Open BIM is one of the most important ways to improve interoperability, reduce workflow friction, and make ISO 19650 information management far more practical across different software platforms.

In this video, you'll learn how open BIM principles and tools help teams exchange information more seamlessly using open standards instead of closed, software-specific workflows. We cover IFC and BCF, the buildingSMART Data Dictionary, IDS for machine-readable information requirements, and COBie workflows for structured asset information handover.

This expert training video explains how these standards work together in a more proactive and connected information workflow, helping teams define requirements more clearly, verify deliverables more reliably, and organize handover data in a much more efficient way.

In this video, you'll learn:
- What open BIM means and why it matters for ISO 19650 workflows
- Why closed BIM workflows often create interoperability and data exchange problems
- How IFC supports better model sharing across different software tools
- How BCF helps teams report and coordinate issues more clearly
- What the buildingSMART Data Dictionary does and why it matters
- How IDS helps define machine-readable information requirements
- Why standardized requirements are better than disconnected PDFs and spreadsheets
- How COBie workflows support structured asset information handover
- How requirements, verification, and export can work together in one process
- How open BIM standards help create more reliable, efficient, and less stressful project delivery

This is a practical overview for teams that want to improve interoperability, standardize data, support automated verification, and deliver better handover information using open BIM principles under ISO 19650.

This video is ideal for:
- BIM Managers
- Information Managers
- Project Managers
- Digital Delivery Leads
- Consultants
- Design teams
- Construction teams
- Anyone using open BIM workflows and standards in project delivery

If you want a clearer way to understand how IFC, BCF, bSDD, IDS, and COBie fit together in a practical ISO 19650 workflow, this video is a strong next step.
