Discover the 5 fundamental steps of IDS to improve your BIM project and implement a workflow with automatic IFC model validation<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Correctly implementing information requirements<\/strong> within a BIM project is one of the most complex \u2013 and often underestimated \u2013 aspects of the entire digital process.<\/p>\n

The IDS standard (Information Delivery Specification)<\/a> was developed with this goal: to transform information requests into structured<\/strong>, clear<\/strong>, and above all automatically verifiable<\/strong> rules. It is therefore not just about defining “which data is needed,” but establishing how this data should be organized, controlled, and validated within the BIM model.<\/p>\n

The true value of the IDS emerges when it is included within a structured workflow<\/strong> that guides the project from the definition of requirements to the final verification of the IFC model.<\/p>\n

In this article, we will detail how to implement an IDS BIM workflow in 5 operational steps<\/strong>, analyzing tools, processes, and control methods. However, before delving into the individual phases, it is essential to clarify what is meant by the IDS workflow in BIM and what role it plays in the informational management of the project.<\/p>\n

To move from theory to practice, it is important to know that there are specific tools that allow for the operational management of IDS BIM<\/a>, supporting the definition, sharing, and verification of information requirements.<\/p>\n

What is an IDS workflow in BIM?<\/h2>\n

An IDS workflow in BIM is a structured process that allows for the consistent management of the entire informational cycle of the project, from the definition of requirements to the final verification of the model.<\/p>\n

Through the IDS (Information Delivery Specification)<\/strong>, information requirements are translated into a standardized digital format, interpretable by software and usable for automatic checks. In this way, the requested information does not remain merely at the document level but becomes rules applicable directly to the objects of the BIM model.<\/p>\n

The IDS workflow develops through all phases of the process:<\/p>\n
