The Information Delivery Manual (IDM) is a methodology that identifies the discrete processes that are undertaken within construction, as well as the information that is required to carry them out, and the results of the activity.

As well as providing a comprehensive reference to construction processes, IDM aims to provide the integrated reference for process and data required by Building Information Modeling (BIM). It helps provide the standard specifications for information structures to be supported by software solutions for the communication between processes.

In order for BIM to be used effectively, there needs to be improvement in the quality of communication between different participants in the construction process. For such communication to be improved there must be a common understanding of the building processes and of the information that is needed for, and results from, their execution.

For users of BIM, it aims to provide an easily understandable description of the following:

* Building construction processes – where they fit and why they are relevant.
* The requirements for information to be provided for the process to be carried out successfully.
* Who the parties are who create, consume and benefit from the information.
* Additional information that may be needed from the user.
* How the information should be supported by software solutions.
* The expected end results.

In addition to the above, the benefits of using IDM for BIM users are that it helps to improve the reliability of information exchange between the project participants. It also helps improve the information quality, decision making, and the effectiveness of a BIM project.

The benefits of using IDM for BIM software developers are that it identifies and describes the detailed functional breakdown of processes, which helps to better respond to user needs, as well as guarantee quality of information exchange.
