Philippine Geoportal Project intends to hold serve to participating stakeholders all base maps NAMRIA produces eventually all fundamental thematic datasets of other data producing agencies. Promote participation of various data producers stakeholders in terms of providing location attribute information. Build-up of data content Development of other GIS based applications will be done in succeeding phases. Geoportal Philippines (GeoPH) used to find access geospatial data services. Philippine Geoportal advocates use of standard multiscale basemaps serve as tools for strategic planning decision making situational analysis other common requirements. Philippine Extended Continental Shelf Delineation Project geared towards meeting UN Commission on Limits of Continental Shelf requirements. Philippine Reference System (PRS) 92 serves as country’s standard reference system for all surveys mapping activities. Serves as fundamental component of country’s spatial data infrastructure. Role of PRS92 provide medium through which data sets used for planning generated through implementation of different multi-sectoral programs projects can be inter-related geographically. Geodetic Network Development: main activity densification of PRS92 network. Philippine Active Geodetic Network (PAGeNet) network of permanently-installed continuously operating geodetic reference stations utilize signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provide real-time high-precision geographic position data to users via Internet. NAMRIA can provide public with surveying mapping services training on GIS technical assistance on GIS development certifications to various data technical equipment. As of 2021 NAMRIA completed 954,213 sq km (58%) bathymetric data as part hydrographic survey Exclusive Economic Zone, 304,380 sq km (52%) bathymetric data hydrographic survey archipelagic waters sea lanes, hydrographic survey 40 ports harbors assisted LGUs in delineation

Philippine National Spatial Data Infrastructure (PNSDI) realized through development of Philippine Geoportal: One Nation One Map Project in later part 2011. Philippine Geoportal e-government-funded project aims develop web portal provides platform for sharing integration access to geospatial information using common multi-scale base map. NAMRIA as Agency advocates establishment of national spatial data infrastructure took lead implementing project alongside various government agencies stakeholders in geospatial community. Project envisioned to continue in three phases focusing on five developmental components: Data Policy Standards ICT Resources Human Resources Partnerships. Continuous updating of Philippine Gazetteer being under by NAMRIA. Geographic names database contains updated standardized geographic names of all geographic features based on 1:50,000-scale topographic maps. Geoportal offers various applications cater to data needs of users in field of disaster risk management land use planning infrastructure management surveying. Partnerships collaboration inherent in establishment of PNSDI. Partnerships in PNSDI can be in form of data sharing development of information systems capability building through training research opportunities. May be shaped among agencies of government with private sector academe international partners. As country’s authoritative source of primary reference/framework datasets NAMRIA embarked on projects ensure modernization of Philippine Geodetic Reference System provision of quality topographic hydrographic other thematic datasets. Land Management Bureau (LMB) government agency responsible for cadastral mapping started building digital cadastral database. Other Agencies continued with building their respective geospatial datasets for use in various applications including disaster management environmental management health land use. NAMRIA play critical role in present administration’s directive establish national geospatial database for natural resources. Philippine Active Geodetic Network (PAGeNET) to 55 active geodetic stations nationwide, densified land gravity observations with 8,168 gravity stations, conducted troubleshooting level network 3,356 km level lines releveled. Completed 12,600 map sheets at 1:10,000 scale, 2,583 map sheets 1:4,000 scale, 675 map sheets (1st cycle) 60 map sheets (2nd cycle) medium-scale maps 1:50,000

July 17, 2019 ResearchGate. BIM modern approach process used in AEC industry enhances planning design construction of facilities. Considered as one of most promising advancements in AEC industry. Usage in other countries become prevalent benefits remarkable in terms of reduction of time cost material wastage. Philippines on other hand exposed to BIM concept however not widely used nor utilized to leverage benefits of achieving effective efficient construction management process. Study identifies prospects benefits of use of BIM along with challenges acceptance in Philippine construction industry. Benefits challenges of using BIM to attain lean construction along with roadblocks constraints issues of its implementation in Philippine construction industry identified. BIM groundbreaking technology significantly impacts construction industry by providing digital representation of building’s entire lifecycle. Increased collaboration productivity accuracy particularly in fragmented construction industry. BIM crucial for cost control meeting deadlines minimizing project impact. Used in various fields including construction monitoring management supervision lifecycle management. Challenges: integration with other systems large data consumption stakeholder familiarity BIM’s complexity technical challenges lack of standards need further improvement. BIM essential for fostering innovation efficiency sustainability in built environment. Proper knowledge of implementation adaptation to other digital technologies essential proper guideline for implementation phase data consumption should be established

December 2022 analysis: Almost 90% BIM implementation in real estate, 10% in infrastructure. Curious because first regulated are public projects (mostly infrastructure) where less progress made. Public sector: agreed National BIM Strategy transition underway, increasingly requiring BIM in tenders, still long way to go. National BIM Strategy establishes progressive transition for national projects: by 2023 35-50% of public construction projects require BIM, by 2026 100% of public projects use technology. Oracle BIM tools fundamental in infrastructure projects affecting many people, important anticipate errors/risks. ‘Great advance in BIM technology in infrastructure sector, before only related to architecture/design, today thanks to national regulations use in infrastructure encouraged’ – Natalia Magatti, Regional Lead Women in BIM, Oracle Latin America.

March 2024 research demonstrates BIM implementation level in Colombian construction industry through survey. Concluded: BIM methodology implementation in Colombia INCIPIENT without full industry implementation. Many enterprises continue traditional methods, however benefits in companies where implemented are evident. Statistically significant differences found in BIM maturity/knowledge variables among groups (enterprise type, organizational levels). Collaborative strategies could reduce barriers: lack of knowledge, extra costs, fear of change. Related research: BIM maturity relationship with value generated in Colombian construction projects, influence of BIM in viability of medium/small/micro construction firms, lean construction and BIM in value chain, gender perception in construction sector Colombian case.

BIM KIT: collection of documents (guides, templates, matrices) providing tools for successful/correct BIM implementation. Seeks to contribute technical knowledge and consolidate common language among value chain actors. 13 technical guides across 3 volumes, started consolidating 2019 by Camacol and BIM Forum Colombia. Since 2023 Camacol/BIM Forum updating kit (construction industry evolution, digitalization focus for productivity improvement via BIM methodology). Users describe collection as highly useful tools regarding applicability, scope, market relevance, demonstrates Colombia’s maturity in BIM implementation methodology. Kit guides organizations/professionals step-by-step. Goes beyond definitions/functions, offers integrative vision connecting BIM profiles with existing organizational structure. Documents detail complete technical framework for successful company implementation.
