Who it's for Universities and colleges
Give students a real project, not a list of acronyms
Plannerly is free for universities and colleges that teach BIM and ISO 19650. Students run a real project - requirements, BEP and MIDP, model checks and handover - with a guest lecture, a 4-5 hour assignment with marking criteria, free courses with certificates and a live Q&A.
Free for official universities and education programmes.
The problem
Why graduates know the acronyms but not the job
Your students' jobs, in order
What your students do, in the order they do it
Teach ISO 19650
You start here: register your course for free access, show the guest lecture, set the four-stage assignment and book a free class Q&A with our team.
You start hereSet the information requirements
Assignment stage 1: students define the EIR, trace each requirement back to the OIR and AIR, and stage it by milestone, instead of memorising the acronyms.
Assignment stage 1Write the BEP
Assignment stage 2: students write the BEP from a real ISO 19650 template, assign the sections, review each other's work and agree it.
Assignment stage 2Run the MIDP
Assignment stage 2: students build a real MIDP from each task team's TIDP, agree it, sign it and track it - working practice, not a diagram.
Assignment stage 2Agree the RACI
Students assign RACI roles to real tasks, find the gaps, agree a contract per team and see what each one delivered.
Going furtherScope LOD and LOIN at scale
Students set the level of detail and information for every element and milestone, and see why a spreadsheet can't keep up.
Going furtherCheck every model with IDS
Assignment stage 3: students check the example models against the requirements automatically and trace every missing property to its element.
Assignment stage 3Case studies
Educators who teach ISO 19650 by doing it
An MSc module that grew from an elective to a core module with every student certified, a national programme in Croatia that trained 1,000+ students without waiting for a mandate, and an architecture graduate who became a BIM coordinator.

How LSBU embedded Plannerly into their construction curriculum
London South Bank University · MSc education
Dr. Zulfikar Adamu integrated Plannerly certification into MSc coursework, achieving 100% student completion in 1-2 days. The module grew from an elective to a mandatory core across two programmes with 70+ students per cohort.
If every university that teaches construction introduces Plannerly, in three to four years you have an army of graduates who know how to implement ISO 19650 properly.

Scaling national BIM education
Croatia · National education initiative
Without waiting for a government mandate, built a national BIM education program using Plannerly as the central hub for templates, learning, and live project workflows.
We didn't wait for a mandate. We just started with education, templates, and real projects.

Ece Mülazımoğlu · Career story
Ece used Plannerly training to build practical confidence in Revit, ISO 19650, BIM Execution Plans, and information management workflows, turning an early architecture role into a clearer BIM and digital construction path.
At the end of that certification, I felt like I had some confidence in me to go for this path.

What educators say
Professors and students on learning ISO 19650 by doing it
5 out of 5
Many software companies get this wrong. They don't create content or videos. You can't ask me to bring your tool into my curriculum when there's nothing for students to learn from. Plannerly has all of that.
Dr. Zulfikar AdamuAssociate Professor · London South Bank University 5 out of 5
Students love Plannerly and it makes my life so much easier!
Petro KaranxhaProfessor · George Brown College 5 out of 5
Brilliant guide for how to set up and work with ISO 19650 standards. Can't wait to implement this.
Deepan VallaStudent · University of Pretoria 5 out of 5
Thanks to Plannerly's user-friendly interface, my students understand better the link between information requirements and the scope of a BIM Execution Plan. A great platform to collaborate between teams!
Danny MurguíaProfessor · Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú 5 out of 5
Brilliant! Universities are not providing real world training for industry tools, graduates are sorely lacking in knowledge ... Kudos to you Clive!!
Gary CowanHead of Digital Construction VDC/BIM · Kane Group 5 out of 5
There is some difficulty in synthesizing and defining all the parameters inherent to the implementation of a BIM methodology, and Plannerly allows you to do it in a simple and efficient way. I have made use of it in my professional life, but also in academic terms, presenting the program to the trainees, who in turn have also given excellent feedback!

It's a fantastic tool that has greatly improved our operations in Niqat Global and for all students. ... 1 year as a student and another one as an instructor and I'm really learning everyday a new skill because of you guys
Ahmed FekryNiqat Global 5 out of 5
...I have been an avid fan of Plannerly since the day I encountered it while I was studying in Zigurat (2022-23). The options in Plannerly are amazing, I like it a lot. It is a user-friendly tool. By using Plannerly, it will make my work easier & less time consuming.

How to survive as a BIM Manager
Surviving ISO 19650 Information Requirements with AI
Build it. Connect it. Just ask Javis. Most owners aren't sure what to ask for, and requirements copied from the last job create work nobody needs. Three ways into your project's information requirements - build on the Plannerly API, connect your own AI with Plannerly MCP, or just ask Javis - on one structure your supply chain can check against.
