New standard for SMEs in the built environment sector
BSI, working with Innovate UK’s BridgeAI programme, is developing a new standard to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction and built environment sector use artificial intelligence (AI) more effectively.
The draft standard, PAS 1958 – Built environment Data and information standards landscape, aims to
- simplify the many data and information standards that already exist
- support better data management and decision-making
UK SMEs and professionals responsible for data or information management across construction and asset life cycles are invited to review the draft standard and provide feedback as part of a public consultation.
The consultation will close for responses on Friday 10 October 2025.
Take part in the consultation on the draft standard.
BSI will host a free webinar on 1 October 2025, offering an opportunity to hear more about the PAS 1958 standard from experts, explore how this and other standards can address sector challenges, and learn how to contribute to the consultation.
Register to join the BSI webinar.
