4 Asset and project information, perspectives and collaborative working 4.1 Principles Asset information models (AIM) and project information models (PIM) are the structured repositories of information needed for making decisions during the whole life cycle of a built environment asset. This includes the design and construction of new assets, refurbishment of existing assets, and the operation and maintenance of an asset. It should be expected that the amount of information stored in information models, and the different purposes it will be used for, will mostly increase during project delivery and asset management. AIM and PIM can include structured and unstructured information. Examples of structured information include geometrical models, schedules and databases. Examples of unstructured information include documentation, video clips and sound recordings. Physical sources of information, such as soil and product samples, should be managed using the information management process described in this document through appropriate cross-references, for example sample numbers. Most projects involve work on an existing asset, even if this is a previously undeveloped site. These projects should include some pre-existing asset information to support the development of the project brief and be available for lead appointed parties working on the project. Information management processes within this document include the transfer of relevant information between an AIM and a PIM at the start and end of a project. Asset and project information has substantial value to appointing, lead appointed and appointed parties involved in asset management and project delivery. This includes where no formal appointments exist. Appointing, lead appointed and appointed parties include the owners, operators and managers of built assets, and those delivering design and construction projects. Asset and project information is also valuable to policymakers, regulators, investors, insurers and other external parties.
