What is ISO 29481-2 - Interaction framework of building information models about?
ISO 29481-2 is the second part of the multi-series standard that is applicable to building information models.
ISO 29481-2 specifies a methodology and format for describing ‘coordination acts’ between actors in a building construction project during all life cycle stages.
ISO 29481-2 is intended to facilitate interoperability between software applications used in the construction process, to promote digital collaboration between actors in the building construction process, and to provide a basis for accurate, reliable, repeatable, and high-quality information exchange.

Why should you use ISO 29481-2 - Interaction framework of building information models?
Building information modelling provides a concept for describing and displaying information required in the design, construction, and operation of constructed facilities.
ISO 29481-2 specifies
- A methodology that describes an interaction framework
- An appropriate way to map responsibilities and interactions that provides a process context for information flow
- A format in which the interaction framework should be specified
ISO 29481-2 helps to identify and define building information models.
