Information Management & Requirements
Define the Right Information for Every Project Stage.
Effective information management starts with defining what project teams actually need—not simply producing more data. We establish structured information requirements that connect project objectives with the information needed for design, construction, handover and asset management. Our approach helps define what information should be created, who is responsible for delivering it, when it is required and the level of information necessary for its intended use.
We begin by understanding the project objectives, asset requirements, delivery stages, information needs and intended uses of the project information. We then structure these requirements through appropriate information management processes, specifications and delivery frameworks.
This can include IDM development, IDS, Level of Information Need, Project Information Requirements and delivery requirements aligned with the project's information-management strategy.
The result is a clear information framework that reduces unnecessary data, improves consistency and gives project teams a reliable understanding of what needs to be delivered, when it is required and what complete looks like.

We structure what information is required, when it is needed and how it should be delivered, creating clear requirements that support consistent information management throughout the project lifecycle.
Information Delivery Management (IDM)
- Map information delivery processes across project stages
- Define information exchanges, activities and responsibilities
- Establish clear delivery points and information workflows
- Align information processes with project objectives and uses
- Create structured workflows for consistent information delivery
Information Delivery Specification (IDS)
- Define structured, project-specific information requirements
- Specify required properties, classifications and data fields
- Establish rules for consistent and machine-readable information
- Support automated information checking and validation
- Align IDS requirements with intended project and asset uses
Level of Information Need (LoIN)
- Define appropriate information requirements for each project stage
- Establish required geometric, alphanumeric and documentation detail
- Avoid unnecessary modelling and information production
- Align information detail with specific project purposes and uses
- Create clear expectations for information completeness
Project Information Requirements
- Define information requirements around organisational and project objectives
- Establish required information, delivery stages and responsibilities
- Align project requirements with asset and operational needs
- Structure information delivery requirements for project teams
- Provide a clear basis for information exchange and project handover
What this covers
Right Information
Define exactly what information each project stage, discipline and stakeholder requires.
Right Time
Align information delivery with project milestones, decision points and required exchanges.
Right Level
Specify the appropriate geometry, data and documentation without creating unnecessary information.
The Value of Defining Information Clearly.
Clear Information Requirements
Define exactly what information is required for each project stage, purpose and stakeholder, reducing ambiguity across the delivery team.
Right Information at the Right Time
Align information exchanges with project milestones and decision points so teams receive the information they need when they need it.
Less Unnecessary Information
Apply Level of Information Need principles to prevent over-modelling and excessive data production that adds effort without creating project value.
Consistent Information Across Teams
Structured information requirements help different disciplines and organisations create and deliver information using consistent expectations and formats.
Better Information Validation
Clearly defined requirements provide measurable criteria for checking whether models and project information contain the required geometry, data and documentation.
Reliable Handover Information
Well-defined information requirements create a stronger foundation for structured handover and the continued use of project and asset information beyond construction.
Where Better Information Requirements Create the Most Value.
Major Multi-Disciplinary Projects
Complex projects involving multiple consultants, contractors and specialists where clearly defined information requirements are essential for consistent delivery.
Infrastructure & Transportation Programmes
Large rail, airport, highway and infrastructure programmes where information is produced across multiple packages, organisations and project stages.
Design & Engineering Delivery
Architecture and engineering environments where teams need clearly defined information requirements for models, drawings, data and documentation across design stages.
Construction & Specialist Trade Coordination
Projects involving main contractors, subcontractors and specialist trades where clear information exchanges and delivery requirements help connect design information with construction needs.
Asset Handover & Facilities Management
Projects where structured asset information must be defined early to support commissioning, digital handover, facilities management and future maintenance requirements.
Portfolio & Programme-Level Information Management
Organisations managing multiple projects that need consistent information requirements, delivery processes and information structures across their project portfolio.
