Abstract

This technology evaluation method provides a structured and transparent approach for assessing digital tools that support Information Management and Building Information Modelling (BIM). It establishes consistent criteria for evaluating functionality, interoperability, usability, compliance with standards such as ISO 19650, and alignment with organisational needs. The method supports objective comparison, informed decision-making, and proportionate investment, ensuring that technology acts as an enabler of defined processes rather than a driver in itself. Overall, it helps organisations select and implement technology solutions that are fit for purpose, scalable, and supportive of long-term Information Management / BIM adoption and continuous improvement.
