Definition:
OIRs are defined in PAS 1192-3:2014 – Specification for information
management for the operational phase of assets using BIM (BSI 2013).
What is OIR:
OIRs explain the information needed by an organization for asset
management systems and other organizational functions & needs. While
these informations are organizational-level information requirements as
opposed to asset-level or project-level information requirements, which
are created based on the OIR. So that the resulting outcome of this should
be to achieve more efficient projects with least risk possible, successful
business objectives, and return on investment.

OIR HELPS IN:
1) Supplying the employer’s information requirements (EIRs) document
to achieve the project.
2) Create the BIM implementation documentation such as the BIM
execution plan (BEP).
3) Set the scene at the start of a project and helps the team focus on the
clients’ goals for the information, this will happen at the next stage
when the AIR (Asset Information Requirements) is formed.
7. Understanding who the internal clients are and the how the decision-making process is
made by the client team is important, this helps us understand who should be involved in
this step. This will be specific project dependent on the type and complexity of the work
however below we have summarized a list of some of the typical contributors we would
expect to see:

1
Health & Saftey
Compliance
Workplace health and safety requires thoughtful
and well communicated plans that involve
everyone in the organization.
2
Security management
policy
is the process of identifying, implementing, and
managing the rules and procedures that all
individuals must follow when accessing and using
an organization’s assets
3
Risk assessment and
management policy
The purpose of this Policy is to define, design and
implement a risk management framework across
the Company to identify, assess, manage and
monitor risks.

NO Requirment Description
4 Planning and budgeting
Planning provides a framework for a business'
financial objectives — typically for the next three to
five years. Budgeting details how the plan will be
carried out month to month
5 Sustainability Policy
is a business strategy that drives long-term
corporate growth and profitability by mandating the
inclusion of environmental and social issues in the
business model
6
Environmental
management policy
is a written statement, usually signed by senior
management, which outlines a business' aims and
principles in relation to managing the environmental
effects and aspects of its operations

Customer expectation
policy
Customer expectations can be defined as the set of
actions, behaviors, environment, and benefits the
customer looks for while interacting with a business.
8
Capital investment and
life-cycle costing
Life-cycle costing (LCC) combines capital and
operating costs to determine the net economic
effect of an investment, and evaluates the economic
performance of additional investments that may be
required for buildings
9
Contingency planning and
emergencies
Business continuity planning is an organizational
tool to ensure that an organization's systems can
continue to function during times of crisis.
15. How to create OIR?
To create an OIR it is good to clarify the
information requirements necessary for
your organization and it will be useful to
answer a series of questions:

How much do I need to
produce the information ?
What information is needed
to outline the company’s
development management or
finance objectives ? Who should take care of the
definition of information ?
How to produce the
information ?
6
How does this production
bring improvement to the
organization ?
How much do you need to
invest to produce
information ?

17. To Create OIR
All of these questions must
be answered before creating
your OIR template to achieve
high level of progress in the
investment strategy of the
organization.
17
19. Some of the challenges we might
face are:
- Aligning the OIR with the organization's
and/or interested party's strategic objectives
- Establishing clear and consistent information
requirements for different assets and projects
- Communicating and managing the OIR
throughout the asset life cycle
- Reviewing and updating the OIR as needed
19
20. Some of the Benefits are:
- Improving the quality and efficiency
of information management using
building information modelling (BIM)
- Supporting the decision-making and
performance evaluation of assets and
projects
- Enhancing the collaboration and
coordination among different
stakeholders
- Reducing the risks and costs
associated with information delivery
20
22. Certainly! Listed below are a few instances of Organization Information
Requirements (OIR) in Building Information Modelling (BIM) cases:
Project A: A substantial commercial building undertaking
OIR: The OIR for this project may contain specifications like:
1- Structure, architecture, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems are all represented in-depth
in 3D models.
2- Information about the building's equipment, finishes, and material specs.
3- Analysis of potential conflicts between various building systems using conflict detection.
4- Data and documentation for sustainability objectives, energy analyses, and adherence to building norms and
regulations.
5- Equipment specifications and maintenance schedules are included in maintenance and operations manuals.
22
23. OIR: The OIR for this project may include specifications like
1. the need for as-built records of the current structure, which would include floor plans,
elevations, and MEP systems.
2. To get precise measurements and spatial data, the facility was 3D laser scanned.
3. combining the new design plans with the facts already known about the structure.
4. Information about the locations of important infrastructure, such as electricity panels and
utility lines.
5. The placement of fire alarms, sprinkler systems, and evacuation routes, as well as their
documentation.
Project B: Renovating a hospital that already exists
2
3
24. Project C: A project to build infrastructure, such as a motorway
OIR: The OIR for this project may contain specifications like:
1. Road alignment, junctions, bridges, and drainage systems are all included in 3D models for
the highway design.
2. information on the cross-sectional profiles, road gradients, and pavement materials.
3. Quantity take-offs are used to calculate costs and quantities of materials.
4. incorporating nearby infrastructure, such as utilities, signs, and landscaping, into the design
of the route.
5. traffic flow and congestion visualization and simulation.
