying level of
information need and information deliveries in a consistent way when using building information
modelling (BIM).
This document specifies the characteristics of different levels used for defining the detail and extent of
information required to be exchanged and delivered throughout the life cycle of built assets. It gives
guidelines for principles required to specify information needs.
The concepts and principles in this document can be applied for a general information exchange and
whilst in progress, for a generally agreed way of information exchange between parties in a
collaborative work process, as well as for an appointment with specified information delivery.
The level of information need provides methods for describing information to be exchanged according
to exchange information requirements. The exchange information requirements specify the wanted
information exchange. The result of this process is an information delivery.
This document is applicable to the whole life cycle of any built asset, including strategic planning, initial
design, engineering, development, documentation and construction, day-to-day operation, maintenance,
refurbishment, repair and end-of-life.
