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.

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.
