ISO 19650: What Newforma Brings to You

If you’re managing architecture, engineering, or construction data, you already know the volume is overwhelming—drawings, RFIs, models, emails, submittals, and revisions. The larger the project, the more chaotic it becomes to keep teams aligned and documentation traceable. That’s where Newforma Konekt makes a difference.

Newforma helps simplify ISO 19650-compliant workflows by centralizing your project information—from 2D drawings to BIM models—so nothing falls through the cracks. You don’t need to overhaul your tech stack or add layers of complexity. Instead, Newforma brings structure to your existing tools and processes, supporting compliance, collaboration, and clarity at every stage.

You don’t need another platform that demands a new way of working. Newforma is purpose-built to fit into the tools and workflows you already use—whether that’s Outlook, Revit, AutoCAD, Procore, SharePoint, or Nasuni. Through open APIs, Newforma connects and streamlines information from multiple platforms without disrupting your current processes.

From design to delivery, your team can:

• Capture project data in full context

• Search across emails, models, documents, and workflows

• Automate manual document control tasks

• Stay in sync across project teams and systems

Whether your teams rely on 2D drawings, 3D models, or both, Newforma helps you manage that hybrid reality with confidence. You can track submittals, manage IFC files, mark up PDFs, and link design decisions to the original intent—all in one environment.

The ISO 19650 standard sets the framework for better information management across the project lifecycle. It’s about more than just file formats—it’s about creating a common data environment (CDE) where records are consistent, auditable, and accessible.

Newforma Konekt includes structured document control tools that align with ISO 19650, including naming conventions, controlled workflows, role-based access, and audit-ready logs. You don’t need to manage this manually or piece it together through third-party plugins. Everything is embedded in the Newforma environment—ready to use out of the box.

Here’s what your system needs—and how Newforma delivers: 

Newforma Konekt acts as an open Common Data Environment (CDE). Your files, drawings, and models are all accessible from one place with consistent metadata. 

Reviews, approvals, and releases follow a controlled process.  

Advanced permissions ensure the right people see the right content at the right time. 

Every change, comment, or action is tracked and logged. You get full visibility without extra effort. 

ISO 19650 requires a clear structure for how information flows—from creation to archiving. Newforma Konekt supports each stage with purpose-built tools:

Newforma goes beyond traditional file storage to give you structured, standards-based information management. That means no more second-guessing where a document is in the process, who approved it, or whether it’s the right version. Every action is traceable, every file is secure, and every workflow is ISO-aligned.

When you manage information properly from the start, you build trust across your team, your client, and your project lifecycle. That’s the true value of ISO 19650—and with Newforma, it’s easier than ever to achieve.
