ageBIM (Asociación Guatemalteca de Estándares BIM) are a non-profit association that seeks to foster dialogue between the public-private sectors and academia to create a smart digital economy that transforms the way cities are planned, built and managed. Their main objective is to help the construction sector to take the fundamental step towards digital transformation, channelling technical concerns, knowledge and information related to BIM, also constituting an instance of development, dissemination and good practices to “improve the productivity of the country” and technological development in the sector. The associations mission is to develop the communication and correct implementation of methodologies and technologies in the industry, to provide transparency in the process of building the physical and digital infrastructure of Guatemala. They have a vision to be the leading organization in the digital transformation of the construction industry through standardization and continuous improvement that derive from the implementation of new methodologies, processes and technologies. The Guatemala Association for BIM Standardisation is a membership group whose website signposts and advertises all of the current work going on in the group. This web page contains lots of detail about BIM in Guatemala in the form of a blog list as well as lots of information contained in the News section of the site.

The facebook page of the ageBIM group advertises all of the latest news and events as well as providing a host for many videos which the association have published. This facebook page should be read in conjunction with the main agebim.org.gt website however the facebook page is usually updated more frequently than the main site.

The Croatian Chamber of Architects was established in June 2009. It originated from the professional class of architects of the former Croatian Chamber of Architects and Civil Engineers, which operated from 19998 to July 2009. The Chamber is a legal entity with public authority based in Zagreb. The website contains information listed under the headings Directories, Chamber, Laws & Regulations, Tenders, Members only, Professional Development, and Newsletter Archive.

Serving as the business voice of Canada’s BIM community, CanBIM represents, supports, and advocates on behalf of the entire Architectural, Engineering, Construction, Owner, Operator and Educational community to build a positive business environment for the effective deployment of BIM, for all engaged in utilizing BIM in Canada. The Canada BIM Council, or “CanBIM” as it is now known, was formed in 2008 by a small group of progressive organisations. Although these companies came from many different disciplines and were from across Canada, they all shared the common goal to steer their companies, their partners, and the wider industry to adopt new and efficient BIM/VDC processes and methodologies. They wanted to create a national beacon to attract people and firms from across the industry that understood the impact that new technology was having on the industry, and how this new way of thinking would radically change the ways they work. CanBIMÂ’s Mission is to provide their membership with leadership, advocacy, educational and engagement opportunities around best practices for digital technologies and processes. Their vision is to advance civilization and improve the built environment through developing a robust community of industry-leading practitioners from building and infrastructure industry, who are proactively engaged in the effective deployment of digital technologies and processes. The website contains a wealth of resources from 2017 to date, and various articles on a wide range of subjects. There are three main documents published on the CanBIM website in addition to their yearly spotlight on innovation reports. These additional documents include: – Ontario General Contractors Association Guide to Construction and Design Technology (Jan/2022) – Building Information Modelling for Wood Buildings, An Introductory Guide (11/2021) – Building the Canada We Want in 2050 (07/2021)

IM Forum Panama is a permanent technical council, which brings together the main professionals and institutions related to BIM in Panama. BIM Forum Panama, seeks to channel technical concerns, knowledge and information related to BIM, also constituting an instance of development, dissemination and good practices for technological development in the construction sector. The purposes of BIM Forum Panama are purely technical and it meets under the coordination of the BIM Technical Commission based in the Panamanian Chamber of Construction (CAPAC), an entity that exercises its Executive Secretariat. In addition to CAPAC, representatives of the Panamanian Society of Engineers and Architects, the University of Panama, the Technological University of Panama and the Santa María la Antigua University participate in the BIM Forum Panama as members of the commission. BIM Forum Panama is an instance of voluntary participation that brings together companies and professionals who can contribute their knowledge and experiences to the improvement of techniques related to BIM.

The purpose of BIM Forum Panama is to become a promoter and facilitator of the adoption and implementation of BIM systems in the construction industry, through climbing training, the generation of initiatives, projects, activities and standards that add value to companies and professionals. This is achieved through the following group objectives:

– Collaborate with academic entities and other institutions, in the formation of capacities and competences related to BIM. Starting from a diagnosis or baseline of the state of the industry in terms of management of the processes of the construction cycle.

– Promote the dissemination and technology transfer related to BIM in Panama.

– Develop relationships and collaboration with national and international entities related to BIM.

– Promote and generate research, development, consolidation of knowledge, product libraries and technical information related to BIM in Panama.

– Generate nationally recognized standards for the development of projects with the use of BIM throughout its life cycle.

Project Norway (Prosjekt Norge) is owned by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), with several other groups acting as academic partners. In addition, all state development agencies are partners, together with contractors, consulting companies and the Oil and Gas sector. Project Norway is set up as a national centre of expertise for the development of future project processes through research and knowledge sharing. The centre’s ambition is that project-based industries in Norway will be at the forefront internationally in value-creating and cost-effective project execution.

Its purpose is to initiate research and establish arenas for knowledge and experience sharing between academia, agencies such as asset owners and the business sector as suppliers within project-oriented activities. The project has a goal to support the continuous improvement of project execution among its partners by contributing to:

• Better and common development processes with our partners
• Create professional development in collaboration with the partners
• Create increased quality and added value for the partners
• Invite new developments through collaboration across the sectors
• Link the development of new knowledge more closely with project managers and owners.

Digitalisation is about establishing a basis for automatic information exchange between people, systems and machines. It’s about creating an information ecosystem where all systems’ generated information is utilised to streamline and optimise all processes. Project Norway is working to identify how digitalisation will help the Norwegian construction industry. Digitalisation will provide new opportunities to leverage available information to:

• Streamline and automate processes
• Optimise and foster development
• Share available information in order to take act faster and improve processes
• Share available information in order to improve analysis and decision-making.
