The Building Information Council (Bouw Informatie Raad, or BIR) promotes widespread application of BIM in the Dutch construction and infrastructure industry. BIR is a unique partnership between various stakeholders in the construction industry, where the members represent both their construction industry segment and their own company. They make practical agreements that are in the interests of the entire industry and ensure these are implemented within their own segment. The partnership focuses on implementing BIM to strengthen the quality, continuity and competitive position of the Dutch construction and infrastructure industry. The resources cotained on the website help to accelerate the development and adoption of BIM within the Netherlands.
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.

The BIM team within the 3D Construction Methodology Department of the LKC co-ordinates the BIM-related tasks of the projects belonging to the LKC, and the harmonisation of construction standards and procedures within the BIM area. The team has relevant and up-to-date information on the international position of BIM, has experience in domestic and international BIM projects, and is involved in domestic and international standardisation. The LKC BIM teams goal is to facilitate and help the spread of BIM in Hungary. To this end, based on the guidance of the International Standards Board and extensive professional comments, they are working on the development and implementation of proposals and methodologies to ensure its implementation. With the help of ‘BIM-köz-PONT’ (this public BIM portal), they want to create a platform for intensive and interactive communication, generating continuous feedback on the use and application of published materials.
On this website you can find the BIM handbook available for download. The BIM handbook is formed of several documents, as well as other sample text and design files, which can be downloaded and used for projects. The BIM Manual is uploaded in several parts:
– BIM Manual – General Description of BIM.
– BIM Manual Vol 1 Issue 2 – (an introduction to BIM)
– BIM Manual – Definitions and Definitions
– BIM Handbook – Areas of Application of BIM
– BIM Handbook – Relationship between BIM Applications and Project Phases

The policy of BIM Iceland is to implement the use of harmonised information models in the preparation, design, construction and operation of public structures in Iceland in order to increase the quality and accuracy of information about the structure, and thereby achieve lower construction and operating costs. It’s goal is that it will be standard to use BIM in the construction of all major public structures in Iceland.
The website has a range of articles/news releases and documents:
– CCI system for classification and identification of building components,
– IFC guidelines,
– MOLIO quantification rules
The board considered it important that there was a generally accessible publication in Icelandic on the BIM methodology, and therefore it was decided to have a German book translated on this subject. It gives an insight into the methodology and shows how the information model is structures in different applications. The book can be accessed via this website.
FSRE (Framkvæmdasýslan RÃkiseignir) is the Government Property Agency, looking after assets, construction and facilities for government services in Iceland. In September of 2021 FSRE came into being as a result of a merger between , Framkvæmdasýsla rÃkisins – Government Construction Contracting Agency (FSR) and RÃkiseignir – The Government Property Agency (RE). The orgisation focuses on the achievement of multiple benefits which can be gained with a strong integrated organization and a centralized approach, these include:
– Increased efficiency in Government operations
– Added value for Users
– Financial benefits for the Treasury
– FSRE to become a leader in the Icelandic Construction industry
Implementation of BIM in FSR projects, success and benefits for designers is a document published to study and reflect on the BIM successes in Iceland. When introducing a new methodology, there are many things to keep in mind. There are many stakeholders in construction, and they are connected to many dimensions of the economy. This study is carried out with the aim of shedding light on the experience gained by the designers who have worked according to the BIM methodology in the design of FSRE projects. That knowledge will continue to be used, in the next steps of implementation, i.e. practical implementation. Today, FSRE is beginning to make demands on contractors to work according to the BIM methodology. FSRE has set an example and guided designers in implementing BIM in planning, so it is very important to look carefully at which aspects benefited the designers and which did not. It is also important to get an overview of how designers work in the BIM environment and whether FSRE’s policy is to implement BIM in its projects, whether the main driving force in the implementation of BIM or whether it is involved in other aspects

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.
