After reviewing different existing BIM role matrices internationally, in 2017 Planbim worked with representatives of the public, private and academic sectors to define BIM roles for the Chilean industry. In November of the same year, this work resulted in the BIM Role Matrix that defines five roles (Direction, Review, Modeling, Coordination and Management in BIM), and identifies the BIM capabilities necessary to exercise them, as well as the knowledge and previous experience, not related to BIM, that the people who perform them must have. This Matrix is connected with the Uses and with the BIM execution plan that is requested from Suppliers in public project tenders, all included in the Chilean BIM Standard for Public Projects.  

This document consolidates the methodologies and learnings of Planbim of Chile and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in the incorporation of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology in pilot projects. In the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region 

Given the importance of having objective data regarding the progress of BIM in public projects, Planbim published in 2022 the first report of the BIM Observatory of public tenders. This study includes 1,990 tenders carried out between 2013 and 2020 by different public institutions, and its results show that 70% of the investment corresponds to projects that required BIM. 

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) is Singapore’s public housing authority. They plan and develop Singapore’s housing estates; building homes and transforming towns to create a quality living environment for all. They provide various commercial, recreational, and social amenities in the towns for their residentsÂ’ convenience. Established in the 1960Â’s during the nationÂ’s housing crisis, they were tasked with providing sanitary living conditions to replace the prevalent unhygienic slums and crowded squatter settlements. Singapore’s public housing has housed an entire nation, today, more than 1 million flats have been completed in 23 towns and 3 estates across the island. HDB flats are now home for 80% of Singapore’s resident population, of which about 90% own their home. This Guide is prepared by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) and the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) to help consultants and contractors use BIM in the design and construction of new public housing developments. The objective of this Guide is to assist Consultants and Contractors to develop BIM model(s) collaboratively for new public housing developments. It sets out the general requirements for the preparation of a BIM Execution Plan and the guidelines in developing the BIM models for sharing and collaboration amongst the different team members of a HDB project throughout the project life cycle. This Guide serves as a general reference guide for typical new public housing developments and hence, may not cover all scenarios that may arise. Users are encouraged to adapt the guidelines and steps accordingly to suit their needs.

The Building Act (GZ-1) was published and adopted by the National Assembly of he Republic of Slovenia in December 2021. This law governs the conditions for the construction of buildings and other issues relating to the construction of buildings. The purpose of this Law is to protect the public interest in the construction of buildings. The public interest referred to shall include, in particular, the safety of buildings, respect for the principle of equal opportunities, protection of the environment, nature conservation, protection of waters, protection of cultural heritage, promotion of sustainable construction, coherence of the placement of buildings in the space, architecture as an expression of culture, recording, usefulness, efficiency, quality of the buildings and their consistency with the environment throughout their life cycle. The act mentions that, project documentation for the facilities referred to in this Law are to be produced by means of information-based design (BIM).

Provides an international framework for the creation of a information Schema for the Railway infrastructure domain This guidance was issued in July 2019 by the UK BIM Alliance, BSI and CDDB as a complement to?Information Management according to BS EN ISO 19650 – Guidance Part 1: Concepts, published in April 2019. It aims to help UK businesses and public clients understand the processes indicated in ISO 19650, with a focus on the different parties and their team activities referred in the standard: the Appointing Party, Lead Appointed Party and Appointed Party; the Project Team, Delivery Team and Task Team.? The guidance explains the role of each party by summarising their activities and outputs at each stage of the construction project, for instance how to coordinate information requirements, delivery milestones and information standards. It covers how to establish the information protocol, the management of the common data environment, how the information should be shared, reviewed and eventually archived alongside the lessons learned to help with future projects.?? It details how each party fits into a team and across teams, which documents need compiling, which resources need sourcing and/or mobilising, how information models are assessed for compliance and which party is in charge of, say, establishing the delivery team’s capability and capacity. A summary provides an overview of the Information Management Process, divided in stages, from Assessment and Need through Tender, Appointment, Mobilization, Collaborative Production of information and Information Model Delivery to Project Close-out.
