Irish BIM Mandate Explained: The Pentagon Docs Assistant Series on ISO 19650 Compliance
Since January 2024, the Irish BIM Mandate has required public works projects to comply with ISO 19650 standarder, including the Irish National Annex. By 2028, even smaller projects under €1 million must meet these requirements.
For design teams, engineers, project managers, and contractors, this means meticulous management of document naming conventions, approvals, metadata, and version control. Manual processes are no longer sustainable.
PentagonDocs Assistant (PDA) provides a secure, ISO 19650-ready document management platform designed to simplify compliance for Irish projects. This three-part video series demonstrates how PDA saves time, reduces errors, and streamlines workflows for construction teams across Ireland.
