In a previous article we covered the\u00a0Global BIM Network\u2019s first General Assembly,<\/a>\u00a0which was attended by over 300 public sector and multilateral representatives from 71 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0General Assembly Report<\/a>\u00a0introduced the activities and achievements of the Network, whose Steering Committee comprises representatives from Europe, Latin America, Asia, North America and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latin American countries have been developing BIM programmes at pace in the past five years, leading to the creation of national strategies to support its adoption. In 2020, Colombia signed a memorandum of understanding with the UK Government, which enabled knowledge exchange involving UK consultants, academics and industry, and developed its own Roadmap. In Chile, the state and private sector came together in 2016 to define a vision of a public policy: PlanBIM was devised using the state\u2019s purchasing power to digitalise the entire construction industry with the aim to increase productivity and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Claudia Suaznabar, Lead Specialist, Inter-American Development Bank, cost efficiency is the main driving force for the growing interest in BIM by governments in Latin America, as well its benefit of ensuring transparency in public works\u2019 projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the General Assembly, representatives from individual countries within Latin America – Daniel G\u00f3mez, Deputy Director, National Planning Department, Colombia; Sebasti\u00e1n Manriquez, Subdirector, PlanBIM of CORFO, Chile; Valentina Sarmiento Buitrago, Head of the Productivity Team, Ministry of Housing, City and Territory, Colombia and Jonathan Bernal, Director of Infrastructure and Sustainable Energy, Colombia \u2013 presented their BIM journey, including national strategies and how being part of the Global BIM Network helped them to share their experiences with other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latin America is fairly represented in our\u00a0Information Collection<\/a> , which gathers and disseminate resources shared by members of the Network through an open-source knowledge base. The resources, organised geographically, are structured under four pillars:\u00a0Public leadership (BIM policy, legislation, programmes and strategy); Collaborative framework (legal, procurement, technical references, guidance and templates); Communication and communities (communities of practice, media publications and websites) and Capability and capacity building (training and case studies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have currently\u00a031 items for Latin America<\/a>, with more to be published, following an ongoing Call for Knowledge launched in August 2021.\u00a0These include, for instance, documents and standards for public projects, developed by PlanBIM in Chile,\u00a0such as the\u00a0National BIM Strategy<\/a>, the\u00a0National BIM Goals 2020 and 2025<\/a>, and an\u00a0Open E-learning Course: Introduction to BIM Methodology<\/a>,\u00a0funded by Corfo, the Chilean Economic Development Agency and the Inter-American Development Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red BIM de Gobiernos Latinoamericanos (Red BIM Gob Latam<\/a>), a network of representatives from the public sector in Latin American countries, is also represented. Its members include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside national policies and technical standards for public sector projects, resources for Latin America include training courses, reports on BIM maturity, publications and websites of trade and professional organisations (such as construction chambers), legislation, digital transformation plans, implementation guides, templates and information repositories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latin American countries currently represented in the Information Collection are Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Peru; more resources will be published in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
