Version 1.0 of BSI Flex 1965: v1.0 2022, which was sponsored by the Construction Innovation Hub via Centre for Digital Built Britain’s IM programme, is available for download now and is open for comment via the Standards Development Portal until 31st of August. This BSI Flex has been developed to help clients and asset owners incorporate the use of the UK BIM Framework into their delivery of project and asset management activities.
The BSI Flex 1965: v1.0 2022 is the first iteration of a standard that provides a way of specifying the UK BIM Framework when procuring services that contain an information management element by identifying the features, values and characteristics to be considered in producing clear and unambiguous requirements. The BSI Flex 1965: v1.0 2022 also provides recommended methods to formulate these values and characteristics coherently within a specification.
The BSI Flex 1965: v1.0 2022 aims to make it easier for contracting authorities to use the UK BIM Framework to standardize the approach to generating and classifying data, data security and data exchange. On the other hand, the BSI Flex 1965: v1.0 2022 also aims to ensure and produce specifications relating to information management that are clear and unambiguous as well as reduce disputes, confusion and requests for information.
Therefore, using the BSI Flex 1965: v1.0 2022 is expected to accelerate innovation, develop expertise and improve the efficiency of individuals producing specifications and those who respond to specifications such as contracting authorities, asset managers, contractors, consultants and portfolio managers.
