This report presents the results of a first regional survey of companies in the construction sector in Latin America and the Caribbean to better understand the slow adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM), a new collaborative work methodology based on data models that contributes enormously to improving the productivity of the sector.

This document compiles the experience of promoting BIM, and the design and implementation of national plans, related to the methodology by the member countries of the BIM Network of Latin American Governments. The strategies and actions that public institutions in the region applied according to the BIM Initiatives of each country are identified. The intention is that this document is a point of reference for the implementation and promotion of BIM by the State, from a Latin American perspective built on the basis of the local realities of each of the countries that make up the Network. With this document , we hope to encourage the creation of support networks for the transfer of knowledge, experiences and lessons learned.
State institutions in different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have begun to implement BIM, in order to more accurately calculate the costs and times of the projects, as well as generate more fluid communication between the different actors involved. increasing the efficiency and transparency of processes. Internationally, a series of cases demonstrate the benefits of implementing BIM. Among them, one in the United States where, after its implementation in 32 projects, it identified: i) a 7% reduction in time, ii) a 10% reduction in costs through early detection of interference, iii) ) the elimination of 40% of the changes not considered, and iv) and the reduction of 80% of the time for cost estimation. The Physical Infrastructure and Digital Transformation Management generated this guide with the objective of promoting knowledge about the implementation of the BIM methodology in the public sphere. It explains what BIM is, identifies the minimum steps for its implementation in a public institution, and provides simple tools for public officials to integrate it into their institutions.
With the aim of understanding the degree of progress in the implementation of BIM in Latin America and the main actions that have been carried out, CAF—development bank of Latin America—promoted the development of a survey of information on this methodology. in the region. This survey includes a diagnosis of the progress of BIM implementation at the national level in different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is important to highlight that this diagnosis presents the specific state of progress of the period of its development, between January and May 2022, so, at the time of reading, it may not coincide in some aspects with the current situation of the countries.
This document consolidates the methodologies and learnings of Planbim of Chile and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in the incorporation of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology in pilot projects. In the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region
BIM Community for Africa with the aim to encourage BIM adoption across the continent.
The scope of the committee is the organization and digitization of information about buildings and civil engineering works, including building information modelling (BIM)
SC 13 is charged by TC 59 to focus on international standardization of information through the whole life cycle of buildings and infrastructure across the built environment
- to enable interoperability of information;
- to deliver a structured set of standards, specifications and reports to define, describe, exchange, monitor, record and securely handle information, semantics and processes, with links to geospatial and other related built environment information;
- to enable object-related digital information exchange.
National Annex Guidance. As part of a national level adoption of BIM the technical framework for BIM delivery needs to be considered. In most cases the adoption of the International standard, ISO 19650 is a key part of the national technical framework for BIM. As part of the process of adopting an ISO standard at the national level an annex to the standard should be considered. The National annex addition to the standard gives additional, country specific detail and context. This can also include the localisation of terminology used where this differes to the ISO terms. This guidance document has been specifically created to support the creation of a national annex aligned to ISO 19650. The guidance documents the areas of the standard which can have additional country specific context applied and some suggestions for these sections.

The MIDP (Master Information Delivery Plan) template is provided to support projects in managing the information and documentation required for that specific project. This template, provided in Excel format, should only be used in leu of the ability to create an interactive Gantt chart. The MIDP should be developed from a series of task information delivery plans (TIDP) for the project prepared by individual task team managers and setting out the responsibility for each specific information deliverable. The MIDP collates the separate task information delivery plans, and aligns them with the design and construction programmes.

National Annex Template. As part of the process of adopting an ISO standard at the national level an annex to the standard should be considered. The National annex addition to the standard gives additional, country specific detail and context. Following the guidance document provided, this template gives you a structured document with headings which can be completed with your specific requirements. Used in conjunction with the guidance, the template can be populated to develop an initial national annex. This template is provided as a starting point, articlating the main points expected in an annex, sections can be added, removed and modified to suit your specific requirements.
