ISO 19650 is a framework that helps project teams—especially clients—define what they want to achieve with digital processes. At HH Angus, we have extensive experience delivering digital outputs and using BIM on projects, and we've seen that the most successful outcomes come when clients clearly define their requirements. We see ISO 19650 as a roadmap to help clients get what they need from their projects, and we’d love to have more conversations about how to make that happen.Discussion pointsAdoption, Awareness, and Implementation in CanadaBIM and Technology in CanadaFuture of ISO 19650 in CanadaBenefits and impact to project teams, clientsHow can HH Angus help ‘Expanding the Possible’! is a podcast series from HH Angus and Associates.
