The UK BIM Alliance has prepared this ‘position statement’ on digital twins to clarify the relationship between BIM and digital twins, to complement discussions in various work groups within the National Digital Twin (NDT) programme by the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB).
With discussions taking place around the world on this important topic, the UK BIM Alliance thought it best to formally publish a positioning statement as a ‘go to’ resource for anyone partaking in the various discussions.

Provides an international framework for the creation of a information Schema for the Railway infrastructure domain
This guidance was issued in July 2019 by the UK BIM Alliance, BSI and CDDB as a complement to?Information Management according to BS EN ISO 19650 – Guidance Part 1: Concepts, published in April 2019.
It aims to help UK businesses and public clients understand the processes indicated in ISO 19650, with a focus on the different parties and their team activities referred in the standard: the Appointing Party, Lead Appointed Party and Appointed Party; the Project Team, Delivery Team and Task Team.?
The guidance explains the role of each party by summarising their activities and outputs at each stage of the construction project, for instance how to coordinate information requirements, delivery milestones and information standards. It covers how to establish the information protocol, the management of the common data environment, how the information should be shared, reviewed and eventually archived alongside the lessons learned to help with future projects.??
It details how each party fits into a team and across teams, which documents need compiling, which resources need sourcing and/or mobilising, how information models are assessed for compliance and which party is in charge of, say, establishing the delivery team’s capability and capacity.
A summary provides an overview of the Information Management Process, divided in stages, from Assessment and Need through Tender, Appointment, Mobilization, Collaborative Production of information and Information Model Delivery to Project Close-out.

Asset Information Requiements Guidance. The AIR is a document which forms part of the ISO 19650 process, put simply it should articulate the asset data the organisation or owner would like to be delivered on project completion. In many cases it is likely that asset/facilities management processes are already in place within your organisation, however they may not have been structured in a manner which enables them to be specified as a project deliverable. The AIR specifies the information required to successfully operate and maintain an asset, typically focusing on specific components of an asset. This guidance document helps to ask specific questions of your existing asset management processes in order to develop a suitable AIR for your project.

Pre-appointment and Delivery team’s BIM Execution Plan (BEP) Guidance. The BEP is a key component of successful BIM delivery, it is the mechanism for all appointed parties to respond to the clients overall delivery requirements. The BEP is a live project level document which will be consistently updated throughout the project as required. A BEP should first be developed pre-appointment to aid the procurement process and then this should be updated and maintained by the delivery team as a whole post-appointment. This guidance document is applicable to both BEPs and walks through the purpose of the BEP. The guidance document explains the sections which should be included in the BEP to define how the design team will meet the appointing parties requirements.

Capability and Capacity Assessment Guidance. This assessment form is designed to be used on a BIM project to assist in the procurement and appoinment of various parties. Having a deeper understanding of each appointed parties capabilities with regards to BIM and information management can help to ensure the correct companies are selected and that they have the capacity needed to successfully deliver the project. The CCA is a series of questions which can be put to the potential delivery team to answer during procurement to establish their delivery process, experience and inexperience in various apsects of the project delivery.
