The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (Väylävirasto), shortened to FTIA, is a Finnish government agency responsible for the maintenance of Finland’s road, rail, and waterway systems. The agency’s parent organization is the Ministry of Transport and Communications. FTIA have an annual budget for their works in the region of 2.1 billion euros. The FTIA is composed of five divisions and two functional areas that report directly to the Director General. These divisions are: Operations Management, Transport Network Planning, Projects, Infrastructure Management, Infrastructure Access and Information. FTIA is a skilled procurement organisation whose mission is promoting the easy movement of people and the efficient transport of goods by the world of business. In the summer of 2019, FTIA committed to the a vision for standardizing the information management of the built environment: “Defined and regulated information flows comprehensively throughout the entire life cycle of the built environment. The starting point in FTIAÂ’s operations is that each project would be implemented in the best possible way based on information models and open information management standards. However, the quality of the data models has not been measured or monitored Operations are supported by interoperable information services and systems.
These pages contain the FTIAÂ’s current guidelines and draft guidelines related to infrastructure. The current technical guidelines and standards are also presented in the FITA’s list of guidelines. The project’s data management and data modelling are guided by the instructions in this document, the order of competence of which in the event of conflict is the order mentioned. If a further instruction has made a clarification or additions to the higher instructions that do not conflict with the higher instruction, the lower instruction applies. The instructions can be found in the FTIA list of instructions.

The Development Bureau of Hong Kong was created on 1 July 2007 as part of a governmental reorganisation. The Bureau has responsibility for urban planning and land administration, which originally fell under the Planning, Environment and Lands Bureau when the Hong Kong SAR government was established in 1997. The Development Bureau was established and took over the responsibility of planning and lands administration from the Housing, Planning and Lands Bureau, public works from the Environment, Transportation and Works Bureau, and heritage conservation from Home Affairs Bureau. The Development BureauÂ’s policy objectives include ensuring the effective planning, management and implementation of public sector infrastructure development and works programmes in a safe, timely and cost-effective manner and to maintain high quality and standards.

A global team of over 200 experts are continually improving these templates for free access to all BIM communities around the word.
In alignment with ISO 19650, the templates team didn’t want the world to keep reinventing the wheel when it comes to BEPs and other ISO 19650 resources. Having a central resource for experts to curate and all teams around the world to access for free helps advance the use of BIM more rapidly – but importantly – in a standardised way.
Developed by the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat – PUPR) in collaboration with Institut BIM Indonesia (iBIMi), this guide was created to assist organisations in adopting and implementing BIM. It recommends that BIM adoption and implementation plans be supported and supervised by senior management and evaluated regularly in order to guide an organisation’s migration toward digitalisation.
This document can be updated and evaluated according to scale, structure and organisational size.
This freely accessible document was published under the ‘Building Trust in Digital’ workstream of the Digital Building Transition Plan (PTNB). It was developed by digital construction specialists and uses an automated form to support the preparation of BIM agreements.
Published in Word or Excel, it covers all the sections to be developed in a BIM agreement and offers a questionnaire to help draft the sections, so they are appropriate to the project. Processes common to all BIM projects are also included. To create a bespoke agreement, the BIM management team only has to complete the fields indicated with the characteristics of their project.
This document was published under the ‘Building Trust in Digital’ workstream of the Digital Building Transition Plan (PTNB). The Inter-ministerial Mission for the Quality of Public Constructions (MIQCP) was tasked with publishing a guide for contracting authorities with the aim of developing a set of very practical recommendations based on experiences and expert opinions.
Convincing project owners of the benefits of BIM is essential. This comprehensive 54-page guide describes in detail how to get started with BIM and conduct an operation digitally with other construction stakeholders. It specifies the roles and responsibilities of all those involved with regard to the use of the digital model and describes the actions to be carried out by the contracting authority.
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.
The Polish Association of Construction Employers (Polski ZwiÄ…zek Pracodawców Budownictwa – PZPB) is a nationwide organisation grouping companies from the infrastructure and construction industry, which together generate over PLN 50 billion of the value of construction and assembly production in Poland and employ over 50,000 people. Among the PZPB member companies there are 13 of the 15 largest enterprises dealing with comprehensive investment implementation, development companies, specialised design companies, companies producing construction products, machines, providing technologies and others related to the infrastructure and construction sector.
This study presents the results of several years of social work on Polish BIM standards intended for public investments in construction, tentatively named BIM Standard PL. The project began in 2014, when an agreement was signed between the Polish Association of Construction Engineers and Technicians (PZITB), the Association of Polish Architects (SARP) and the Chief Construction Supervision Office (GUNB) regarding cooperation in legislative processes related to construction, with one of the topics being BIM.
As a result of this agreement, under the aegis of PZITB and SARP, a think tank called V4 BIM Task Group was established, which gathered a group of the experts in the field of BIM to formulate the Polish path to BIM implementation. Three main goals were identified: implementation of BIM in public investments in construction, staff education and standardisation of BIM processes. The year 2025 was indicated as the deadline.
BIM Standard PL started in 2018 with the signature of a declaration of cooperation between PZITB, the Polish Association of Construction Employers (PZPB), SARP and Budimex, Skanska, Warbud and Porr to develop a draft of BIM standards for public investments in construction. It is intended as a comprehensive BIM manual for investment, management and construction professionals mainly in the public sector. BIM Standard PL is addressed both to the ordering party and contractors, with particular emphasis on good preparation of the BIM information process and correct implementation. Due to the different level of BIM competences among potential users, BIM Standard PL is not only defining the standards but also offers educational materials to acquire BIM competences. This document is not an official standard but a proposal, made available for market evaluation and discussion.
The Ministry of Development & technology for Poland has appointed a BIM working group and steering committee. The group and committee developed BIM templates to support the implementation of digital ways of working in public projects in residential construction. These are universal document templates to be used in public and private construction projects.
This set of 12 BIM templates were created by involving all stakeholders (designers, engineers, general contractors, ministries, etc.), which had the opportunity to submit comments and proposals for solutions to be used in these documents.
The BIM set includes:
- BIM Lexicon
- BIM Requirements Template (EIR) Overview
- BIM Requirements Template (EIR)
- BIM Plan (BEP) template overview
- BIM Plan Template (BEP)
- Table of production and supply of models (Template, overview, example)
- BIM annex to the contract.
These BIM templates should be used as a proposal for the layout of documents and their minimum content, which will allow for the proper implementation of BIM to meet all the project and organisational requirements. These templates can be adapted to suit a project.
