Developed by the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat – PUPR) in collaboration with Institut BIM Indonesia (iBIMi), this guide was created to assist organisations in adopting and implementing BIM. It recommends that BIM adoption and implementation plans be supported and supervised by senior management and evaluated regularly in order to guide an organisation’s migration toward digitalisation.
This document can be updated and evaluated according to scale, structure and organisational size.
This framework was published under the ‘Support Skills Development and Develop Appropriate Tools’ workstream of the Digital Building Transition Plan (PTNB). It allows trainers to develop BIM courses that are suited to the real needs of contractors and construction companies.
The stages in the life of a building have been broken down into about 20 activities that may involve members of the project management or companies. Each activity is associated with the skills specific to the stage of the project and to the project management or construction professionals. Skills are 4 to 14 per activity, to which must be added transversal skills for all the activities. These skills are broken down into knowledge and know-how. They are described and presented according to the recommendations of the National Commission for Professional Certification (CNCP).
This freely accessible document was published under the ‘Building Trust in Digital’ workstream of the Digital Building Transition Plan (PTNB). It was developed by digital construction specialists and uses an automated form to support the preparation of BIM agreements.
Published in Word or Excel, it covers all the sections to be developed in a BIM agreement and offers a questionnaire to help draft the sections, so they are appropriate to the project. Processes common to all BIM projects are also included. To create a bespoke agreement, the BIM management team only has to complete the fields indicated with the characteristics of their project.
The Polish Association of Construction Employers (Polski ZwiÄ…zek Pracodawców Budownictwa – PZPB) is a nationwide organisation grouping companies from the infrastructure and construction industry, which together generate over PLN 50 billion of the value of construction and assembly production in Poland and employ over 50,000 people. Among the PZPB member companies there are 13 of the 15 largest enterprises dealing with comprehensive investment implementation, development companies, specialised design companies, companies producing construction products, machines, providing technologies and others related to the infrastructure and construction sector.
This study presents the results of several years of social work on Polish BIM standards intended for public investments in construction, tentatively named BIM Standard PL. The project began in 2014, when an agreement was signed between the Polish Association of Construction Engineers and Technicians (PZITB), the Association of Polish Architects (SARP) and the Chief Construction Supervision Office (GUNB) regarding cooperation in legislative processes related to construction, with one of the topics being BIM.
As a result of this agreement, under the aegis of PZITB and SARP, a think tank called V4 BIM Task Group was established, which gathered a group of the experts in the field of BIM to formulate the Polish path to BIM implementation. Three main goals were identified: implementation of BIM in public investments in construction, staff education and standardisation of BIM processes. The year 2025 was indicated as the deadline.
BIM Standard PL started in 2018 with the signature of a declaration of cooperation between PZITB, the Polish Association of Construction Employers (PZPB), SARP and Budimex, Skanska, Warbud and Porr to develop a draft of BIM standards for public investments in construction. It is intended as a comprehensive BIM manual for investment, management and construction professionals mainly in the public sector. BIM Standard PL is addressed both to the ordering party and contractors, with particular emphasis on good preparation of the BIM information process and correct implementation. Due to the different level of BIM competences among potential users, BIM Standard PL is not only defining the standards but also offers educational materials to acquire BIM competences. This document is not an official standard but a proposal, made available for market evaluation and discussion.
The Ministry of Development & technology for Poland has appointed a BIM working group and steering committee. The group and committee developed BIM templates to support the implementation of digital ways of working in public projects in residential construction. These are universal document templates to be used in public and private construction projects.
This set of 12 BIM templates were created by involving all stakeholders (designers, engineers, general contractors, ministries, etc.), which had the opportunity to submit comments and proposals for solutions to be used in these documents.
The BIM set includes:
- BIM Lexicon
- BIM Requirements Template (EIR) Overview
- BIM Requirements Template (EIR)
- BIM Plan (BEP) template overview
- BIM Plan Template (BEP)
- Table of production and supply of models (Template, overview, example)
- BIM annex to the contract.
These BIM templates should be used as a proposal for the layout of documents and their minimum content, which will allow for the proper implementation of BIM to meet all the project and organisational requirements. These templates can be adapted to suit a project.
Norwegian State Railways (Bane NOR) is a state-owned enterprise responsible for the national railway infrastructure, subject to the Ministry of Transport and Communications. Its purpose is to provide accessible rail infrastructure and efficient and user-friendly services, including hub and freight terminal development.
