OIR template — the strategic north star

The Organisational Information Requirements (OIR) define what an organisation strategically needs from its built-asset data. Everything else derives from them — the AIR (operation) and PIR (project).

What are the OIR?

The OIR (Organisational Information Requirements) are the top, organisation-wide level of ISO 19650 — cross-project and not tied to a single scheme. They answer: which information does the organisation need to meet its strategic objectives? From the OIR come the AIR (operation) and — per project — the PIR.

The bridge to asset management (ISO 55001)

Good OIR don't float in mid-air — they align with the asset management strategy and policy (SAMP, ISO 55001):

ISO scope: the OIR are organisation-level, not project-level. Don't confuse them with the PIR (per project) or the EIR (to the delivery team). Keeping this clean stops strategy from drowning in project detail.

Generate it

In the generator you state objectives, metrics and governance — the basis from which AIR and PIR derive consistently. The result: an ISO 19650-compliant OIR as DOCX/PDF.

FAQ

What are the OIR?

The organisation-wide information requirements — the strategic north star from which AIR and PIR derive.

How do OIR and ISO 55001 relate?

The OIR align with the asset management strategy (SAMP, ISO 55001) — objectives, levels of service and criticality shape the information need.

Does every organisation need OIR?

Worthwhile once BIM is thought of strategically and beyond a single project. For one project, PIR + EIR often suffice.
