What is ISO 29481-2 - Interaction framework of building information models about?  

ISO 29481-2 is the second part of the multi-series standard that is applicable to building information models. 

ISO 29481-2 specifies a methodology and format for describing ‘coordination acts’ between actors in a building construction project during all life cycle stages. 

ISO 29481-2 is intended to facilitate interoperability between software applications used in the construction process, to promote digital collaboration between actors in the building construction process, and to provide a basis for accurate, reliable, repeatable, and high-quality information exchange. 

Who is ISO 29481-2 - Interaction framework of building information models for?  

ISO 29481-2 on building information models is useful for: 

• Construction industries   
• Civil engineers   
• Building contractors   
• Manufacturers and suppliers of construction products and building elements  
• Builders   
• Contractors 
• Regulatory authorities 

Why should you use ISO 29481-2 - Interaction framework of building information models?  

Building information modelling provides a concept for describing and displaying information required in the design, construction, and operation of constructed facilities. 

ISO 29481-2 specifies 

• A methodology that describes an interaction framework 
• An appropriate way to map responsibilities and interactions that provides a process context for information flow 
• A format in which the interaction framework should be specified 

ISO 29481-2 helps to identify and define building information models.