Bane NOR is responsible for planning, development, management, operation and maintenance of the national railway network, traffic management and management and development of railway property. It has the operational coordination responsibility for safety work and operational responsibility for crisis management. It is initiating an improvement programme to standardise deliveries and information flow of development projects upon handover to the operating organisation.
The purpose of this requirement document is to specify what information will be produced and provided in connection with the deliverables in a recent major road/rail project (FRE16). It was a prerequisite that information created as part of this project should in a later phase be able to be managed and operated by Bane NOR and the road organisations operational applications. The information should be delivered in order to set a standard that the industry can work to on future projects. In addition, the contractor is responsible for providing the necessary documentation together with the deliverables, and in accordance with the Contract.
The requirement document covers the following specifications:
- Definitions
- Requirements for model structures
- Requirements for information content on objects in models, related to the work and delivery.
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen – SVV) is a government agency responsible for national and county public roads in Norway. This includes planning, construction and operation of the national and county road networks, driver training and licensing, vehicle inspection, and subsidies to car ferries. The agency is led by the Directorate of Public Roads (Vegdirektoratet), and is subordinate to the Ministry of Transport and Communications. It is divided into five regions and 30 districts, which are subordinate to the directorate.
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration decided to revise and merge the manuals V770 Model basis and R700 Drawing Basis into a new guideline. It will be mandatory to follow the methods described in the new guideline. This means that 3D modelling based on quality-assured basic data becomes the norm in all road projects. The agency shall also focus on standardising information in the models, and courses and training materials will be developed for these methods.
Handbook V770 is a guidance document specifying the requirements for basic data and models. It sets requirements for how basic data and models are to be ordered, prepared and delivered in road projects. This handbook should contribute to:
- Clear quality requirements for basic data
- 3D engineering in all subjects
- Standardised description of objects
- Standardised description of models
- Use of open, standardised formats
- Use of models as a working basis in the construction phase
- Standardisation of final documentation from project phases.
Statsbygg is the Norwegian state’s key advisor in construction and real estate matters, including property owners, managers and developers.
All projects in Statsbygg are, unless otherwise agreed, submitted in accordance with the requirements of Statsbygg’s BIM manual. Machine validation of model files makes it possible to assess the progress of model and quality of model deliverables related to the project phase.
A system called SIMBA compares reviews models against Statsbygg’s BIM requirements. SIMBA X refers to SIMBA requirement set templates for existing buildings. It is intended for use when buildings have already been built and there is a need to create an object model (BIM) of the built asset. The source of data for such a model can be various forms of scan (laser, photogrammetry), relevant DWG drawing sets, various forms of FDV documentation, surveys and inspections or a combination of these elements.
The purpose of creating the model may be general so that BIM can be used to provide information about the building or it may be due to specific needs related to management, in particular land and volume management, ongoing operation and planned maintenance, or disposal and circular economy. SIMBA X is the “base” requirement set, which assumes that the only source of data for creating the model (BIM) is a scan. It contains requirements for the correct use of object types, and a few selected properties that can be set on the basis of the scan.

A system called SIMBA compares reviews models against Statsbygg’s BIM requirements. SIMBA 2.0 contains a completely new set of requirements (claim set templates), regardless of requirements in previous BIM manuals (although relevant requirements from previous documents in many cases have been continued), and the claims sets are set up only for intended use against IFC4 models.
The set of requirements also includes a new methodology for communicating the need for information on given objects between the disciplines. In addition, a number of requirements have been added for the purpose of being able to reuse information in the BIM model throughout the project and the building’s lifecycle.
The Croatian Chamber of Civil Engineers (Hrvatska Komora Inženjera Građevinarstva) is an independent professional organisation of certified civil engineers, construction engineers, head of works, and other construction professionals based in the Republic of Croatia. The chamber is set up for people who perform the tasks of the regulated profession, in accordance with special regulations governing the performance of activities in the field of zoning and construction.
The Croatian Chamber of Civil Engineers represents its members and their interests. It seeks to improve engineering activities in order to protect the public interest and interests of third parties. It preserves the reputation, honour and rights of certified civil engineers, and provides conditions for the proper performance of design and/or professional supervision of construction.
This document was produced by the Chamber of Civil Engineers to enable and support the adoption of BIM on projects. The guidelines cover the introduction to BIM and how it can be used in Croatian projects. They also explain the full information management and data exchange process alongside how models can be used on projects. The guidance can be used by organisations to make their first steps towards the introduction of BIM.
