The Build Digital Project aims to transform the Irish construction and built environment sectors by enabling all stakeholders, particularly SMEs, clients, and suppliers, to develop, maintain, and continuously improve their capabilities as digitally enabled, standards-based, agile, collaborative, and sustainable participants in the delivery of Project Ireland 2040. Year 2 of Ireland’s BIM Mandate expands to include Contractors and Supply Chain for €100M+ projects and lowers the Design Team threshold to €20M, with resources available on the Build Digital Exchange Hub.

The Engineering Science Institute (ESI) in Saudi Arabia offers a hub for professional training and certification across various engineering disciplines. The institute provides specialised courses and programs designed to enhance technical expertise, improve industry skills, and support career growth. ESI certifications are recognised in the region and globally, equipping professionals with the knowledge and credentials to meet the evolving demands of the engineering sector. The hub facilitates access to quality education, hands-on training, and up-to-date industry standards to prepare individuals for leadership roles and technical challenges in engineering.

Crossrail’s Information Management focused on handling the vast amount of data and documents created during the project, ensuring they were properly managed and handed over for future railway operations. This included drawings, emails, and millions of documents, all with multiple versions.

To streamline this, Crossrail was the first major project to use a Common Data Environment (CDE) and Master Data Management (MDM). The CDE linked different databases and applications for documentation, CAD models, GIS, scheduling, risk, cost control, and safety, allowing data to be integrated and visualized efficiently. MDM ensured consistency across all systems.

The Information Management learning legacy shares lessons and best practices from Crossrail’s approach to handling project data and tools.

BIM Deutschland is the national center for the digitalization of the construction industry. It is the federal government’s central public contact point for information and activities relating to Building Information Modeling (BIM) and is operated jointly by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) and the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Construction (BMWSB). 

The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) champions the development and transformation of the built environment sector, in order to improve SingaporeÂ’s living environment. BCA oversees areas such as safety, quality, inclusiveness, sustainability and productivity, all of which, together with their stakeholders and partners help enables them to meet their mission to transform the Built Environment sector and shape a liveable and smart built environment for Singapore. BCA leads the transformation of the built environment sector through developing a highly competent professional workforce, adopting productive and game-changing technologies, and promoting the sectorÂ’s niche expertise overseas. Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) is the use of digital technologies to integrate work processes and connect stakeholders working on the same project throughout the construction and building life-cycle. This includes design, fabrication and assembly on-site, as well as the operations and maintenance of buildings. IDD is one of the key thrusts in the Construction Industry Transformation Map (ITM), and is aligned to Singapore’s efforts to transform the construction industry by creating a highly-skilled workforce trained in use of the latest architecture, engineering, construction and operations technologies. The Singapore IDD builds on the use of BIM and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), which have been implemented in many projects over the past few years. The BCA guide to IDD presented on this website includes and covers 4 main areas: Digital Design, Digital Fabrication, Digital Construction, and Digital Asset Delivery and Management. The IDD simplifies the different stages of a construction project with the integration of digital technologies that improve collaboration among stakeholders and construction efficiency, minimises construction mistakes and costly rework, and delivers smarter buildings. This website contains all of the links and resources related to BCAÂ’s current implementation of IDD.

Plan BIM Peru is the programme supported and promoted by the Peru Ministry of Economy & Finance (MEF) for the successful adoption of BIM Methodologies in public infrastructure investment throughout the country. Within the framework of Plan BIM Peru, BIM is defined as a collaborative work methodology for the management of public investment information, which makes use of an information model created by the parties involved, to facilitate multi-year programming, formulation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of public infrastructure, ensuring a reliable basis for decision-making. BIM does not only refer to the use of technological tools. Its main objective is to ensure efficient information management. BIM is essential for the planning and execution of an investment, from the definition of asset requirements to the end of their use, covering their conception, development, operation, maintenance and disposal. Plan BIM Peru is the policy measure that defines the national strategy for the progressive implementation of the adoption and use of BIM in the processes of the phases of the investment cycle developed by entities and public companies subject to the National System of Multiannual Programming and Investment Management, in an articulated and concerted manner, and in coordination with the private sector and academia. Plan BIM Peru was born as a political measure of the National Competitiveness and Productivity Plan, recognizing the need to modernize and digitize the systems for the formulation and evaluation, execution and operation of investment projects. The resources on the website help with the implementation of BIM. PlanBIM Peru National Programme Website

The Ministry of Construction (MOC) is a government ministry in Vietnam responsible for state administration on construction, building materials, housing and office buildings, architecture, urban and rural construction planning, urban infrastructure, public services; and representing the owner of state capital in state-owned enterprises. The Institute of Construction Economics, a part of the MOC, sets the National Level policy and Roadmap for BIM in Vietnam with the support of the BIM Steering Committee. The Vietnam BIM Roadmap was proposed to the government and was approved in Decision no. 2500/Q?-TTg dated December 22nd 2016 by the Prime Minister. The Vietnam BIM Website, hosted by the Ministry of Construction (MOC) and run by the BIM Steering Committee contains all of the coutries latest information, documentation and resources related to the countries BIM Strategy. This website also includes the Vietnam BIM roadmap document.
