This web page presents information about the Chilean strategy for BIM implementation in the AECO industry, called Planbim, which considers the gradual incorporation of BIM requirements in public projects, from 2020 onwards.
Planbim’s lines of action are: institutionality and strategy, standardization, human capital, enabling technologies, communication and engagement.
Special strategy, guidance and standards for transport infrastructure organizations (highways, railways), related to the main Czech’s national BIM strategy.
The Government’s BIM Strategy was published in September 2017 to stimulate the public sector and to support the digital transformation and growth of the construction sector. It was prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, working closely with Czech BIM Council experts. Within the Strategy, a key element for reducing costs, cutting waste and avoiding errors is the adoption of the Building Information Management (BIM), which makes the most of digital technologies to provide a consistent flow of information and measurable standards at all stages of the construction life cycle, including asset and facility management.
Construction ITM is an industry transformation roadmap envisioning integrated sectors through widespread digital adoption, to spur business opportunities.
The roadmap focusses on three key areas:
- Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DfMA)
- Green Buildings
- Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD).
Integrated Digital Delivery
One of the key areas identified under the Construction ITM is to transform the sector through Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD). Enabled by BIM, IDD aims to fully integrate processes and stakeholders along the value chain through advanced info-communications technology and smart technologies.
The Ministry of Public Works is spearheading this plan to implement digitisation into the lifecycle of public sector projects for more transparency, efficiency and increased citizen participation. The plan will push the use of BIM to incorporate new technological and innovative tools within digital government actions and initiatives.
Colombia is creating a collaborative BIM framework strategy aimed at promoting digital transformation in its construction and infrastructure sectors. The goal, to achieve the centralization of the whole information regarding the public infrastructure projects leading to at least 10 percent savings in costs, will take place over the next seven years. Digitisation of national projects will become mandatory by 2026.

The BIM 2022 plan, a pioneer within continental Europe, was implemented in 2019 to integrate mass digital use, focussing on two key goals:
- Generalise the use of BIM in buildings throughout all sectors by 2022.Â
- Provide professionals with the tools to work within the framework.Â
The Government Construction Strategy (GCS) 2016-20 aimed to develop the UK Government’s capability as a construction client in order to achieve efficiency savings and further establish best practices developed under the GCS 2011-15.
The overall aim was to provide a coordinated approach to a highly fragmented industry to improve the delivery, efficiency and performance of construction projects in the public, private and regulated sectors.
Key objectives included:
- Supporting the use of digital technology, including Building Information Modelling (BIM).
- Establishing collaborative procurement techniques that allow early contract and supply chain involvement. These include recruiting and upskilling the workforce while promoting fair payment.
- Fostering whole-life approaches to reduce costs and greenhouse gas emissions across the construction, operation and maintenance of public buildings and infrastructure.
GCS 2016-20 encompassed a collaborative action plan to deliver its objectives involving Working Groups – including representatives of central government departments, the wider public sector and industry – the Strategic Delivery Group and the Government’s Construction Board.
The Infrastructure and Projects Authority was tasked to deliver the Strategy in partnership with major construction spending departments and agencies.

The UK’s construction sector has a strong competitive edge in the global construction market, forecasted to grow by over 70% by 2025. The 2013 Industrial Strategy: government and industry in partnership – Construction 2025, fruit of a collaboration between industry and the Government, shares a long-term vision for UK construction and includes an action plan.
The key objectives of the Strategy are to lower construction and whole-life costs by 33%, increase delivery by 50%, lower greenhouse gas emissions in the built environment by 50% and reduce the trade gap between exports and imports by 50%.
Objectives are aligned to targets and the areas of intervention include manpower, smart solutions, sustainability, growth and leadership:
- Attracting young people and upskilling the existing workforce are key to boosting capacity and capability.
- Developing efficient and technologically advanced solutions in all areas of construction, spearheaded by investment in research and innovation, is imperative to maintain global standing. The UK’s commitment to the Building Information Modelling (BIM) programme is an opportunity to excel.
- The enormous pressure to adopt environmental practices sharpens the focus on low-carbon and green construction solutions. These have the potential to provide value for money, for instance addressing material and energy waste.
- The global construction industry is set to grow by 4.3% each year until 2025 and it is crucial to boost the UK construction’s competitiveness. It is also a great opportunity to create a strong and resilient supply chain.
- The Construction Leadership Council, representing organisations across the industry, will provide leadership and oversee the delivery of the Strategy.
