Build Digital hosted a webinar to announce the launch of a Delivery Team Information Management tool on Thursday, January 30th 2025.
Build Digital Project Lead Robert Moore demonstrated how the new Build Digital Delivery Team Information Management (IM) Plan can be effectively implemented on projects. The Delivery Team IM Plan has been developed in accordance with ISO 19650-2 and offers a comprehensive template for the Pre-appointment BIM Execution Plan (BEP), which can be developed into the project’s BIM Execution Plan (BEP). It has also been designed to meet the requirements of Capital Works Management Framework (CWMF) projects under the Irish BIM Mandate.
What was discussed:
Denise Tuffy, Director of Specialist Consulting in the Construction Industry Federation hosted the event and facilitated a Q&A session. Find the questions raised and answers below:
ISO 19650 covers information requirements. Carbon input is an information requirement. We will be preparing a worked example of an EIR template with CWMF/safety file/sustainability information requirements.
Similar plans have been used on projects to simplify the process. The key lesson was having current information (or links to information) in one place helped with eliminating version control or miscommunication issues.
There are no plans to prepare a sample project, but Build Digital will be preparing a worked example of an EIR template. It is recommended to use the last completed project in your organisation and apply the new templates.
The information standards and procedures should be tailored to your organisations. But here is a start:

As a client, for a tender use:
Ask the tenderers to respond using:
As a client, the below should be considered:
ISO 19650 covers information requirements. Carbon input is an information requirement.
These templates and loads more are available on The Build Digital Exchange.
The standard does not set a minimum requirement. This should be set in the tender for a project and the requirement of the organisation will define it.
The easiest approach is to compare cost events in projects with and without proper information management.
There are no plans to prepare a sample project, but we will be preparing a worked example of an EIR template with CWMF/safety file/sustainability information requirements. We will be assisting the Local Authorities in implementing this on their projects, but this engagement will be led by the Build digital cohort groups (National infrastructure, Local infrastructure, and Local housing) that we are forming now.
