Construction projects are complex, with teams scattered across different locations, all needing to work in sync. Without a clear framework, managing information can quickly get out of control. This is where ISO 19650 steps in—it’s an international standard for managing information throughout a construction project’s life cycle. It ensures data is clear, reliable, and accessible, reducing the risk of errors and helping teams collaborate efficiently.

Why ISO 19650 Matters

Here’s why ISO 19650 is essential:

  1. Alignment: It ensures everyone is on the same page, with clear rules for managing and sharing data.
  2. Reliability: Structured, easy-to-find data helps projects run smoothly.
  3. Risk Reduction: Proper information management lowers the risk of costly errors and delays.

By following ISO 19650, you’re not just complying with standards; you’re setting your project up for success.

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)—The Perfect CDE

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is the ideal Common Data Environment (CDE) to implement ISO 19650. Here’s why:

  1. Enforced Standards & Access Control: ACC helps enforce the structured approach required by ISO 19650. It allows you to set up standardized naming conventions, manage document versions, and control access rights, ensuring that only the right people can view or edit specific information. This not only maintains order across the project but also ensures compliance with ISO 19650’s strict guidelines on how data is named, stored, and shared.
  2. Simplified Collaboration: ACC makes it easy for teams to collaborate and track changes in real-time, perfectly aligning with ISO 19650’s focus on communication.
  3. End-to-End Data Support: ACC follows your project from design through construction and into operations, ensuring information is available at every stage.
  4. Automated Workflows: Automate tasks like approvals and updates, saving time and reducing manual effort.

The Perfect Match: ISO 19650 and ACC

ISO 19650 and Autodesk Construction Cloud work hand in hand. While ISO 19650 sets the framework for efficient information management, ACC provides the tools to bring that framework to life. Together, they ensure your project runs smoothly, collaboratively, and successfully.

Last month, we hosted a webinar with our partners to discuss the implementation of ISO 19650 within Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). The key takeaway from the session was that ISO 19650 can be effectively implemented in ACC, regardless of the size of your company, as long as you have the correct standards in place and your ACC configuration is set up properly.
