- Appendix A – Glossary - Includes definitions and explanations of terms and abbreviations used in the Guide.
- Appendix B - AS ISO 19650 Resources Descriptions - Includes brief descriptions of documents and resources that support the information management processes described in AS ISO 19650.
- Appendix C - BIM Use & Enabler Descriptions - Includes descriptions of BIM uses and enablers including their potential value, scope considerations and useful references that can be used as a resource when selecting appropriate BIM uses on a project.
- Appendix D - Defining Information Requirements - Includes guidance and resources for using the following templates to specify information requirements:
- Asset Information Requirements (AIR) Template.
- Project Information Requirements (PIR) Template.
- Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) Template.
- Templates - Editable templates include
- AIR template (AS ISO 19650 aligned).
- PIR template (AS ISO 19650 aligned).
