🏗 What This Assessment Covers

Role-Specific Scoring

Select your certification role — AP, LAP, APP or Task Team — and the assessment filters to only the requirements that apply to you. Non-applicable items are hidden automatically.

Audit-Risk Weighting

Every requirement carries a weight from 1 to 5 reflecting its real certification risk. Weight-5 items flagged ⚠ are the most frequent causes of major non-conformity at BSI Stage 2 audit.

🏢

HRB / CNI / Gov Mode

Working on a Higher-Risk Building, Critical National Infrastructure or government-mandated project? Enable the toggle to automatically escalate weights for obligations under the Building Safety Act 2022.

📊

Category Breakdown

Results cover all five ISO 19650-2 categories: Organisational Processes, Information Requirements, CDE & Technical, Roles & Competency, and Project Evidence & Delivery.

📝

Guidance at Every Step

Each requirement has an expandable guidance note explaining what auditors look for, the most common non-conformity for that item, and the specific ISO 19650-2 clause it maps to.

📧

Instant Emailed Report

Your full readiness report — overall score, category breakdown, critical blockers and recommended next steps — is sent directly to your inbox and to 42DC as soon as you complete the assessment.

Each requirement is assessed on a 1–5 maturity scale. A Readiness Score of 80%+ per category indicates readiness for formal certification audit. Score 4 (Defined) is the minimum threshold for certification — anything below this on a critical item will result in a non-conformity at audit.

N/A
Not ApplicableNot relevant to your role or project scope. Excluded from scoring entirely.
1
Not EvidentNo evidence, documentation, process or ownership exists. This gap will result in a major non-conformity at Stage 1 or Stage 2 audit.
2
InitialEarly signs exist but are incomplete or inconsistent. Some activity is in place but not documented or reliably applied.
3
DevelopingPartially met. Processes exist but are not fully embedded or consistently applied across all projects and team members.
4
Defined — Minimum for Certification ✓Clearly defined, documented and consistently applied. This is the minimum threshold required by BSI Kitemark, LRQA and BRE for organisational certification.
5
OptimisedFully embedded, monitored and continuously improved. Well above the certification threshold — proactive, evidenced and reviewed regularly.

How Weighting Works

Each requirement is assigned a weighting from 1 to 5 reflecting its importance for certification:

1 — OptionalLow-impact. Helpful but not essential for certification.
2 — BeneficialSupports good practice. Low delivery risk if underdeveloped.
3 — ImportantShould be addressed. Supports consistency and reduces rework.
4 — High PriorityStrong influence on certification outcome. Gaps carry significant risk.
5 — CriticalImmediate Failure Risk. Any score below Defined (4) on a Weight-5 requirement will result in a major non-conformity that blocks certification at Stage 1 or Stage 2. These must be resolved before all other improvement work.

HRB / CNI / Government Projects

If your project is a Higher-Risk Building, CNI or government scheme, enable the project type toggle on the setup screen. Four requirements auto-escalate in weight: Security Triage (3→5), H&S Requirements (4→5), Close-Out & Lessons Learned (3→5) and PIM-to-AIM Handover (4→5). This reflects the mandatory elevated obligations under the Building Safety Act 2022.

  • 📋
    Indicative Assessment — Not a Formal AuditScores are based on structured criteria and professional judgement. They are not definitive measures of ISO 19650 compliance and this tool does not constitute formal certification. It is a structured pre-certification gap analysis to support planning and prioritisation.
  • 🎯
    Certification ThresholdBSI Kitemark, LRQA and BRE require all requirements at Defined (4) or above. A Readiness Score of ≥80% per category indicates readiness for formal Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit.
  • 👤
    Role Flags (AP / LAP / APP / TT)Each requirement is flagged for the roles it applies to. Requirements not applicable to your selected role are hidden and excluded from scoring entirely.
  • 🏗
    Stage 2 Requires a Live ProjectNo amount of documentation work will satisfy a Stage 2 audit without a real appointment in progress — with a functioning CDE, a populated BEP cross-referenced to an EIR, an active MIDP built from TIDPs, and an audit trail of LAP authorisation records. If no live BIM appointment is currently in place, Stage 2 cannot proceed regardless of your readiness score.
  • Certification is Binary — Not a GradientAuditors assess clause-by-clause conformance. A high overall score does not guarantee certification if a single critical clause fails. Any requirement marked ⚠ Immediate Failure Risk that scores below 4 (Defined) will result in a major non-conformity that blocks certification. Address these before any other improvement work.
  • 🔄
    Standards in TransitionA revised Draft International Standard (ISO/DIS 19650-1 and -2) is expected in 2026. Some clause references may change during a transition period. 42 Digital Consulting will update this tool accordingly. Annual review of your assessment is recommended.
  • 🌐
    IMI FrameworkThe UK BIM Framework was formally rebranded as the Information Management Initiative (IMI) Framework in November 2024 (imiframework.org). The Information Management Mandate (IMM) supersedes the 2016 BIM Mandate under IPA / Cabinet Office "Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030".
  • 📄
    BS 1192-4 StatusDespite being superseded as a standalone ISO standard by ISO 19650-4:2022, BS 1192-4:2014 remains explicitly listed in BSI Kitemark scheme document PP869 Rev 4 as an underpinning standard ("UK, optional for international"). COBie evidence must still be produced for BSI Kitemark UK certification.
  • 🏛
    Design LAP vs Main Contractor LAPISO 19650-2 makes no normative distinction between the two. All UKAS certification bodies (BSI, LRQA, BRE, Simply Certification) use a single LAP scope. Practical obligations differ at close-out (§5.8) and AIM handover — Main Contractor LAPs typically hold the §5.8.1 PIM archive and Gateway 3 submission obligations for higher-risk buildings under Building Safety Act 2022.
  • 📊
    Scope of ResultsCertification bodies sample live projects at Stage 2 — documented compliance alone is insufficient. Your readiness score reflects the maturity of your documented processes and governance. Evidence of application on real projects is the ultimate test at audit.
