August 14, 2024 article. BIM technology could help Philippines as it digitalises construction industry. Build Better More program continues government’s efforts build robust infrastructure attract businesses. Program designed reduce cost of doing business remove growth constraints attract investment. Construction growth expected increase 7% in 2024. Philippines currently ranks 61 out of 64 countries in advanced technology adoption. However construction firms looking at technologies like BIM to improve processes. Market Penetration: BIM companies have not achieved market penetration. Governments may not be aware of software’s time-saving capabilities architects engineers may struggle to implement advanced features. Learning curve cost market acceptance are critical obstacles to widespread implementation. BIM construction software use cases extend beyond construction phase. Comprehensive digital records can be reviewed for maintenance planning resource allocation asset management. Operators can use information for better facility management. Deploy BIM in: Complex Infrastructure Projects simplify complex communication channels large infrastructure projects, MEP Modelling allows architects engineers view complex subsystems ensure worker safety maximise material usage, High-Rise Plans designers builders can see layers before project begins adjust plans ensure completion
HP PhilippinesPCIR Action Plans. #14 Institutionalize use of digital technology for regulatory, permitting, and infrastructure life cycle (planning, design, construction, facility management). Create Technical Council to propose national standards for digitization and digitalization (e.g. BIM, Big Data, Automation). Vision: Tatag at Tapat. We build with integrity. Construction industry that upholds transparency honesty excellence. Roadmap is blueprint for construction industry’s evolution into future confident that ongoing synergy between government and private sectors will foster collaborative environment necessary to support growth momentum. Four pillars: Productivity Sustainability Globalization Institutions. Integrates related functions organizations related to construction industry. Modernize services of CIAP in compliance with Ease of Doing Business Law. Pursue trade liberalization policies with reciprocity. Enhance Standards and Compliance on Sustainability and Resiliency especially on public infrastructure projects through strict implementation of existing laws passage of Philippine Buildings Act promotion of enterprise-driven efforts provision of Sustainability Incentive Programs

GCabling.netMinistry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) published BIM Vision and Roadmap outcome of roundtable session 2019. Document defines BIM and its vision and uses both now and future. Roadmap for BIM adoption includes detailed process to action and achieve implementation. Three strategies proposed to realize future values of BIM: (1) Utilizing market functions public and private sectors work together under appropriate roles, (2) Advance efforts that precede others then attempt generalization improve accuracy by Plan-Do-Check-Action cycle, (3) Strengthen international competitiveness Japanese building industry proceed as much as possible in accordance with international standards and norms.
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT)i-Construction program launched by MLIT March 2016 to promote 3D technology and aims for 20% increase in productivity by 2025. Under leadership of MLIT Productivity Revolution Headquarters (headed by Minister of MLIT), Ministry selected and promoting 20 advanced Productivity Revolution Projects as initiatives toward realization increased productivity. BIM/CIM promotion conferences, collaborative roadmap for standardization, government-led initiatives to foster BIM adoption. Integration of information and communication technologies including BIM/CIM into construction practices to address productivity challenges in construction industry.
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT)Technology fundamentally reshaping infrastructure landscape enabling smarter, more sustainable, resilient cities. AI-driven traffic management systems, 3D printing in construction, digital twins for real-time monitoring changing how we plan, build, maintain cities. Smart grids transforming electricity distribution using digital technology to monitor/manage flow ensuring supply matches demand in real time. Integration of renewable energy sources (wind, solar) more efficient through smart grids. Automation and robotics altering construction: robotic systems for bricklaying, welding, excavation. 3D printing allows rapid creation of building components using digital designs offering precise efficient building. Drones for surveying, monitoring, mapping construction sites in real time. Big data and AI at forefront of infrastructure planning enabling informed data-driven decisions
Mexico BusinessOctober 16, 2025. Ministry of Construction and JICA agreed to deepen strategic cooperation in construction, transportation, flood control, smart urban development. JICA assisted in nearly 70 construction/transportation projects worth US$10B+ significantly contributing to infrastructure modernization. Urged continued support for upgrading seaports and logistics with focus on green and smart port models 2027-2030
Voice of Vietnam / JICAUN E-Government Survey 2024: Uzbekistan ranked 63rd (up from 69th in 2022) with 0.7999 EGDI score, first time entering ‘very high’ E-Government Development Index group, surpassing 0.75 EGDI target set for 2025. Digital Government and Digital Region programs 2023-2024: 300 priority projects (112 public administration, 51 real economy, 137 regional digital transformation). Digital Uzbekistan – 2030 Strategy targets top 30 countries in UN E-Government Survey by 2030. Plans for digitalization of public services, ‘Service State’ system based on ‘user-adapted’ and ‘all services in three steps’ principles.
Government of Uzbekistan / UN Department of Economic and Social AffairsJoint project of UNDP and Ministry for Development of Information Technologies and Communications. Aims to strengthen Government capacity to promote inclusive digital transformation. Objectives: (1) enhancing capabilities of government institutions for digitalization in inclusive, gender-sensitive, holistic manner; (2) implementing small-scale digital solutions in public and non-government sectors (healthcare, linguistics, diplomacy). Plans for longer-term initiative focusing on inclusive digital/data governance, digital skills/competencies, digital platforms/innovations (digital healthcare, AI) jointly with MITC, E-Government Projects Management Center, IT Park, Research Institute for Development of Digital Technologies and AI.
UNDP / Ministry for Development of Information Technologies and CommunicationsPresident announced measures to make construction industry ‘corruption-free’ from July 2024. All construction contracts digitized, contractors receive financing through e-invoices only. Project acceptance process digitized and documents validated through ‘Shaffof Qurilish’ (Transparent Construction) national information system. Project office established under Ministry of Construction. ‘Corruption-free Sphere’ project launched as experiment in capital construction August 1, 2019, expanded to other sectors from April 1, 2020.
