BIM Alliance Nuevo León (Alianza BIM Nuevo León) is an initiative by the Secretariat of Infrastructure of the Government of the State of Nuevo León, Mexico. It seeks to form a working group where public and private institutions participate in the implementation of BIM within public and private works.
This Alliance is a national and international benchmark as an advocate of the implementation of BIM methodology, harnessed to carry out quality public works, efficiently and within budget. Its mission is to gradually, progressively and strategically integrate the BIM methodology in the planning, bidding, execution and operation processes of public works carried out in this federal state.
Mideplan presents Costa Rica’s National BIM Strategy to encourage the development of the construction sector, improve the execution of public contracting, provide greater transparency in the bidding processes, as well as contributing to the optimisation of the maintenance and operation of buildings and infrastructure.
The National BIM Strategy is a set of methodologies, technologies and processes that configures, designs, builds, operates and maintains the collaborative form of an infrastructure project in a virtual space. This allows cost savings, improved productivity and efficiency of operations, increased quality of infrastructure and reduced environmental impact. This document details the objectives and strategies for the implementation of this methodology in Costa Rica.

Mideplan is the governing body of the National Planning System. It is a strategic institution of the Costa Rican Government that promotes improvement in public management as detailed in the National Development and Public Investment Plan 2019-2022.
In February, Mideplan launched the National BIM Strategy. The Ministry of the Presidency, through the office of the First Lady, promotes the adoption of this methodology in the country. The coordination of the implementation is overseen by the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Policy (Mideplan), through the Pre-investment Fund with the technical cooperation of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) for the development of the national work plan.
This Decree establishes the National Strategy for the Dissemination of Building Information Modelling in Brazil РBIM BR Strategy (Estrat̩gia BIM BR), with the purpose of promoting an adequate environment for investment in BIM and its dissemination in the country. The document gives terms of reference for the Strategy, details its objectives, its actions, and the Management Committee representatives (from various Ministerial departments), among other information. The Management Committee will be advised in the execution of their powers by the Technical Group.
The Federal Government created the Committee for Strategic Implementation of the Building Information Modelling (CE-BIM) in June 2017 to formulate a strategy that would align public and private sector initiatives and boost the use of BIM in Brazil. This document (Estrat̩gia Nacional de Dissemina̤̣o do Building Information Modelling РBIM) was produced to encourage the development of the construction sector and bring more cost effectiveness and greater transparency to the bidding processes, in addition to contributing to the optimisation of process maintenance and asset management.
The report gives the strategy, specific objectives, indicators and targets, a roadmap from 2018 to 2028, and information on the escalation of BIM.
BIM Forum Bolivia is a non-profit organisation that brings together professionals, companies and institutions in the construction sector related to BIM Its mission is to promote the national use of BIM and its implementation in private and state institutions for the benefit of the construction sector and society as a whole.
BIM Forum Bolivia is an active member of BIM Forum LATAM, forming part of a national network that promotes collaboration and associative work between BIM entities from different Latin American countries.
The Survey was compiled by independent companies and professionals in Bolivian construction. The information obtained allows evaluation of the current state of activity in the Bolivian construction sector in the field of digitalisation in general and of knowledge and adoption of BIM in particular. It provides general data such the size, age range and types of projects etc.; types of digital processes and technologies; learning and implementation of BIM and perceptions of BIM amongst non-users.
Developed by the Colombia’s BIM Technical committee, this guide to Standards, Methods and BIM Procedures helps to explain and outline all the elements needed for adopting BIM in a structured and consistent way. It helps to explain the technical framework for BIM in Colombia.
This document aims to guide the project’s parties in the definition of standards, norms, methods and procedures required for BIM implementation in a structured and consistent way. It supports the creation of a collaboration plan from the early stages of a project, including permits and the structure of collaboration. This will help team members to optimise communication during the development of the project, allowing the efficiency of a collaborative management system, in order to:
- Give a clear definition of the information that the project client or asset owner needs, as well as the methods, processes, deadlines and protocols for the development and verification of this information.
- Ensure that the quantity and quality of the information developed is sufficient to satisfy the defined needs.
- Allow efficient and effective transfers of information between the different participating agents in each part of the asset lifecycle, especially between the development phases.
Developed by the Colombia’s BIM Technical committee, this BIM Application Guide helps to explain and outline all BIM components that should be considered as part of a project. This helps to form an agenda of elements for BIM adoption at the project level as national guidance.
This protocol defines the products, processes and responsibilities with respect to the management of information and BIM models during the lifecycle of a project. All the activities of the BIM process associated with the project will be completed based on the application of NTC-ISO 19650-1.2; 2021 [Organization and digitization of information in buildings and civil engineering works, including BIM]. The objective of this document is to define the requirements, processes and tools necessary for BIM information management, according to ISO-19650.
The National BIM Strategy 2020 – 2026 is the strategy for the modernisation of the construction and infrastructure sector through collaborative processes using standardised information in a digital environment. The objectives of the strategy are to improve consistency, efficiency and cost savings. These will be achieved through the progressive implementation for national projects and/or projects co-financed by the National Government, which is providing the public leadership.
The Colombian Government’s BIM Website offers a home for the Colombia’s BIM Strategy document, a library of standards, guides, templates and presentations. The website also contains a series of training materials focused around BIM fundamentals and BIM for project managers.
Planbim Chile has created a BIM Execution Plan (BEP) template as a free resource for construction professionals to use on projects.
This template can be used directly on a project. The BIM Execution Plan has two versions: ‘Offer’ and ‘Definitive’.
