EU BIM

 

FIGURE 1
In the countries of the European Union, BIM is not a new issue. The leading country in terms of methodology is definitely Great Britain, currently after BREXIT outside the EU. The refinement of British standards has attracted the attention of EU central offices. In 2016, a special EUBIM Task Group was established. The task of the group was to develop a strategic manual, which was to outline the framework for introducing BIM by individual member states. Identify the best solutions, proven in pilot projects, and shape international cooperation in terms of standardization and definition. All of this is done in order to generate a better quality built environment on more economical budgets. As indicated by previous US and UK studies. The handbook was created in all language versions of the union. The group's next goal was the EU roadmap to BIM. The team conducts regular meetings as part of lectures in various parts of the union, promoting and helping to create the environment for introducing BIM.

B2. Advise the European Commission on the PPD
B3. Development of the EU BIM website
B4. BIM Innovation Award

C. Standardization
C1. Liaison communication plan
C2. Open BIM
C3. Common classification system

D. Knowledge transfer
D1. Regular member meetings
D2. BIM conference for public procurers
D3. Legal person
D4. A "who's who" network with a pool of experts

E. Supporting Member States' initiatives
E1. Unified digital platform
E2. Better financing
E3. Data protection
E4. Data privacy built environment
E5. Knowledge transfer - workshop

The most interesting:
A3. Measurements - Find a viable methodology to periodically measure BIM usage in all European countries
B1. Public Procurement Guidelines - Develop unified guidelines and tools to support public procurers on BIM requirements and BIM process management during project execution
C3. Common classification system - Develop a common classification system
D4. Who's Who Network with Expert Pool - Create a Who's Who Network with Expert Pool
E1. Unified Digital Platform - Support the creation of a common digital platform for the built environment that would enable the automation of building life cycle processes in the public and private sectors.
E3. Data security - analyze and propose the data security framework as general guidelines that can be taken as guidelines that can be applied to any open platform or collaborative work environment for BIM rules.
E.4 The Built Environment Data Provocation - Define privacy levels for the built environment data. What could be public in Europe and what could be private?
E5. Knowledge transfer - workshop - Digital Twins / Internet of Things IoT / Smart Cities;
