This document outlines Qatar’s BIM standards, focusing on project organisation, data structures, templates, file naming conventions, and software requirements. The Modelling and Data Management Guide provides guidelines for managing both graphical and non-graphical data within information models. These models must be shared between all stakeholders through a Common Data Environment (CDE) to ensure that project deliverables meet the required quality standards. The guide is project-specific and should be used alongside the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) for proper implementation.

This document standardises file-naming practices for BIM projects in Qatar, ensuring clarity and consistency. It specifies the file naming convention for BIM and CAD in all Ashghal projects across departments, adhering to international best practices and standards, such as ISO 19650.

The Qatar government’s BIM implementation hub provides a central resource for templates related to Building Information Modelling (BIM).

The Build Digital Project aims to transform the Irish construction and built environment sectors by enabling all stakeholders, particularly SMEs, clients, and suppliers, to develop, maintain, and continuously improve their capabilities as digitally enabled, standards-based, agile, collaborative, and sustainable participants in the delivery of Project Ireland 2040. Year 2 of Ireland’s BIM Mandate expands to include Contractors and Supply Chain for €100M+ projects and lowers the Design Team threshold to €20M, with resources available on the Build Digital Exchange Hub.

Written by an authorship team from the buildingSMART Germany community in 2023, the report explores digitalisation measures for the water industry to manage future tasks. An international working group of water utility players has reviewed the report and recognises its value as an introduction to the proposed program. The report is now being used to support the buildingSMART International ‘Call for Participation,’ aiming to attract more water utility players and establish a program of work focused on developing openBIM solutions for the sector.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) was commissioned by Ofwat to assess the water industry’s progress on Open Data in response to H2Open. The process involved developing an assessment framework in collaboration with Ofwat, water companies, and stakeholders. Key steps included desktop research on Open Data maturity models, organising workshops with industry stakeholders to refine the framework, and creating a comprehensive questionnaire to gather company responses. The evaluation was based on these responses, with one-page summaries highlighting best practices and use cases.
