CIC BIM Standards - General (Version 2.1 - 2021), with new templates in Appendix D

This Standards (Version 2.1 – 2021) supersedes the previous publication (Version 2 – December 2020).

 

In 2020, we have reached another milestone for BIM adoption in Hong Kong, embracing ISO 19650. We were glad to see the release of Construction Industry Council (CIC) BIM Standards - General (Version 2 - December 2020) in 2020, which contains major enhancements to align with ISO 19650's Information Management principles, workflows and requirements, also providing Hong Kong 'Local Annex' of ISO 19650-2:2018. Users will find this new version differs substantially when compared to the August 2019 publication.

 

Based on feedback obtained since the release of Version 2 in 2020, together with the release of new templates of information requirements, we are pleased to issue the CIC BIM Standards - General (Version 2.1 - 2021) this year.
