ISO 19650-2:2018 Certification – Building Information Modelling (BIM) | Accredify Global

What is ISO 19650-2:2018 Certification?

ISO 19650 is an international standard for Building Information Modelling (BIM) that defines the organization, management, and digitalization of construction and engineering projects. It ensures efficient collaboration, cost reduction, and risk management throughout a building’s lifecycle.

ISO 19650 is based on UK’s BIM Level 2 standards and is widely adopted in the construction, infrastructure, and real estate industries.

With up to 20% cost savings achieved through effective BIM management, ISO 19650 is a must-have for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) companies aiming for global compliance and project efficiency.

Who Needs ISO 19650 Certification?

ISO 19650 certification is essential for organizations involved in:

  • ✔ Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms
  • ✔ Real estate developers & property managers
  • ✔ Infrastructure & civil engineering projects
  • ✔ Government agencies managing smart cities & public works
  • ✔ BIM consultants & digital construction specialists

Importance of ISO 19650 Certification

With over 60% of construction projects facing cost overruns due to poor coordination, ISO 19650 helps:

  • ✅ Reduce project delays by up to 30%
  • ✅ Enhance collaboration & efficiency in digital construction
  • ✅ Ensure compliance with global BIM regulations & contracts
  • ✅ Improve asset management & lifecycle cost savings

ISO 19650 and Its Major Aspects in Digital Construction

ISO 19650 provides a structured framework for managing digital building information, covering:

  • ✔ Information Management for Construction & Infrastructure Projects
  • ✔ Collaborative BIM Workflows & Digital Asset Management
  • ✔ Standardized Data Exchange & Interoperability
  • ✔ Risk Mitigation & Decision-Making through Digital Twin Technology
  • ✔ Compliance with Global BIM Standards (UK BIM Level 2, EU BIM Mandates, etc.)

The Principles of ISO 19650 Certification

ISO 19650 provides a structured framework for managing digital building information, covering:

  1. Information Standardization – Ensuring consistency in digital construction data
  2. Collaboration & Communication – Streamlining workflows across AEC teams
  3. Asset Lifecycle Management – Managing building information from design to operation
  4. Data Security & Access Control – Protecting digital project data from unauthorized access
  5. Efficiency & Cost Reduction – Optimizing resources through BIM automation

Checklist for ISO 19650 Certification

  • ✅ Establish a BIM Information Management System (BIMS)
  • ✅ Implement collaborative workflows & Common Data Environment (CDE)
  • ✅ Define roles & responsibilities in digital project management
  • ✅ Ensure data security, version control, and compliance with BIM protocols
  • ✅ Train staff on ISO 19650 best practices & BIM lifecycle management

Is ISO 19650 Certification Mandatory?

ISO 19650 is not legally required, but many governments and global clients mandate its adoption for:

  • ✔ Public infrastructure projects & smart cities (UK, EU, UAE, Singapore)
  • ✔ Government-funded construction contracts
  • ✔ BIM-integrated real estate developments

Without ISO 19650, companies may lose bids, face coordination challenges, and increase project risks.

Cost of ISO 19650 Certification

Certification costs depend on:

  • ✅ Company size & project complexity
  • ✅ Number of BIM-enabled projects & clients
  • ✅ Implementation readiness & training needs

On average, ISO 19650 certification costs range from $15,000 to $60,000, depending on business scope.
