The objective of this document is to analyze the Spanish public procurement, highlighting the progress made so far in the implementation of the methodology, as well as to develop a proposal of BIM requirements that, in general, could be used as a reference for tenders of the AECO sector in the country, in order to prevent the publication of public contracts with insufficient definition of requirements, which in turn could generate conflicts between the participant agents.

This paper presents an evaluation system and a workflow to support the decision makers in considering the life cycle of a construction, optimizing environmental and economic impacts.

This paper argues that public clients have the power and are in the position to act as »innovation supporters« and »change agents«. Findings contribute to the literature on public clients as drivers of change and innovation in construction and are relevant to research on public clients as drivers for industry change and innovation and to research on BIM as a game changer.

This paper presents the outcomes of the large-scale project BIM4INFRA2020 initiated by the German government that helped to pave the way towards the German BIM mandate through a number of measures.
