Driving ISO 19650-Compliant BIM Implementation in India’s Built Environment

In a joint success story originally published by BSI, Desapex, one of India’s premier BIM engineering consultancies, has demonstrated its commitment to digital excellence and sustainability through its adoption of BSI Academy’s world-class BIM training. This strategic move is part of Desapex’s mission to lead the way in ISO 19650-compliant digital construction.

The Business Challenge: Scaling BIM Expertise

Desapex works with large-scale clients across the planning, design, and construction value chain. With rising global expectations for sustainable infrastructure and structured information management, Desapex sought to:

Upskill its BIM professionals with certified learning
Deliver greater value to its existing clients
Strengthen business development through verifiable expertise

The Solution: Partnering with BSI Academy

Through an intensive online BIM qualification program facilitated by BSI Academy, six Desapex delegates including BIM Managers and Digital Delivery Leads enhanced their knowledge in:

ISO 19650 standards and application
Digital information workflows
International BIM best practices

The participants praised the learning experience, calling the tutor-led sessions “excellent” and the breakout discussions “outstanding.” Upon completion, all delegates earned independently verified BIM qualifications from BSI.

The Outcome: Elevating BIM Leadership in India

As highlighted in the BSI-published case study, Desapex’s BIM training initiative resulted in several key benefits:

✅ Established leadership in ISO 19650-compliant BIM delivery
✅ Enabled seamless and efficient digital project execution
✅ Helped clients align with global sustainability and digital twin strategies
✅ Upskilled top talent, improving confidence and service delivery
✅ Positioned Desapex as a go-to partner for world-class infrastructure projects

“BIM is the way forward for India’s built environment, and our collaboration with BSI Academy helps us maximize our clout in this growing market.”‍
