The Build Digital Project aims to transform the Irish construction and built environment sectors by enabling all stakeholders, particularly SMEs, clients, and suppliers, to develop, maintain, and continuously improve their capabilities as digitally enabled, standards-based, agile, collaborative, and sustainable participants in the delivery of Project Ireland 2040.
This inventory was developed as a tool for identifying relevant standards and, in particular, their relevance to Build Digital. Each document found in this research was recorded, reviewed, and graded based on the scoring system created for this report and tool. This tool is intended to be flexible should new standards be published, or a change is required to an existing standard. There are in excess of 120 entries on the inventory.
The report presents recommendations for Build Digital with respect to information management and the use of BIM as a critical vehicle of innovation to unlock improved project outcomes in construction. The focus on addressing the information challenge is evident in the UK government’s publication of nternational information management standards in 2018 and the recent introduction of an information management mandate.
A colloquium is a conference where high-level discussions take place between experts in relation to a topic of importance. The event typically has a questions and answers period and is followed by the compilation of a document which details the discussions that took place. Chatham House Rules apply, meaning any discussions, other than formal presentations, will not be attributed to the contributor. The purpose of the Build Digital Industry Colloquium is to better align the project with the needs of the industry and to identify the benefits expected for the industry from the future work of the project. To ensure a diverse representation, Build Digital approached the Construction Industry Council (CIC) to invite participants from CIC representative bodies
With the aim of understanding the degree of progress in the implementation of BIM in Latin America and the main actions that have been carried out, CAF—development bank of Latin America—promoted the development of a survey of information on this methodology. in the region. This survey includes a diagnosis of the progress of BIM implementation at the national level in different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is important to highlight that this diagnosis presents the specific state of progress of the period of its development, between January and May 2022, so, at the time of reading, it may not coincide in some aspects with the current situation of the countries.

The industrial strategy highlights the need for a green, digital and sustainable construction ecosystem. Several other European initiatives emphasize the role of construction in achieving goals such as renewal, circularity, climate adaptation and mitigation or employment. EC legislative initiatives, directly or indirectly related to construction, introduce changes in the industrial ecosystem.
BIM Deutschland is the national center for the digitalization of the construction industry.
