With the aim of understanding the degree of progress in the implementation of BIM in Latin America and the main actions that have been carried out, CAF—development bank of Latin America—promoted the development of a survey of information on this methodology. in the region. This survey includes a diagnosis of the progress of BIM implementation at the national level in different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is important to highlight that this diagnosis presents the specific state of progress of the period of its development, between January and May 2022, so, at the time of reading, it may not coincide in some aspects with the current situation of the countries.
State institutions in different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have begun to implement BIM, in order to more accurately calculate the costs and times of the projects, as well as generate more fluid communication between the different actors involved. increasing the efficiency and transparency of processes. Internationally, a series of cases demonstrate the benefits of implementing BIM. Among them, one in the United States where, after its implementation in 32 projects, it identified: i) a 7% reduction in time, ii) a 10% reduction in costs through early detection of interference, iii) ) the elimination of 40% of the changes not considered, and iv) and the reduction of 80% of the time for cost estimation. The Physical Infrastructure and Digital Transformation Management generated this guide with the objective of promoting knowledge about the implementation of the BIM methodology in the public sphere. It explains what BIM is, identifies the minimum steps for its implementation in a public institution, and provides simple tools for public officials to integrate it into their institutions.
This document indicates how information management aligned with ISO 19650 will be carried out on the Aeropuerto del Café project.
The BIM Fundamentals document is part of the reference documentary framework for the “Plan for the incorporation of the BIM methodology in public procurement of the General State Administration (AGE)” that the Interministerial Commission is producing.
Approval of PlanBIM and the gradual introduction of mandatory BIM requirements on Public procurement from 2024
Website for annual national BIM conferences in Greece. The 2023 event saw the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport announce that “”in the immediate future, the National Strategic Plan and the Road Map for the Implementation of Building Information Modeling in Greece are expected to be put up for consultation”
In order to define the future strategic direction of standardization in the field of BIM, DIN has published the BIM standardization roadmap together with partners from business, science, the public sector and society. The task of the roadmap is to show prerequisites for the development of a broad application of BIM for practice.
The industrial strategy highlights the need for a green, digital and sustainable construction ecosystem. Several other European initiatives emphasize the role of construction in achieving goals such as renewal, circularity, climate adaptation and mitigation or employment. EC legislative initiatives, directly or indirectly related to construction, introduce changes in the industrial ecosystem.
