Calling all information managers! An introduction to PAS 1958:2026 – joining the dots of information management

Over the past two decades, the built environment has produced a growing number of standards, guides and resources aimed at improving information management. While this has driven real progress, the lack of an overarching framework has created fragmentation, with overlaps, gaps and contradictions leaving many organisations struggling to see how the pieces fit together.

PAS 1958:2026 addresses this challenge head on. It provides a holistic guide that brings together the core concepts from across built environment information management standards, offering a clear “picture on the box”. Its focus is not on compliance or checklists, but on understanding how information behaves, how it flows, and how it delivers value.

Crucially, PAS 1958 shifts thinking away from a project-centric view towards an organisational one, recognising information as a critical business asset in its own right. This session introduces the key principles of PAS 1958, showing how information management can be embedded into everyday organisational and project processes to support a joined-up, value-driven approach across the whole asset life cycle.
