About
BIM is one of the most promising recent developments in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) industry. BIM adoption in public works can unlock more cost-effective and transparent ways of planning, designing, creating and maintaining built assets, whether buildings or infrastructure, over their whole lifecycle. Adoption of BIM in public procurement remains a challenge as it requires a shift to a new way of working, which should be accompanied by relevant legal reforms and tools (standards, digital technology, etc.).
