Vision
Overview
The Standard Information Management Plan provides a common approach to embed robust information management processes within infrastructure projects, using building information modelling (BIM). When we create information on infrastructure projects efficiently, and leverage supporting digital technologies to manage and share it, the resulting lifecycle benefits for asset operational management and maintenance can be significant.
The resource has been developed through significant industry consultation and contribution and is aligned with BS EN ISO 19650 international industry standards and the UK BIM Framework guidance. It has three primary objectives:
- Support a consistent approach in how Scotland public sector clients / contracting authorities specify their project and asset information requirements, including how they are delivered and managed.
- Enable the delivery of accurate as-built digital information models and operations and maintenance information to support lifecycle asset management.
- Comply and align with new international standards in the adoption of building information management using BIM.
The plan is made up of three constituent parts which includes a client dashboard, project workbooks, and supplementary delivery templates. Additionally, there are national and programme level resources to support its implementation on projects, all of which can be accessed via the subnavigation.

Testimonials
'The Scottish Futures Trust’s Standard Information Management Plan and Master Asset List have played a pivotal role in shaping The Highland Council’s digital estate and asset information strategy. We are enhancing the delivery of asset data from capital projects and refining our organisational procedures and processes to manage our assets and data throughout their entire lifecycle, not solely at handover. By integrating the work of the SFT into our organisation, we have been able to develop our ambitious plan to digitise our estate and deliver improved outcomes and services across all our assets.'
