The problem

Why owners end up paying for models they can't use

Sound familiar?

You asked for everything, so nobody delivered what you needed

The EIR gets copied from the last job because nobody is sure what to ask for. Each supplier answers in its own spreadsheet, nobody checks the models until handover, and when data is missing nobody can say who owed it. The jobs below fix that, in order.

Your jobs, in order

The ISO 19650 jobs an owner meets, in the order you meet them

Set the information requirements

Requirements copied from the last job ask for everything and explain nothing. Write your OIR, AIR and EIR as one list, staged by milestone, that every model is checked against.

Step 1Episode 3

Scope LOD and LOIN at scale

A LOD matrix nobody reads gets you models nobody can use. Say what you need for each element at each stage once, then reuse it on every project and with every supplier.

Step 2

Write the BEP

Bidders' BEPs arrive in formats you can't compare. Have each bidder answer your requirements in one ISO 19650 structure, and keep the winning team's BEP live after appointment.

Step 3

Run the MIDP

Stop waiting for someone to re-issue the delivery spreadsheet. Every appointed party's plan rolls up into one MIDP you can open any day: each deliverable named, owned and dated.

Step 4Episode 1

Agree the RACI

When a deliverable goes missing, know which company was accountable and that it agreed. Each appointed party signs a contract with only its own work in it.

Step 5Episode 2

Connect your CDE

See what's been delivered without asking. Appointed parties keep working in their own Autodesk hub, and files they share that match your plan's requests fill them.

Step 6Episode 4

Check every model with IDS

Accept only the models that carry the data you asked for. Hand every supplier your requirements as an IDS file, and see each model checked automatically, element by element.

Step 7

Make it your company standard

Write your requirements once for the whole portfolio. Keep your OIR, AIR and EIR as templates, and start every new project from them with its own details filled in.

Step 8

Case studies

Owners who stopped finding the gaps at handover

A government agency that replaced 11,000 Excel rows with automated checks and cut model validation time by 95%, a transport department that checks its supply chain's model data against its requirements, and a $130M project whose process started cross-company conversations months before they'd have caused problems.

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.

Questions

ISO 19650 for owners: your questions, answered

What does ISO 19650 ask of an owner or client?
Under ISO 19650 the owner or client is the appointing party. You say what information you need and why (the OIR, AIR and PIR), turn it into exchange information requirements (EIR) for each appointment, assess the tenders, and accept or reject the information delivered against what you asked for. You don't write the delivery team's BEP or MIDP, but you should see both agreed and track delivery against them. What is an appointing party?, the free lesson on ISO 19650 roles and responsibilities and ISO 19650-2 itself.
How do I write an EIR my supply chain can actually meet?
Start from the purpose, not the last job's document. Trace each requirement back to a decision you'll make or an asset you'll run, stage it by milestone so teams only model what's needed at each exchange, and attach the rule that checks it. In Plannerly the OIR, AIR and EIR become one list your appointed parties sign up to and every model is checked against. Set the information requirements, and the UK BIM Framework's guidance on developing information requirements.
How do I check that delivered models carry the data we asked for?
Write each requirement once - the property, its rule, value and unit - and give every supplier the same rules as an IDS file, so they can check their own work before they share it. Each delivered model goes into Verify, in any of over 60 model file formats or from Autodesk Construction Cloud, and every linked element is checked automatically. The charts update as teams fix what failed. Verify checks the information in a model; it isn't a clash detection tool yet. Model checking with IDS, and IDS from buildingSMART.
Do our appointed parties have to pay to join?
No. Everyone you invite joins at no cost to them. On Free, you're the editor and everyone you invite can view and comment. On Pro, editors and viewers are unlimited, so every appointed party can work on its own part of the plan. Compare the plans.
How do we know which company delivered what?
Each deliverable in the plan has one accountable company and a responsible person, agreed on the record, and each appointed party signs a contract with only its own work in it. Deliveries are tracked against the plan as they arrive, so the evidence of who delivered what builds up as you go. Everyone assigned to a task is reminded 7 days before it starts, 3 days before it's due and when it's overdue, and you can adjust the timings. Agree the RACI and run the MIDP.
Can we use the same requirements on every project?
Yes. Keep your OIR, AIR, EIR and scope in one template project, with SmartFields where each project's details go, and start every new project from it. When you improve the standard, projects that used it are offered the update. Make it your company standard, and the free ISO 19650 templates in your language.
Can we keep our project data in our own region?
Yes, on the Company plan: your data in the region you choose - the US, the EU or Canada - with single sign-on, custom roles and access controls, and your own quote, purchase order and invoice workflow. Compare the plans, or ask us for a quote.
Is there free ISO 19650 training for our own team?
Yes. Every course is free with a certificate, from Level 1 BIM Management Basics to Level 3 ISO 19650 Expert, and ISO 19650 for Companies takes an organisation from a readiness check to an audit-ready action plan. 16,600+ learners have taken them, rated 4.9 out of 5 from thousands of ratings.
