Information Delivery Planning (Copy)

Following the mobilization stage explained in the previous sections, the lead appointed party, together with any other parties appointed, will begin the information production process though collaboration. This section is split into 6 steps:

Check availability of reference information and shared resources

All task teams are required to check access to CDE and relevant pre-shared resources and information. These can include templates, libraries, common coordinates, and information related to existing assets that are involved in this appointment. In a situation where appointed or third parties have no access to these, it is the lead appointed party`s responsibility to ensure CDE and resource access.

For more information, please see under clause 5.6.1 of I.S. EN ISO 19650-3

Generate information.

This step involves the information generation by all task teams. The information needs to be generated in line with the BIM execution plan document and should align with TIDP/MIDP registers.

All information produced by the delivery team should be managed and exchanged through CDE.

Typical issues arising during the information generation stage can be resolved within a specific Task Team (i.e. Mechanical contractor. In the case were a potential solution involves other teams, coordination meetings should be established, and a solution agreed within the delivery team.

There are a number of additional considerations related to information production under clause 5.6.2 of I.S. EN ISO 19650-3.

Undertake quality assurance check.

Quality assurance checks – it is the requirement of all task team to quality check all information that is being produced according to asset information production methods and procedures (outlined in EIR and/or BIM execution plan documents).

Once the check is complete, the task team shall:

a) if the check is successful:

• mark the information container as checked,

• record the outcome of the check; or

b) if the check is unsuccessful:

• reject the information container, and

• inform the information author of the outcome and corrective action required.

Some quality checks related to information can be integrated within authoring tools or CDE platforms; the latter can be defined by the lead appointed party for all stakeholders to follow at any stage of the appointment.

Additional information can be found under clause 5.6.3 of I.S. EN ISO 19650-3.

Review information and approve for sharing.

Before information can be shared with other teams, task teams need to ensure that the produced information is correct, has the appropriate level of information need, and is aligned with EIR and BIM execution plan requirements.

If the outcome of the review is positive, task teams shall:

• assign the status code to indicate the permitted uses (suitability) of the information in the information container,

• approve the information container for sharing; and

• mark the information container as being in the shared state; or

If not:

• record why the review was unsuccessful,

• record any amendments for the task team to complete, and

• reject the information container.

For more consideration, please see clause 5.6.4 of I.S. EN ISO 19650-3.

Review information model.

At this stage the delivery team following collaborative production of information model will review its contents. This step should be aligned with EIR requirements and the project’s information production methods and procedures.

For more considerations, please see clause 4.6.5 of I.S. EN ISO 19650-3.

Authorize information model for delivery to the appointing party

Once the review is deemed successful by the delivery team, the lead appointed party will authorize releasing of the information model to the appointing party.

If outcome of the review is positive, the lead appointed party shall:

• assign the status code to indicate the permitted uses (suitability) of the information in the information container,

• approve the information container for sharing; and

• mark the information container as being in the shared state; or

If not:

• record why the review was unsuccessful,

• record any amendments for the task team to complete, and

• reject the information container.
