The Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) is a statutory body established in April 1973 under the Housing Ordinance. The HA develops and implements a public housing programme which seeks to achieve the Government’s policy objective of meeting the housing needs of low-income families that cannot afford private accommodation. The HA plans, builds, manages and maintains different types of public housing, including rental housing, interim housing and transit centres. In addition, the HA owns and operates a number of flatted factories and ancillary commercial and other non-domestic facilities.
Contained on the HA BIM website these HA BIM Standards and Guidelines (Version 2.0) help the industry in Hong Kong with their BIM adoption. The guides ensure that all parties are clearly aware of the opportunities and responsibilities associated with the incorporation of BIM into the project workflow. It defines the appropriate uses of BIM on a project along with the detailed design and documentation of the process for executing BIM throughout a projects lifecycle. By following the procedures set out. the team can follow and monitor their progress against thi splan to gain the maximum benefits from BIM implementation.
The Construction Industry Council (CIC) of Hong Kong was set up with the main function of forging consensus on long-term strategic issues, conveying the industryÂ’s needs and aspirations to Government, as well as providing a communication channel for Government to solicit advice on all construction-related matters. The CIC developed itself as a Centre of Excellence for BIM, formulating strategies for market transformation and promoting cross-discipline collaboration and wider adoption of BIM. The CIC provides support to the industry in five aspects, promotion on BIM adoption, training, standards, guidelines and specifications, BIM personnel certification and BIM courses accreditation, and BIM-related researches using the CIC Research Fund.
In 2020, the CIC reached another milestone for BIM adoption in Hong Kong, embracing ISO 19650. Along with this was the release of the CIC BIM Standards in December 2020, which contained major enhancements to align with ISO 19650’s Information Management principles, workflows and requirements, also providing Hong Kong ‘Local Annex’ of ISO 19650-2:2018.
The objective of this CIC ‘BIM Standards – General’ is to provide principles and workflow of information management using BIM, mainly including information management framework, information requirements, BIM implementation planning, introduction and functional requirements of CDE, information management workflow for stages in project life cycle, and modelling methodology and requirements, to facilitate prompt adoption of BIM by the construction industry in Hong Kong. Users are advised to go through the CIC BIM Standards and customise them for their specific project applications. The target users are the Appointing Parties / Employers / Clients / Owners (later referred to Appointing Parties) or their agents in the construction industry in Hong Kong who plan to use BIM on projects. The document will help them to prepare their BIM documentation.

With the support of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and other stakeholders of the local construction industry, BIM adoption in Hong Kong has grown in size, span and depth in recent years. The growing project BIM information flow requires suitable application software and hardware, BIM standards and in particular personnel with suitable BIM skills to manage and coordinate the projects.
To address the expectation of the industry, the CIC has prepared samples of job duties, qualifications and experience requirements for recruitment of BIM Managers, BIM Coordinators and BIM Modellers. The prospective employers are free to adjust the reference material to suit the size, nature and complexity of their projects and the requirement of individual posts.
The BIM team within the 3D Construction Methodology Department of the LKC co-ordinates the BIM-related tasks of the projects belonging to the LKC, and the harmonisation of construction standards and procedures within the BIM area. The team has relevant and up-to-date information on the international position of BIM, has experience in domestic and international BIM projects, and is involved in domestic and international standardisation. The LKC BIM teams goal is to facilitate and help the spread of BIM in Hungary. To this end, based on the guidance of the International Standards Board and extensive professional comments, they are working on the development and implementation of proposals and methodologies to ensure its implementation. With the help of ‘BIM-köz-PONT’ (this public BIM portal), they want to create a platform for intensive and interactive communication, generating continuous feedback on the use and application of published materials.

The Danish Building and Property Agency is a part of the Ministry of Transport, Building and Housing. The agency is the state’s largest property enterprise, contractor and supplier of government work spaces. The agency is divided into three core business areas; Construction, Facility Management, and Rent. As the government’s property enterprise for universities and office workplaces they have a mission that they must deliver more efficiently and professionally, than if the customers themselves were responsible. The Danish Building and Property Agency has evidently found that BIM models enables better coordination in projects, especially when combined with an efficient digital quality assurance. Better data for operations and maintenance is both an opportunity and a challenge, and the Agency will focus on these data for the years to come.
Denmark has had ICT regulations for larger public sector construction projects since 2007. The Danish Building and Property Agency has been the responsible authority for those ICT regulations since 2011. These regulations state requirements for the use of BIM and the open source IFC standard. This document titled the ‘Regulation concerning the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in public construction’ explains the use of ICT, including BIM for projects in Denmark. The regulation covers some of the legal aspects of BIM implementation including procurement and use or exchange of data.
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.
