The benefits of adopting ISO 19650 for managing information in construction and asset management are compelling – improved efficiency, reduced risk, better collaboration, and enhanced long-term value. However, as we’ve seen in many of the organisations we work with, the path towards successfully implementing this global standard isn't always clear. Recognising the common pain points is therefore a crucial first step towards developing effective strategies to address them.

In the modern construction sector, effectively managing information is critical for efficiency, safety, compliance and long-term success. But whether you're dealing with buildings, infrastructure, or utilities, the sheer volume of data generated throughout an asset's lifecycle can be overwhelming.

Adopting new technologies can feel like navigating uncharted territory, and understandably, misconceptions often arise. 4D modelling in construction is one such example. As specialists, we know it offers transformative potential for construction projects. But we’re also aware that some clients are hesitant to implement it — perhaps held back by misunderstandings about its utility, cost, or value add.

Within the construction industry, evolving digital technologies are paving the way for smarter, safer, and more efficient projects. At the forefront is Majenta’s 4D modelling service – a new approach to project visualisation that integrates 3D design models with the crucial fourth dimension: time, by integrating key details from the project schedule.

At Majenta, tackling complex challenges often involves bringing together diverse expertise. A perfect example of this synergy in action can be found within our automotive team: brothers Mike and Antony Byrne, who’ve been with Majenta for the past seven and eight years, respectively.

The Building Safety Act (2022) mandates crucial reforms necessary to improve safety standards across the built environment. But for many construction industry organisations, fulfilling the comprehensive requirements laid out in the Act is far from straightforward.

Developing modern vehicles is an increasingly complex undertaking, relying on a network of hundreds of suppliers providing thousands of individual parts, and underpinned by complex scheduling, logistics and communication requirements. But in many cases, beneath the surface, there’s a significant – and often greatly underestimated – drain on resources, time, and money. We’re talking about inefficient CAD data exchange.

The modern automotive supply chain relies on a delicate balance of logistics, communication and timing. A typical vehicle program can involve around 300 suppliers contributing over 30,000 parts, with suppliers themselves designing and engineering more than 60% of these components.

Two central pillars of the Building Safety Act for HRBs are the 'golden thread' of information and the mandatory gateway points, and effective information management is fundamental to successfully addressing both.
