The BIM Forum Argentina arises from the awareness of various professionals and institutions in recognising the historical moment that the architecture, engineering and construction industry is going through in Argentina and the opportunities that BIM offers in this context. It is a technical and permanent instance that summons companies, institutions and professionals linked to BIM in Argentina.
The Forum is set up to promote the use of BIM in Argentine architecture, engineering and construction, through research, dissemination, training and development of good practices guiding its implementation responsibly for the benefit of society as a whole. It is organised through a Council and represents, in the most varied way possible, the main objectives mentioned above. The website contains details of the BIM Forum’s activities and many documents.
