The Strategic Plan for the Implementation of BIM (Plan Estratégico MIC) establishes, from a government perspective, how the government will provide support for this goal, based on an innovative methodology to improve the construction processes with the aim to improve the public infrastructure.
BIM will enable construction stakeholders to generate, exchange and manage information among the multiple actors that participate in building projects throughout their entire lifecycle. This Strategy plan will consider the efficiency of planning, decrease overtime and cost overruns, as well as strengthen transparency and accountability of costs.
BIM adoption will improve the quality of projects and their comprehensive monitoring, as well as offering resilient infrastructure, making the best use of public resources and stimulating the global competitiveness of the Mexican construction industry. This document presents the specific objectives and strategies planned to fulfil these purposes, indicates the actors involved to achieve them, and takes into consideration public, private and academic sectors. A roadmap has been produced, which contains the specific lines of action that must be implemented to implement BIM.

The National Development Corporation (Corporación Nacional Para El Desarrollo – CND) is a non-governmental legal entity under public law, created in 1985. The vision of CND is to be a national and international reference as a facilitator for the execution of public policies oriented towards development. Its mission is to provide services to ministries, local authorities, public entities and the private sector to achieve national development objectives through management excellence, with a focus on citizens’ wellbeing and social responsibility.
CND is an integral facilitator in the development of public infrastructure and its associated services. The services provided by the Projects and Services area are the planning, direction and management of infrastructure works and projects, through the development of structuring, design, engineering and construction activities.
This website is a showcase for the Fifth National BIM Meeting in Uruguay, which was held virtually in October 2021. The programme focused on BIM and included over 30 presentations from experts across the globe. All of the materials from this virtual conference, including recordings of the sessions, are available.
The Public Procurement Office (Urzad ZamówieÅ„ Publicznych – UZP), headed by the President, is the central body of government administration. Supervision over the President of the Office is exercised by the Minister for the Economy. The advisory and opinion-giving body of the President is the Public Procurement Council, whose members are appointed and dismissed by the Minister for the Economy.
This website outlines useful information and knowledge sharing for BIM in four main sections:
- Regulations, including both national Polish law, as well as EU law related to BIM
- BIM Standard EN, looking at the international standards for BIM (ISO 19650) and the BIM Standard PL
- Links to other ministries / groups
- Publications, including links to documents from the EU BIM Task Group.
Construction processes are subject to outdated procedures and sets of requirements, which prevent progress in the industry. The Polish Roadmap for BIM implementation is an attempt to outline the direction of changes that will allow the construction industry to shift to more modern and, at the same time, more effective ways of working.
Developing a national Roadmap and strategy for transformation is necessary, because due to the different specificity of the market and legal conditions in different countries, it is not possible to adopt new solutions by means of regulations.
The main goal of the Polish BIM Roadmap is to achieve a level of adoption similar to the British BIM implementation level by 2025, but enriched with many additional elements, such as Digital Twins, digital security in distributed processing technology, Lean methodology and ecology. The process of implementing BIM in Poland should be based both on top-down activities (legislative, standardisation, standardization and pilot) and self-organisation of the construction market in the form of bottom-up activities (organisation of work in Lean, integration of processes, systems and information).
The project “Digitization of the construction process in Poland” aims to change the national construction industry so it becomes more efficient. During meetings, attended by representatives of the European Commission, the Ministry of Development, Labour and Technology, the Contractor and a wide range of stakeholders, experiences were presented related to the implementation of the BIM methodology and the digitisation of construction. Examples from Poland and other countries across the world, as well as further steps planned by the Ministry of Development, Labour and Technology, were showcased, including the creation of a BIM Working Group / Steering Committee in accordance with the recommendations of a Roadmap, devised to form the basis for developing a strategy for the implementation of the BIM methodology in public procurement. The meetings were.
The project, started in November 2019, has been aimed at popularising BIM in the Polish construction market. From the very beginning, the project included meetings with stakeholders: investors, public entities, designers and general contractors. Entities and persons participating in the initial meetings also participated in subsequent events and in consultations of documents that were created within the project. This website contains links to many documents and resources relating to this project.
Statsbygg is the Norwegian state’s key advisor in construction and real estate matters, including property owners, managers and developers. It aims to be the state’s first choice in organising and planning, usually leading a number of the country’s largest and most complex construction projects.
At any given time Statsbygg will usually have over 100 live projects running. The use of BIM is an important part of its work on digitising building information. The organisation has set requirements for the use of BIM in all projects since 2011 and has developed its own requirement set for BIM deliveries.
This website contains information about Statsbygg and Norway’s current BIM deliverable requirements. All projects shall, unless otherwise agreed, submit in accordance with the requirements of Statsbygg’s BIM manual. Digital submissions, coupled with machine validation of model files, makes it possible to assess the progress of a model and the quality of deliverables related to a project phase. To facilitate this, there is a system called SIMBA, which compares reviews models against Statsbygg’s BIM requirements.
BIM requirements specify how BIM models are to be created, what information they need to contain and how it is structured. The quality of BIM models is important because the aim is to connect BIM models with information from other sources, so stakeholders must be able to trust that the information is correct and in the right place in all projects.
The Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit (SecretarÃa de Hacienda y Crédito Público – SHCP) presents the Strategy for the implementation of BIM in Mexico, which seeks to promote measures aimed at improving public infrastructure development processes.
The main goal of the strategy (Estrategia para la implementación del Modelado de Información de la Construcción (MIC) en México) is to improve the development processes of public infrastructure, strengthen accountability and transparency, and improve the quality of the projects. The overall aim is to provide a resilient infrastructure and stimulate the global competitiveness of the Mexican construction industry. This strategy defines the specific objectives and actions planned to fulfil the digital transformation of the industry.
The strategy will be carried out progressively and divided into phases, this will allow sufficient time for the development of skills, capacities and processes so that the full potential of the methodology can be achieved.
The Plan BIM Mexico group is a non-profit organisation formed by people passionate about BIM methodology and Open BIM, who want to be able to design, build and operate in a more collaborative, sustainable, efficient and transparent way. Their mission is to promote BIM adoption, to create regulations and standards that allow interoperability in the models, to make public works more efficient, transparent and sustainable, with a vision to become a support for governments, academia and companies in the coming years.
The objective of this organisation is the modernisation and digitisation of the construction sector to help meet sustainable development goals. The website has a blog, a link to the BIM Alliance of Nuevo León, a live chat link and Observatory and Digital Transformation pages.
BIM Alliance Nuevo León (Alianza BIM Nuevo León) is an initiative by the Secretariat of Infrastructure of the Government of the State of Nuevo León, Mexico. It seeks to form a working group where public and private institutions participate in the implementation of BIM within public and private works.
This Alliance is a national and international benchmark as an advocate of the implementation of BIM methodology, harnessed to carry out quality public works, efficiently and within budget. Its mission is to gradually, progressively and strategically integrate the BIM methodology in the planning, bidding, execution and operation processes of public works carried out in this federal state.
