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.
This two page leaflet has been written to givs insight into the Open BIM standards already available in the Netherlands. It is on this overview that the Building Information CouncilÂ’s BIM standards policy is based. This leaflet explains how to use open standards, what an open standard is, and why we need open standards. The document highlights the various open standards available with descriptions of each.

This two page leaflet looks at how the habits, behavior and persistence of corporate culture are often underestimated when introducing BIM within a companyÂ’s way of work. Working with BIM requires employees to develop different competences. It also requires a change in mindset. In this leaflet the most common BIM roles in the Dutch construction sector and the accompanying competences expected from the employees are described and explained. BIM roles can be added to an employeeÂ’s existing job description and used in assessments, they can also be used as educational targets/goals for employees.

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 Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) is a statutory body established in April 1973 under the Housing Ordinance. The HA develops and implements a public housing programme which seeks to achieve the Government’s policy objective of meeting the housing needs of low-income families that cannot afford private accommodation. The HA plans, builds, manages and maintains different types of public housing, including rental housing, interim housing and transit centres. In addition, the HA owns and operates a number of flatted factories and ancillary commercial and other non-domestic facilities.
Contained on the HA BIM website these HA BIM Standards and Guidelines (Version 2.0) help the industry in Hong Kong with their BIM adoption. The guides ensure that all parties are clearly aware of the opportunities and responsibilities associated with the incorporation of BIM into the project workflow. It defines the appropriate uses of BIM on a project along with the detailed design and documentation of the process for executing BIM throughout a projects lifecycle. By following the procedures set out. the team can follow and monitor their progress against thi splan to gain the maximum benefits from BIM implementation.
The Construction Industry Council (CIC) of Hong Kong was set up with the main function of forging consensus on long-term strategic issues, conveying the industryÂ’s needs and aspirations to Government, as well as providing a communication channel for Government to solicit advice on all construction-related matters. The CIC developed itself as a Centre of Excellence for BIM, formulating strategies for market transformation and promoting cross-discipline collaboration and wider adoption of BIM. The CIC provides support to the industry in five aspects, promotion on BIM adoption, training, standards, guidelines and specifications, BIM personnel certification and BIM courses accreditation, and BIM-related researches using the CIC Research Fund.
In 2020, the CIC reached another milestone for BIM adoption in Hong Kong, embracing ISO 19650. Along with this was the release of the CIC BIM Standards in December 2020, which contained major enhancements to align with ISO 19650’s Information Management principles, workflows and requirements, also providing Hong Kong ‘Local Annex’ of ISO 19650-2:2018.
The objective of this CIC ‘BIM Standards – General’ is to provide principles and workflow of information management using BIM, mainly including information management framework, information requirements, BIM implementation planning, introduction and functional requirements of CDE, information management workflow for stages in project life cycle, and modelling methodology and requirements, to facilitate prompt adoption of BIM by the construction industry in Hong Kong. Users are advised to go through the CIC BIM Standards and customise them for their specific project applications. The target users are the Appointing Parties / Employers / Clients / Owners (later referred to Appointing Parties) or their agents in the construction industry in Hong Kong who plan to use BIM on projects. The document will help them to prepare their BIM documentation.

The objective of this CIC BIM EIR Template is to provide BIM requirements for contractual deliverables to facilitate prompt adoption of BIM by the construction industry in Hong Kong. The target users are primarily small and medium enterprises (SME) Appointing Parties / Employers / Clients / Owners (hereafter referred to as ‘Appointing Parties’) or their agents in the private sector who plan to use BIM for their projects. The document will help them to prepare the project specific EIR.
The purpose of this document is to provide users with a standard Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) Template based on ISO 19650-1, which is required for service agreements or contracts following CIC BIM Standards and methodology depending on the type, scope and other Appointing Parties’ requirements for those projects. Users are advised to go through the Exchange Information Requirements Template and customise them for their specific project application. This Exchange Information Requirements Template should be used in conjunction with the CIC ‘BIM Standards – General’ which is available on CIC BIM portal website and also contained separately in this information collection.

With the support of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and other stakeholders of the local construction industry, BIM adoption in Hong Kong has grown in size, span and depth in recent years. The growing project BIM information flow requires suitable application software and hardware, BIM standards and in particular personnel with suitable BIM skills to manage and coordinate the projects.
To address the expectation of the industry, the CIC has prepared samples of job duties, qualifications and experience requirements for recruitment of BIM Managers, BIM Coordinators and BIM Modellers. The prospective employers are free to adjust the reference material to suit the size, nature and complexity of their projects and the requirement of individual posts.
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.
