ISO 19650 information management, BEP, CDE, LOD definitions, IFC, COBie, 4D/5D BIM, and digital twin handover — aligned with UK BIM Framework, EU practice, and Dubai Municipality mandate.
8 lessons taking you from fundamentals through to working application — written for engineers and decision-makers, not students.
Why this course exists. BIM stopped being a CAD upgrade. ISO 19650 is mandatory on UK public projects. EU member states mandate it on infrastructure. Dubai Municipality requires it on buildings >40 floors. The handover from BIM to operational digital twin is now the asset value driver.
Who it's for. Design coordinators, BIM managers, project information managers, asset managers receiving BIM-based handover, and engineers who need to engage BIM workflows credibly.
How it's written. Ten lessons grounded in ISO 19650 vocabulary applied to real projects. Federated models, clash detection, IFC and COBie open standards, the digital-twin handover that asset managers actually use.
Read in order, or jump to the lesson you need. Each lesson stands alone but the course flows from foundation to application.
BIM evolution from 2D CAD to information-rich 3D models. Levels 0-3, Maturity Index.
ISO 19650 Parts 1, 2, 3, 5 — information management lifecycle and security.
CDE architecture, container-based collaboration, file versioning, approval workflows.
Federated models in Navisworks/Solibri/Revizto, hard vs soft clashes, resolution workflows.
IFC schema, COBie, openBIM principles, vendor-neutral data exchange.
Discipline-specific BIM workflows — MEP routing, structural penetrations, architectural coordination.
Operational digital twins, IoT integration, BMS data connection, asset management handover.
UK Government BIM Mandate, EU member-state mandates, Dubai Municipality BIM Level 2 mandate.
Structured to support self-certified CPD logging. Each lesson provides clear learning objectives, technical content, knowledge checks, and downloadable evidence — the four elements UK chartered bodies recognise for self-certified CPD entries.
Eight outcomes. Read the course end-to-end and you’ll be able to act on each one without looking up the standard.
Differentiate CAD from BIM and information management from drawing production.
Apply ISO 19650 series to real project information delivery.
Set up a CDE with information container governance.
Manage federated models with effective clash detection workflows.
Use IFC and COBie for open data exchange across vendors.
Coordinate MEP/structural/architectural discipline synchronisation.
Plan digital twin handover from as-built BIM to operational twin.
Compare BIM mandates UK Government, EU member states, Dubai Municipality.
