buildingSMART - National BIM Initiative Report (Completed)

Start date: 2012

Status: Complete

During a series of buildingSMART MESH conferences in early 2011 held to follow up on the implications of the Productivity in the Buildings Network report, six areas were identified as requiring priority attention to accelerate the adoption of BIM in the Australian built environment sector.

buildingSMART Australasia conducted stakeholder consultation workshops in early 2012 in across Australia. The workshop participants unanimously endorsed the need for national action on the six areas identified as a matter of priority. They also proposed a number of further key recommendations which are summarised in a report to the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIISRTE). The report details 7 project work programs:

  • Procurement contracts that support collaborative BIM processes.
  • BIM Guidelines.
  • BIM Education.
  • Product Data and BIM Libraries.
  • Process and Data Exchange protocols.
  • Regulatory Frameworks.
  • Pilot Projects
