Do you believe construction firms should adopt standardized global data frameworks for building projects?
Kahua secured the BSI Kitemark certification for its BIM software, validating the platform against ISO 19650 standards. The certification confirms that the software meets specific requirements for managing information across the lifecycle of built assets.
Why it matters
Contractors and project owners face increasing pressure to maintain consistent, governed information throughout complex capital programs. This certification provides objective assurance that their information management systems support these requirements at scale.
The BSI Kitemark certification confirms that Kahua’s software aligns with ISO 19650 protocols, covering parts 1, 2, 5, and 6 of the international information management framework. This assessment evaluates platform functionality, security, user support, development, and resilience.
The players
Kahua
A provider of construction project management software that centralizes project data, commercial processes, and cost management.
BSI
An international business standards organization that develops and manages certification frameworks for industrial and software processes.
The details
Kahua functions as a Common Data Environment, linking project information to commercial and cost processes through configurable workflows. By meeting ISO 19650 standards, the platform ensures that lifecycle data is governed within a single, consistent environment. This helps operators mitigate risk during information handoffs between design, construction, and operational phases.
Timeline

Market Landscape
This certification aligns Kahua’s software environment with the broader adoption of the ISO 19650 information management framework. It follows a trend of increasing demand for third-party validation of digital platforms that manage sensitive asset data in capital projects.
Construction owners and contractors should incorporate third-party certifications like the BSI Kitemark into their vendor risk assessment protocols. Verify if your current project management software providers meet these governance standards to ensure data reliability throughout the asset lifecycle.
The takeaway
Operators must look for objective, international benchmarks when selecting platforms that handle critical project data. Review your software providers’ current security and governance certifications to ensure they meet the specific requirements of the ISO 19650 framework.
