e+bim is a project that seeks to train students of Technical Professional high schools (Educaciãn Media Tãcnico Professional or EMTP) in BIM, and allows them to have their first work experience through an internship period in AECO companies that work with BIM methodology. The initiative is led by the Ministry of Education and Planbim, and supported by private organizations, educational foundations and several AECO companies.
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.

Introduction to BIM Methodology is an open, free of charge and asynchronous e-learning course that allows participants to acquire BIM methodology-based knowledge, and to develop the skills required to understand and apply the BIM Standard for Public Projects. This initiative was developed by Planbim, and funded by Corfo (Chilean Economic Development Agency) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
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.
These videos (English and Spanish versions) describe the main objectives and goals of the National BIM Program of Chile, called Planbim. In 2016, the Chilean State elaborated a roadmap to increase the productivity of the construction sector, considering the implementation of BIM in public projects, gathering support from several ministries and public institutions. In this context, Planbim was created as the government’s initiative that leads this process, promoting the use of BIM to increase productivity and sustainability in the AECO industry. Planbim is a part of Corfo (Chilean Economic Development Agency), which depends on the Ministry of Economy.
Planbim’s lines of action are: institutionality and strategy, standardization, human capital, enabling technologies, communication and engagement.
The Ministry of Public Works is spearheading this plan to implement digitisation into the lifecycle of public sector projects for more transparency, efficiency and increased citizen participation. The plan will push the use of BIM to incorporate new technological and innovative tools within digital government actions and initiatives.
Empresa de Desarrollo Urbano de MedellÃn (EDU) is a public-private urban development company geared towards improving living standards for local residents.This is made possible within sectors such as housing, through designs enabled by BIM. Out of a team of 150 members, 47 of EDU’s staff work regularly with BIM. As such, EDU are a project developer and management entity that centralizes and develops urban and architectonic projects.
This legislation incorporates BIM into the urban planning process in regions that have the capacity to accommodate the digitisation of processing and issuing building permits. The pilot programme will simplify the filing, analysis and issuance of building licenses.

Colombia is creating a collaborative BIM framework strategy aimed at promoting digital transformation in its construction and infrastructure sectors. The goal, to achieve the centralization of the whole information regarding the public infrastructure projects leading to at least 10 percent savings in costs, will take place over the next seven years. Digitisation of national projects will become mandatory by 2026.
