Introduction to BIM Methodology is an open, free of charge and asynchronous e-learning course that allows participants to acquire BIM methodology-based knowledge, and to develop the skills required to understand and apply the BIM Standard for Public Projects. This initiative was developed by Planbim, and funded by Corfo (Chilean Economic Development Agency) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
This web page presents information about the Chilean strategy for BIM implementation in the AECO industry, called Planbim, which considers the gradual incorporation of BIM requirements in public projects, from 2020 onwards.
These videos (English and Spanish versions) describe the main objectives and goals of the National BIM Program of Chile, called Planbim. In 2016, the Chilean State elaborated a roadmap to increase the productivity of the construction sector, considering the implementation of BIM in public projects, gathering support from several ministries and public institutions. In this context, Planbim was created as the government’s initiative that leads this process, promoting the use of BIM to increase productivity and sustainability in the AECO industry. Planbim is a part of Corfo (Chilean Economic Development Agency), which depends on the Ministry of Economy.
The association Odborná rada pro BIM, z. s. was founded in 2011 and is an independent private sector platform for the popularization, cooperation, standardization and development of BIM in the Czech Republic.
Planbim’s lines of action are: institutionality and strategy, standardization, human capital, enabling technologies, communication and engagement.
CCI is aiming to increase construction productivity through a collaborative digital information infrastructure (CCI classification system) to enable consistent data exchange. Based on international standards and developed for digital processes, CCI covers the whole built environment: buildings, infrastructure and other civil engineering works and throughout the lifecycle – from planning through design, execution, operation, demolition to removal and reuse.
The CZ BIM Framework aims to support BIM adoption in the Czech Republic’s public sector and construction, helping organizations of all sizes on their journey of digital transformation.
Special strategy, guidance and standards for transport infrastructure organizations (highways, railways), related to the main Czech’s national BIM strategy.
The Government’s BIM Strategy was published in September 2017 to stimulate the public sector and to support the digital transformation and growth of the construction sector. It was prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, working closely with Czech BIM Council experts. Within the Strategy, a key element for reducing costs, cutting waste and avoiding errors is the adoption of the Building Information Management (BIM), which makes the most of digital technologies to provide a consistent flow of information and measurable standards at all stages of the construction life cycle, including asset and facility management.
Digital Czechia is a set of concepts and implementation plans ensuring the preconditions for the long-term prosperity of the Czech Republic in the environment of the ongoing digital revolution. Its content can be defined as “Strategy of coordinated and comprehensive digitization of the Czech Republic 2018+”.
