Planbim’s lines of action are: institutionality and strategy, standardization, human capital, enabling technologies, communication and engagement.
The CZ BIM Framework aims to support BIM adoption in the Czech Republic’s public sector and construction, helping organizations of all sizes on their journey of digital transformation.
Special strategy, guidance and standards for transport infrastructure organizations (highways, railways), related to the main Czech’s national BIM strategy.
The Government’s BIM Strategy was published in September 2017 to stimulate the public sector and to support the digital transformation and growth of the construction sector. It was prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, working closely with Czech BIM Council experts. Within the Strategy, a key element for reducing costs, cutting waste and avoiding errors is the adoption of the Building Information Management (BIM), which makes the most of digital technologies to provide a consistent flow of information and measurable standards at all stages of the construction life cycle, including asset and facility management.
Digital Czechia is a set of concepts and implementation plans ensuring the preconditions for the long-term prosperity of the Czech Republic in the environment of the ongoing digital revolution. Its content can be defined as “Strategy of coordinated and comprehensive digitization of the Czech Republic 2018+”.
Construction ITM is an industry transformation roadmap envisioning integrated sectors through widespread digital adoption, to spur business opportunities.
The roadmap focusses on three key areas:
- Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DfMA)
- Green Buildings
- Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD).
Integrated Digital Delivery
One of the key areas identified under the Construction ITM is to transform the sector through Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD). Enabled by BIM, IDD aims to fully integrate processes and stakeholders along the value chain through advanced info-communications technology and smart technologies.
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.
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.

The BIM 2022 plan, a pioneer within continental Europe, was implemented in 2019 to integrate mass digital use, focussing on two key goals:
- Generalise the use of BIM in buildings throughout all sectors by 2022.Â
- Provide professionals with the tools to work within the framework.Â
The Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) is a partnership between the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the University of Cambridge. Established in 2017, it brings together industry, academia and policymakers to further the digital agenda in the UK’s construction sector and investigate its long-term effects on society and the economy.
CDBB’s aim to support and develop a smart digital strategy within the built environment echoes the government’s commitment to transform the construction industry through the adoption of digital ways of working. These will deeply transform the way the industry plans, constructs, operates and maintains built assets.
CDBB is a member of the Construction Innovation Hub, alongside the Building Research Establishment (BRE) and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), and we collaborate with other partners in the Transforming Construction Sector Deal. It is also home to a number of UK government programmes including the UK BIM Programme, National Digital Twin Programme and parts of the Global Infrastructure Programme.
The Centre funds research and supports multiple initiatives, collaborating with a variety of partners and several working groups at national and regional level.
Alongside BSI and the UK BIM Alliance, CDBB is also a partner of the UK BIM Framework, which offers the construction industry and public clients resources and guidance to implement BIM in the UK.
