Getting to grips with these terms is crucial .<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Appointing Party:<\/strong> That&#8217;s the client or asset owner &#8211; the one who decides what information they need &amp; picks the suppliers to provide it .<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Lead Appointed Party:<\/strong> Usually the main designer or lead contractor. Theyre responsible for making sure all the info gets to the appointing party on time .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Appointed Parties:<\/strong> Think of these as the non-lead designers, sub-contractors and manufacturers &#8211; they all chip in with their bit of information as part of the team .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Common Data Environment (CDE):<\/strong> This is what youd call the agreed source of information for a project. Essentially its the place where all the info gets collected, stored and shared .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information Containers:<\/strong> These are the bits of information like drawings, specifications or 3d models. ISO 19650 recommends a naming system so you can keep everything tidy &#8211; heres an example: <code>7001-BBH-XX-00-DR-A-0001<\/code> for instance .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information Requirements:<\/strong> These are the things you need to know . These include<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>OIR (Organizational Info Requirements):<\/strong> This is what the organisation needs to move their goals forward.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AIR (Asset Information Requirements):<\/strong> This is what you need to get the asset up &amp; running smoothly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>PIR (Project Info Requirements):<\/strong> These are specifically for each project.<\/li>\n<li><strong>EIR (Exchange Information Requirements):<\/strong> This is what you need to get the ball rolling with a new supplier or contract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>BIM Execution Plan (BEP):<\/strong> This is the plan that explains how theyre going to manage the information on a project &#8211; what they need to do &amp; when .<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

management process unfolds step by step :<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Getting Started:<\/strong> The appointing party figures out what info they need and how well theyre set up to handle it .<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inviting Tenders:<\/strong> The appointing party sends out the EIR (Exchange Information Requirements) to any potential suppliers<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tender Response:<\/strong> The bidders send back their proposed plans for managing the information along with showing they can actually deliver the goods .<\/li>\n<li><strong>Picking Suppliers:<\/strong> The appointing party chooses the suppliers they want to work with<\/li>\n<li><strong>Getting Up &amp; Running:<\/strong> The team gets mobilized , finalises the BEP &amp; sets up the CDE<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building the Picture:<\/strong> The team starts churning out information as agreed with the rules and procedures in place .<\/li>\n<li><strong>Handing Over Info:<\/strong> Info is handed over in stages as agreed<\/li>\n<li><strong>Winding Down the Project:<\/strong> Final checks get done, validation happens &amp; its handed over for the operational phase<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The 2026 update to ISO 19650-2
