BIM was initially mainly used as a 3D model, coupled with standardized, validated information from structures in the design phase. Today, BIM is applied much more widely. Applying BIM can now also mean that the model with construction information is used across project phases, that it is passed on, or collaborated in by more parties in the construction chain. In civil engineering, some clients have chosen a different approach route. These clients focus on the information about the building, linked to a geographical file and not directly on the 3D representation. The emphasis is on exchanging current, standardized and validated information during the life cycle with construction partners and within the organization using open BIM standards and libraries. All of this change needs updates to the legal situation around BIM. This leaflet explains over two pages the key facts to consider when looking at the legal aspect of BIM.

BIM Loket is working towards a sector in which working with BIM and open standards is the norm. As part of this they need to develop information and training related to BIM to upskill the industry and increase the capability to deliver these requirements. The BIM Loket website contains lots of information and support documentation like this short film and selection of case studies related to BIM in practice.
BIM is a collection of technical solutions to exchange construction data. But BIM is above all a new way of working together within construction and infrastructure. This resource asks, what does it actually mean to work with BIM? And what bumps should you take? And what’s in it for you? The short film “Secretly quite a big change” gives you a look behind the scenes of three large clients who have a number of years of experience with BIM. In addition to this video there are also 3 BIM case studies looking at Schiphol airport, Rotterdam and Gelderland.
The Construction Industry Council (CIC) of Hong Kong was set up with the main function of forging consensus on long-term strategic issues, conveying the industryÂ’s needs and aspirations to Government, as well as providing a communication channel for Government to solicit advice on all construction-related matters. The CIC developed itself as a Centre of Excellence for BIM, formulating strategies for market transformation and promoting cross-discipline collaboration and wider adoption of BIM. The CIC provides support to the industry in five aspects, promotion on BIM adoption, training, standards, guidelines and specifications, BIM personnel certification and BIM courses accreditation, and BIM-related researches using the CIC Research Fund.
With the support of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and other stakeholders of the local construction industry, BIM adoption in Hong Kong has grown in size, span and depth in recent years. The growing project BIM information flow requires suitable application software and hardware, BIM standards and in particular personnel with suitable BIM skills to manage and coordinate the projects.
To address the expectation of the industry, the CIC has prepared samples of job duties, qualifications and experience requirements for recruitment of BIM Managers, BIM Coordinators and BIM Modellers. The prospective employers are free to adjust the reference material to suit the size, nature and complexity of their projects and the requirement of individual posts.

The Kazakh Research and Design Institute of Construction and Architecture began in 1931, it was then the Council of People’s Commissars of the Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (KASSR). In January 1990, on the basis of the scientific part of the Kazakh State Design and Research Institute (KazpromstroyNII project), the Kazakh Research and Design-Experimental Institute of Earthquake-Resistant Construction and Architecture (KazNIISSA) was established. Since 1990, KazNIISSA has been the only leading state research and design organization in the Republic on the problems of the construction complex of Kazakhstan, including areas with particularly complex engineering and geological conditions and regions prone to earthquakes. The group have formed the Commission for the Development of the Regulatory and Technical Framework in the Field of Information Modeling Technology in Construction. The framework for this is strengthening intergovernmental relations and resolving issues related to integration processes, the Basic Organization of the CIS Member States was established by the decision of the CIS Economic Council in order to pursue a coordinated policy in the field of technical regulation and create a unified regulatory framework in the field of construction.
The concept of introducing information modeling technology into industrial and civil construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan was developed in order to meet modern requirements and demands of the industry, also in the face of increasing competition in world markets, tightening requirements for new or existing construction projects, increasing the technological, structural and architectural complexity of modern buildings and structures, as well as the rapid development of information technology. The shortcomings of the two-dimensional design that has passed from the past technological era and further work with paper drawings do not provide sufficient manoeuvrability and resource efficiency for market participants. The introduction of information modeling of building objects implies the transition of the construction industry to a new technology that changes the nature of the work. The purpose of the Concept is to formulate a vision and create conditions for the development of the domestic construction industry through the transfer of modern technologies for information modeling of construction projects, which should subsequently have a positive impact on the growth of competitiveness in foreign markets of enterprises.
