As construction projects become increasingly digital and complex, consistent information management becomes crucial for effective project delivery and stakeholder collaboration. The National Annex to SS ISO 19650:2-2024 is Singapore's adaptation of the international standard ISO 19650-2, which provides guidelines on managing information over the delivery phase of construction projects.
Tailored to align with Singapore's regulatory and industry practices, the SS ISO 19650-2:2024, including the National Annex, offers a structured framework for project teams to plan, create, share and manage information - particularly digital data generated through Building Information Modelling (BIM) - to promote clarity, consistency and collaboration among all stakeholders.
This standardisation becomes even more critical with the growing adoption of Common Data Environment (CDE) in Singapore's Built Environment sector, ensuring data quality, managing a single source of truth and ultimately supporting data-driven decision making.
With more structured information management, it also lays the foundation for more effective digital project delivery and integration with emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
The SS ISO 19650-2:2024 (including National Annex) is available for purchase at go.gov.sg/bca-nationalannex.
The National Annex establishes the standardised file naming convention. To facilitate industry adoption, the File Naming Converter tool was developed to automate the conversion from existing company naming conventions to the National Annex standards. Without this tool, project teams may face considerable manual conversion effort, risk working with inconsistent naming systems, and time-consuming adjustments to varying standards imposed by different clients.
