The Exchange Information Requirements - or EIR - are where the different information needs of a project come together into one clear guide.

In this video, you'll learn what an EIR is, why it matters, and how it helps teams bring together organizational, asset, and project information requirements in one structured place so everyone understands exactly what needs to be delivered, in what format, and at what stage.

This expert training video explains why exchange information requirements are so important for tendering, appointments, project delivery, and compliance. It also shows how EIR helps reduce confusion across multiple teams, systems, formats, and milestones by creating one clear source of truth for information exchange.

In this video, you'll learn:
- What an EIR is in ISO 19650
- Why projects struggle when exchange information requirements are unclear
- How EIR brings OIR, AIR, and PIR together in one place
- Why defining the purpose of information exchange is essential
- How to decide the right form and format for information delivery
- Why milestones and timing matter for exchange information
- How quality standards help teams understand what is acceptable
- Why finalizing EIR early helps reduce misunderstandings in tendering and appointments
- How database-driven workflows make EIR easier to structure and filter
- How EIR helps teams understand their compliance criteria from day one

This is a practical overview for teams that want to simplify information exchange, create better tender and appointment documentation, and make sure project teams clearly understand what is expected throughout the lifecycle of the project.

This video is ideal for:
- BIM Managers
- Information Managers
