How to Create a Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) in Plannerly
This guide explains how to create a MIDP using Plannerly’s Scope and Docs modules, fully aligned with ISO 19650 workflows. You’ll learn how to start from scratch, use templates, collaborate on Task Information Delivery Plans (TIDPs), and export combined deliverables.

📘 ISO 19650 Alignment
According to ISO 19650, the Master Information Delivery Plan (MIDP) brings together all the individual Task Information Delivery Plans (TIDPs) across all appointed parties.
Plannerly naturally aligns to this workflow:
- Define information requirements (EIRs, AIR, OIR) using structured templates
- Create TIDPs as deliverable-based tasks with responsible parties
- Roll-up to a MIDP automatically inside the Scope module
- Assign milestones, dependencies, and durations
- Validate deliverables using checklists, file placeholders, and automated verification
- Export combined documentation for contracting and delivery

🚀 Starting From Scratch: Building Your MIDP
1. Create a New Project
Start by creating a project in Plannerly: Plannerly - The BIM Management Platform.
2. Open the Scope Module
This is where you define all project deliverables, responsibilities, milestones, and information needs.
3. Add Tasks for Required Deliverables
Using the narrative from the video, your tasks might include items such as:
- Lifecycle analysis
- Floor plans, elevations, or sheets
- Cost plans, schedules, method statements
- Visualizations or AR/VR assets
Each task becomes a line item in your TIDP. Plannerly automatically aggregates these into the MIDP.
4. Assign Responsibilities
Select who must deliver each piece of information. For example:
- Architect delivers visualizations
- Contractor delivers method statements
- MEP Engineer delivers system models
5. Configure LOI, LOD & Document Types
For each task, define requirements such as:
- Level of Information (LOI)
- Level of Detail (LOD)
- Expected file type (e.g., IFC, RVT, MP4)
6. Add Checklists & Conditions of Satisfaction
From the video and captions:
“These are all customizable… a checklist might include 'Do this' and 'Do this too' and are attached to the task.”
7. Attach File Placeholders for Delivery
As shown in the video:
“When the architect has this ready, they can simply upload it to this placeholder or drag and drop into the File Manager.”
8. Add Milestones and Timeline Dependencies
Switch to the timeline view to schedule your plan:
“We can start putting dependencies between them… putting dates and durations… move tasks around.”
9. Export the Combined MIDP
Finally, you can combine the MIDP with your Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), BEP, and other docs:
“Select the document, add the grid of requirements, timeline, add a cover page and hit create… everything is nicely formatted and hyperlinked.”
