It’s not a secret for anyone, now BIM is something more than software for 3D modeling, today this is a full-fledged methodology for design, construction, and project management.
Global BIM is the concept of creating and implementing common standards that will lay the foundation for construction around the world. This concept promotes joint learning, collaboration, and mentoring between countries. The goal of global BIM is to create a common digital approach to the design, planning, construction, and operation of buildings and infrastructure.
The idea for global BIM was born in 2011 in the UK. Already at that time, the development of building information modeling technology in the United Kingdom was significantly ahead of other countries. Then the idea of mutually beneficial cooperation with the governments of other countries for the development of BIM all over the world was voiced.
In March 2021, the Global BIM Network officially hosted the first-ever Global BIM Summit. The platform brought together more than 2000 representatives of the public and private sectors from 100 countries.
It is worth that not the most pleasant events of the past two years have accelerated digital transformation around the world. If 10 years ago, global BIM was a ghostly idea, then today, at the end of 2021, this is the near future, towards which the construction industry is confidently moving.
