This document specifies concepts and principles to establish a methodology for specifying level of
information need and information deliveries in a consistent way when using building information
modelling (BIM).
This document specifies the characteristics of different levels used for defining the detail and extent of
information required to be exchanged and delivered throughout the life cycle of built assets. It gives
guidelines for principles required to specify information needs.
The concepts and principles in this document can be applied for a general information exchange and
whilst in progress, for a generally agreed way of information exchange between parties in a
collaborative work process, as well as for an appointment with specified information delivery.
The level of information need provides methods for describing information to be exchanged according
to exchange information requirements. The exchange information requirements specify the wanted
information exchange. The result of this process is an information delivery.
This document is applicable to the whole life cycle of any built asset, including strategic planning, initial
design, engineering, development, documentation and construction, day-to-day operation, maintenance,
refurbishment, repair and end-of-life.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
