[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced on the 18th that it has obtained the 'ISO 19650:2018' certification, an international standard in the field of Building Information Modeling (BIM), from the British Standards Institution (BSI).

The BIM international standard is a guideline related to the BIM information management operating system issued in 2018, established by BSI, a founding member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

This certification is based on requirements for BIM information management, operation, and collaboration capabilities for project participants such as clients, main contractors, and subcontractors. It can only be obtained after passing rigorous global standard verification and evaluation of guidelines, processes, interviews with executives and practitioners, and project performance records.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction acquired the ISO 19650 certification as the main contractor. A Hyundai E&C official stated, "We have received international official certification for global-level BIM information management capabilities, standardized technology and quality, and specialized technical organizations throughout the entire construction project process, from bidding to design and construction."

Hyundai E&C is currently applying BIM to projects such as the Daegu Government Integrated Data Center and the North-South Road in Singapore. Starting from the second half of this year, it plans to introduce a BIM-based collaboration system at construction sites for data centers and residential buildings to be launched, enhancing the efficiency of BIM project operations.
