What is ISO 23387 about?  

ISO 23387 is an International Standard on construction design, modelling, and data exchange 

Which sets out the principles and structure for data templates for construction objects.  

ISO 23387 is developed to support digital processes using machine-readable formats using a standard data structure to exchange information about any type of construction object, e.g. product, system, assembly, space, building, etc., used in the inception, brief, design, production, operation, and demolition of facilities. 

The target audience of this ISO 23387 is software developers and not construction industry domain experts appointed to create data templates based on sources describing information needs 

Who is ISO 23387 for? 

ISO 23387 on building information modelling (BIM) is relevant to: 

  • Software developers 
  • IT industry 
  • Civil engineers 
  • Digital-based companies 

Why should you use ISO 23387?  

BIM provides a digital process for describing and displaying information required in the planning, design, construction, and operation of constructed facilities. This approach encompasses all aspects of the built environment, including civil infrastructure, utilities, and public space. 

ISO 23387 is useful as it includes data templates that provide a standardized data structure  

Also, customization is available in different types of data templates format on business requirements. 

ISO 23387 is essential to provide a reliable and sustainable exchange of information in an asset life cycle process. 

ISO 23387 is beneficial as it enables design and developing teams to leverage their technology investment to do much more, amidst easy access to information.
