Information Management and BIM Standards and Supports Inventory

Digital standards provide a common language that can be translated to technical specifications enabling clients, designers, contractors, and facilities managers, irrespective of their preferred tools, to communicate efficiently and reduce cost, rework, and disputes. This inventory was developed as a tool for identifying relevant standards and, in particular, their relevance to Build Digital. Each document found in this research was recorded, reviewed, and graded based on the scoring system created for this report and tool. This tool is intended to be flexible should new standards be published, or a change is required to an existing standard. 

Presently there are in excess of 120 entries on the inventory. The database is searchable under the following categories:

• Type

• Source

• Code

• Year

• Title

Please note that this inventory is a dynamic database which was compiled in December 2022 and will continue to be updated at regular intervals. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, however, errors & omissions excepted.
