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.
The BIM Essential Guide for BIM Execution Plan (BEP) serves to jump start the development of a BEP for a project. The BEP provides a baseline document, approved by the Employer, to guide the project team in achieving goals set with regards to BIM deliverables throughout the project. This BEP guidance document walks users through the content they need to include and consider in their first BEP. The contents explained in this guide include:
– Project information;
– Project members;
– Project goals;
– BIM use cases for each stages of a project;
– BIM deliverables for each BIM use case,
– Model author and users for each BIM deliverables;
– Model elements, level of details and attributes for each BIM deliverable;
– Process for BIM creation, maintenance, release and collaboration;
– Technical Environment

This legal guidance document produced by the BCA committee aims to address some of the legal challenges around BIM and itÂ’s procurement on projects. The guide runs through the main challenges providing advice and clarity which can be adopted onto live projects. This document is for use in construction projects where BIM is used and shall be called the BIM Particular Conditions. All parties in such projects may incorporate the BIM Particular Conditions into their respective agreements or contracts for services, supply and/or construction for the project. The BIM Particular Conditions can be used for all methods of procurement. However, this document does not cover all issues in the use of BIM; especially those that may be specific to any particular user. The BIM steering committee therefore encourages users to review and adapt the BIM Particular Conditions for specific use. Users should obtain appropriate professional/legal advice before making any changes to the BIM Particular Conditions.

This website is focused on Green and Energy Efficiency Building in Vietnam. The website is collated and hosted by the Ministry of Construction (MOC) to promote this topic within industry. The project is to improve energy efficiency in commercial buildings and high-rise apartments in Vietnam. It is funded and supported by the United Nations Development Program/Global Environment Facility (UNDP/GEF). The project aims to reduce the intensity of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the Construction industry in Vietnam over the next few years. The direct objective of the project is to improve energy efficiency in commercial and apartment buildings in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi. This objective is accomplished through three components (1) Improving the enforcement capacity of the Code on Energy Efficient Buildings; (2) Initiatives to support the development of the construction market; and (3) Applications and replication of energy-saving construction technologies. Each component includes a number of complementary activities designed to remove barriers to strict implementation of the Code and greater adoption of energy-saving technologies, systems and practices. in construction in commercial buildings and high-rise apartments.
The website contains lots of useful information about how to provide greener and more energy efficient buildings. Whilst not directly BIM focused the site make references back to the BIM initiatives in Vietnam and the importance of this in the next steps. The website has lots of news and updates as well as containing resources such as documents and support tools / templates which can be used.
