The Global Standard for BIM Data Interoperability
ISO 16739:2018 is an open, international standard developed by ISO that defines Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), a data schema used in Building Information Modeling (BIM). It establishes a neutral, vendor-independent format to describe, share, and exchange digital information related to buildings and infrastructure.
Key features of ISO 16739:
This standard empowers stakeholders to speak a common digital language, reducing redundancy and eliminating information silos.
Because Smarter Construction Needs Smarter Data
In complex building and infrastructure projects, fragmented data is the biggest bottleneck. ISO 16739 resolves this by enabling seamless BIM interoperability, allowing different systems to integrate effortlessly—ensuring that architects, engineers, contractors, and owners are always on the same page.
Here’s why leading AEC firms rely on ISO 16739:
✅ Break Down Data Silos Across Project Phases
✅ Increase Coordination in Multidisciplinary Environments
✅ Ensure Long-Term Accessibility and Reusability of BIM Data
✅ Support Regulatory Compliance with Open Standards
✅ Align with Global Digital Construction Mandates
