You want to learn about Information Management or Building Information Modelling (BIM) so you start reading articles online. You quickly find all kinds of acronyms (OIRs, PIRs, LAPs, APs, the list goes on). Sometimes they even use the same letters (does an EIR ring a bell?) which makes things even more confusing. While there are lists of abbreviations and terms in each of the UK BIM Framework Guidance documents (which we sourced the initial list of Abbreviations and terms below from) and in any standard you read, we couldn't find ONE list that summarised what you need to know. 

So here it is, the definitive list of abbreviations and acronyms for Information Managers. If we missed out any, let us know! Hope this helps. 

At Morta, we are on a mission to enable you to do more with your data. We want to help you bring it to life. Data is currently dead: it is out of date, it has mistakes, it cannot be accessed and re-used.

In our last post, we highlighted that Morta's platform is as flexible as a spreadsheet. We are working with organisations across the supply chains across a range of functions to improve data quality, connect information and automate processes.

In every construction project and organisation, you'll find tens of spreadsheets, for all kinds of things - heck some organisations even have a "spreadsheet of spreadsheets". They are cheap, easy to use, available for everyone and extremely flexible - so what is not to like? In fact, regardless of the function you work in, at least one of your processes will likely be managed using a spreadsheet.
