Red BIM de Gobiernos Latinoamericanos (Red BIM Gob Latam) is a network of representatives from the public sector in Latin American countries. Its members currently include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay.
Red BIM Gob Latam aims to increase the productivity of the Latin America’s construction industry through digital transformation, accelerating BIM implementation programmes through collaboration and knowledge sharing. The network diffuses and promotes common guidelines, commercial exchange and knowledge transfer across all countries with the support and financial backing of the Inter-American Development Bank.
You can view a Seminar on the progress of the implementation of BIM in the region on its YouTube channel, which was streamed in November 2020. Representatives of the Gob Latam BIM network introduced their national objectives and presented their BIM implementation strategies.
Hosted on the CDBB’s website, this massive open online training course (MOOC), launched in 2019, is presented in timed modules including reference materials and explanatory videos. It offers a guided pathway to a standards-based, public sector-led Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation and is aimed at policymakers and public clients involved with procuring, owning or operating built assets.
The modules provide an understanding of BIM and the strategic building blocks of its implementation, alongside other topics such as the importance of public leadership in the construction sector’s digital transformation and how digital transformation can create private and public sector benefits.
The MOOC is delivered in two ways:
- A self-study option for public sector stakeholders who cannot engage with CDBB’s international team.
- More interactive reference material that supports and supplements direct engagement with the CDBB’s International team and partner consultants.
Additional modules will be published over time.
