Assuring Information Compliance for Scottish Futures Trust Education Projects

Project Overview

Reducing coordination risk and ensuring compliant, usable asset data under SIMP and ISO 19650

IIMBE supported Morrison Construction (Galliford Try Group) across multiple Scottish Futures Trust (SFT) education projects, acting as Information Manager under the Standard Information Management Plan (SIMP).

Challenge

SFT projects require strict adherence to SIMP and Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), with non-compliance creating downstream risk to coordination, approvals, and asset usability.

Without structured information management, projects face inconsistent data, rework, approval delays, and incomplete asset information at handover.

IIMBE Role

Appointed as Information Manager to establish and assure compliant information delivery aligned to SIMP and ISO 19650.

DEFINE

We translated SIMP and EIR requirements into a clear, enforceable BIM Execution Plan, defining how information would be produced, validated, and exchanged across the delivery team.

This removed ambiguity early, aligning responsibilities and setting a controlled foundation for compliant delivery.

DELIVER

We led federated model coordination, facilitated structured review cycles, and enforced data validation processes across disciplines.

This ensured information remained compliant, coordinated, and reliable throughout design and construction — reducing rework risk and strengthening delivery confidence.

ENABLE

At key stages and handover, we managed end-of-stage federation and COBie data collation, ensuring asset information was complete, structured, and usable.

This supported a smooth transition into operations with data aligned to facilities management requirements.

Outcome

Information delivery was consistently aligned to SIMP and ISO 19650 across multiple projects, reducing coordination risk and eliminating ambiguity in data requirements.

Project teams operated with clearer accountability, approvals were streamlined, and asset information was handed over in a structured, usable format.

The result was not just compliance, but confidence — in delivery, in data quality, and in long-term asset performance.

The IIMBE team have an in-depth knowledge of the SFT projects and SIMP requirements, providing a great level of service as the Information Manager. We look forward to collaborating with the IIMBE team on more projects in the future.

Project Appraisals

We provide early clarity on delivery risk, readiness, and information maturity before momentum locks in poor decisions.

This service assesses objectives, constraints, delivery strategy, and information requirements to identify where complexity, misalignment, or capability gaps may undermine outcomes if left unaddressed.

The outcome is a clear, informed view of delivery risk and priority actions before issues escalate.

Project Mobilisation & Delivery Strategy

We help projects establish the structures, roles, and processes required to deliver with confidence from day one.

This service focuses on mobilising teams, aligning delivery partners, and setting clear expectations for information management, coordination, and digital execution across the supply chain.

The outcome is a project set up to move quickly, communicate clearly, and manage information consistently under pressure.

Part of Digital Delivery

Constructability Assurance

We ensure information produced during design supports buildability, coordination, and safe execution on site.

Through structured model coordination, constructability reviews, and issue management, we help teams identify and resolve conflicts early – reducing rework, variation, and disruption during construction.

The outcome is improved build certainty, reduced risk on site, and smoother delivery across disciplines.

Part of Digital Delivery

Digital Asset Capture & Handover

We ensure information handed over from delivery is structured, complete, and fit for operational use.

This service focuses on defining handover requirements early, governing how information is captured during delivery, and validating that asset data meets operational needs — not just contractual obligations.

The outcome is trusted asset information that supports commissioning, operations, and long-term performance.

Process & Workflow Definition

We define the processes and workflows required to manage information consistently across the organisation.

This service focuses on clarifying how information should be created, reviewed, approved, and maintained – reducing variation, ambiguity, and reliance on individual workarounds.

The outcome is repeatable, reliable information practices that support scale and consistency.

Part of Organisational Intelligence

Digital Information Requirements

We help organisations define clear, practical requirements for information across delivery and operations.

This service focuses on specifying what information is needed, when it is needed, and how it should be structured – ensuring data created through projects is fit for operational and analytical use.

The outcome is information that is purposeful, usable, and aligned to real decision needs.

Data Quality Improvements

We assess and improve the quality, structure, and reliability of existing information.

This service identifies gaps, inconsistencies, and risk within current datasets, then supports remediation to improve accuracy, completeness, and trustworthiness.

The outcome is increased confidence in the information used to manage assets and portfolios.

Validate & Optimise

We help organisations use insight to improve performance over time.

This service focuses on validating assumptions, monitoring outcomes, and identifying opportunities for optimisation, using information to support better prioritisation, investment decisions, and operational improvement.

The outcome is insight that enables proactive management rather than retrospective reporting.
