PERU BIM Road Map

PERU BIM Road Map [2]
In October 2020, the Ministry of Economics and Finance in Peru published a roadmap for BIM implementation in the country. The document has 30 pages and clearly defines goals to be achieved in the short, medium and long term. The document describes existing BIM practices in Peru and in the world. Mainly referring to the UK experience in adapting the construction sector to the widespread use of BIM. The center of the document describes the challenges and benefits that can be achieved in implementing public procurement based on BIM. The plan of implementation and execution of the document was defined in the form of linear goals and detailed actions - a standard strategy document. The implementation of the roadmap is to be based on three institutional sectors: government, private sector and the academic sector. The government sector has taken the central place of leadership under the document. The document has an attachment with a tabular list of goals, activities and implementation periods. As part of the translation of the document, the annex has been simplified, its original version in Spanish makes it easier to understand the roadmap for BIM introduction in Peru. The link to the original has been included in the sources, and the link to the translation on Google Books is below.
The current BIM situation in Peru was defined as complex and not harmonized. The lack of standards and definitions introduced into the general circulation of documents does not allow for the adaptation of the existing private sector solutions to the public procurement sector. In recent years, a number of public sector activities have been undertaken in Peru to improve the design, construction and operation of infrastructure through various innovative solutions available on the market. The main reasons for the low quality of services in the construction sector were defined as: ineffectiveness of legal regulations, corruption of public contracts, dispersion of contractors, lack of administrative efficiency in contracts and management, lack of effective project evaluation and control, lack of linking investment plans with the possibility of implementation and development in the regions. Based on Colombia's experience, the design stage was identified as the most important stage in the implementation of infrastructure projects also in Peru. The possibility of improving the projects was determined: in 85% as part of the improvement of coordination and information exchange, 91% as part of the improvement of rereading and management of the generated information. In addition, the lack of recognition of investment areas in terms of topography and geology and the long period of approval of documentation (a symmetrical problem of Poland [3]) reduce the quality of projects in all specializations. The introduction of the BIM methodology in the assumptions of the document allows for the standardization of the work environment, reducing the loss of information, extending the information flow by the entire investment cycle (concept - design - implementation - use), thanks to which it is possible to reverse the above-mentioned negative factors occurring in public procurement. The approved decree No. 284-2018-EF from 2018 aims to gradually implement BIM in the public sector at three levels of government in order to improve the quality, efficiency and transparency of public investments. One of the tools for the implementation of the decree, and the most promising is action: creating alliances to disseminate and supporting communication activities and implementing the BIM methodology.
The benefits of adopting BIM are detailed in the source document, I will only provide a list of the benefits expected to be achieved in the Peru roadmap: digitization and mobility of information, stakeholder and community involvement, process integration, reduction of rework and construction waste, prefabrication, improved supervision and control of work execution processes , project optimization, data set integration, environmental benefits, transparency, efficiency and quality. In order to benefit from this methodology, education should be started in the public (administration) and private (professionals and professionals) sectors such as in Chille, where a campaign of free training for students and project managers was launched. (A very different approach is presented in the Polish BIM Road Map [3]). Based on the experience of other countries, a loose (real) time line for the implementation of the Peruvian strategy is determined as 4 - 6 years with the maximum time horizon for 2030. The implementation of the strategy's goals is to be based on the leadership of the public administration sector in cooperation with the private and academic sectors.
Detailed objectives of the strategy can be found in the original or translated document, below I present the most interesting activities. Development of the digital platform: academic, technical and national BIM library. The academic platform will include a knowledge repository for methodology. The technical platform will be an inventory (updated) of implementation in the BIM methodology. The national BIM library platform will include software, documents and components. Communication strategy: that is, the definition of messages and tools to facilitate and establish communication in the implementation and work within the BIM methodology (A good solution seems to be a common (existing or planned) BIM dictionary [3]). The website included in this action aims to become the main means of communication with Peru and the world. The resource of the website is to allow for the exchange of experiences and specification of the best implementation practices in this methodology.
