FSRE has issued new Information Exchange Requirements (EIR) that address all information and related processes at design time. In recent years, there has been rapid development in the handling of digital building information in civil engineering. For more than a decade, FSRE has been using the BIM methodology in the design of larger buildings that the organization oversees. Now the organization has published new BIM requirements or Information Communication Requirements (EIR) with reference to ISO 19650 which now address all information and processes related to it during design.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) for federal buildings is a cooperative working methodology with which, based on digital models of a building, the information and data relevant to its life cycle are consistently recorded, managed and exchanged between those involved in transparent communication or handed over for further processing become. This information and data is documented digitally throughout and according to a uniform structure. Further information can be found in the BMVg information flyer (see downloads). To implement the BIM method for federal buildings, the goals and implementation strategy were described in a master plan. This is, among other things, the basis for a BIM manual in which the work aids (AH) required for operational safety are gradually developed and published for all relevant subject areas. The master plan and completed AH are available for download in the download area.

BIM Deutschland is the national center for the digitalization of the construction industry. It is the federal government’s central public contact point for information and activities relating to Building Information Modeling (BIM) and is operated jointly by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) and the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Construction (BMWSB).
This, relating to the year 2022, is the sixth analytical report produced by OICE on public tenders for the awarding of architectural and engineering services (S.A.I.) which involve the use of BIM methodologies or, better said, the electronic modeling of the design phase.

We understand that successful digitization of the construction industry requires designers, architects, engineers, project managers and construction supervisors who know how to work with these technologies. Their preparation is currently a major challenge for the education system. To this end, the NRA has established a BIM expert group that brings together skilled technology enthusiasts and oversees the effective use of BIM in construction projects and, in the future, in building management. The company employs many young specialists who know how to use modern technologies, are not afraid to experiment and test new ideas in practice, and are ready to share their experience with others. Our experts participate in and organize in-demand seminars on practical aspects of using BIM. In organizing them, the NRA tends to cooperate with the Ministry of Economics and SIA “Latvian State Standard”. Thus, the NRA shares good practices and promotes faster inclusion of BIM requirements in construction procurement throughout the Latvian public sector. At the end of 2020, the NRA signed a memorandum of cooperation with Riga Technical University. It will be a useful exchange of knowledge and experience for both parties, which will help to create new innovations.

e-Leap in Construction From the recovery and resilience facility’s funds for digital transformation in enterprises 4,5 million euros will be invested in digitalizing the Estonian construction sector. Under the name ehituse e-hüpe / e-leap in construction the funding programme is aimed at Estonian companies and institutions working in or with the construction sector, in order to develop or use digital tools and to expand the services offered on the Estonian e-construction platform. The programme is managed by Estonian Ministry of Economy together with the State Shared Service Centre.

ISO 19650 is the prominent global standard for the implementation of BIM, focusing on the collaborative process integral to the entire life cycle of constructed assets. Developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard serves as a comprehensive framework for managing information from the conception of a project, through construction and operation to its eventual decommissioning. The development and publication of ISO 19650 highlights the commitment of international standards bodies to creating a consistent and efficient approach to BIM implementation on a global scale.
ISO 19650 is a multi-part standard. Part 1 delineates fundamental concepts and principles, while Part 2 provides practical guidance for information management throughout the project life cycle. The scalability of ISO 19650 allows organizations to tailor its application to the specific needs and intricacies of their projects. As an internationally recognized standard, ISO 19650 reflects the collaborative efforts of standards bodies to enhance global construction industry practices. Throughout this process, transparency, collaboration, and consensus-building are key principles. ISO standards, including ISO 19650, are developed with input from experts and stakeholders worldwide to ensure that they reflect a global consensus on best practices.
A country might choose to adopt ISO 19650 for several reasons, all of which contribute to the standard’s potential benefits in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of construction and infrastructure projects. Some of the reasons why a country might decide to adopt ISO 19650:
- Global standardisation of processes
- Support interoperability and collaboration
- Consider a quality assured approach to information management
- Competitive advantage and potential for cross boarder trade
- Improved project delivery outcomes
In summary, the adoption of ISO 19650 by a country can bring about international alignment, improved collaboration, risk reduction, and enhanced competitiveness in the construction industry, ultimately contributing to more successful and sustainable infrastructure development. Countries will usually adopt ISO 19650 by publishing a national annex to the standard.
