The Agency for Roads and Traffic (Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer, AWV) manages about 7,000 km of regional and motorway roads and more than 7,700 km of bicycle paths. Within AWV, the central ‘Planning and Coordination’ department, and more specifically the ‘Team BIM’, is responsible for drawing up and executing the ‘AIM-BIM program’. The BIM Team works closely with experts from the territorial AWV departments and external experts to build up the Object Types Library (OTL) for the various technical disciplines and to develop the BIM guidelines for investment projects and assignments for management and maintenance.
The importance of BIM and digital collaboration in the construction sector is growing, especially for infrastructure projects. As a road manager, AWV wants to guide and support the adoption of BIM, both for collaboration during the study and implementation of projects, and for the use of intelligent information models during further management and maintenance. The AWV knows that this cannot be done in isolation, but that the constructive cooperation with all project partners is crucial for the success of the BIM process. The website disseminates information, FAQ’s and other important documents related to AWV’s BIM implementation plans.
The Rt. Hon Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the UK Minister of State for Business, Energy and Clean Growth addresses an international audience of over 90 countries at the inaugural Global BIM Summit to launch the Global BIM Network for the public sector. The event was held virtually on 17 March 2021.

This video explains how the integration of BIM requirements with the online building permits platform called DOM en LÃnea, which is one of Planbim’s goals for 2025, is being designed and developed. The automated evaluation of projects’ compliance with urban requirements using IFC files will give DOM workers more time to review more complex aspects of projects, and assure projects comply with urban regulations.

This web page presents information about the Chilean strategy for BIM implementation in the AECO industry, called Planbim, which considers the gradual incorporation of BIM requirements in public projects, from 2020 onwards.
Planbim’s lines of action are: institutionality and strategy, standardization, human capital, enabling technologies, communication and engagement.
The CZ BIM Framework aims to support BIM adoption in the Czech Republic’s public sector and construction, helping organizations of all sizes on their journey of digital transformation.
Special strategy, guidance and standards for transport infrastructure organizations (highways, railways), related to the main Czech’s national BIM strategy.
The Government’s BIM Strategy was published in September 2017 to stimulate the public sector and to support the digital transformation and growth of the construction sector. 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.
Digital Czechia is a set of concepts and implementation plans ensuring the preconditions for the long-term prosperity of the Czech Republic in the environment of the ongoing digital revolution. Its content can be defined as “Strategy of coordinated and comprehensive digitization of the Czech Republic 2018+”.
Construction ITM is an industry transformation roadmap envisioning integrated sectors through widespread digital adoption, to spur business opportunities.
The roadmap focusses on three key areas:
- Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DfMA)
- Green Buildings
- Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD).
Integrated Digital Delivery
One of the key areas identified under the Construction ITM is to transform the sector through Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD). Enabled by BIM, IDD aims to fully integrate processes and stakeholders along the value chain through advanced info-communications technology and smart technologies.
