Clear information requirements are one of the biggest foundations of successful BIM management and ISO 19650 project delivery.

In this video, we move beyond document management and look at how to define information requirements in a way that is structured, visual, collaborative, and machine readable. Too many teams still rely on disconnected spreadsheets for TIDPs, MIDPs, Level of Information Need matrices, and Asset Information Requirements, which creates confusion, overlap, inconsistent interpretation, and major project risk.

This advanced training video shows why spreadsheet-based workflows often fail and how a dedicated construction-focused database can help teams define requirements more clearly, collaborate more effectively, and prepare for automated verification later in the workflow.

In this video, you'll learn:
- Why spreadsheet-based information management creates risk and confusion
- How unclear requirements lead to overlap, gaps, and delivery failures
- Why TIDPs, MIDPs, AIRs, and Level of Information Need need better structure
- How a visual grid helps teams understand requirements more quickly
- Why visual requirements improve collaboration and executive buy-in
- How a structured database creates a single source of truth
- How machine-readable information supports downstream automation
- What buildingSMART IDS is and why it matters
- How human-readable and machine-readable requirements work together
- Why proactive automated checking starts with clear requirements from day one

This is a practical workflow for teams that want to improve BIM scope definition, reduce miscommunication, streamline model checking, and make ISO 19650 information requirements far easier to understand and deliver.

This video is ideal for:
- BIM Managers
- Information Managers
- Project Managers
- Digital Delivery Leads
- Design teams
- Construction teams
- Anyone creating TIDPs, MIDPs, AIRs, and model information requirements

If you want a better way to communicate requirements, reduce spreadsheet chaos, and prepare for automated verification, this video is a strong next step.
