BSI urges industry to embrace the new era of digitization in the built environment
In the construction industry, Shah highlighted that BIM can have a positive impact on the environment as well as providing cost reductions and profit enhancements. Organizations around the world have reported significant improvements in productivity, cost and waste reductions, and time savings.
BIM involves a collaborative way of working underpinned by set processes for procurement, management, and exchange of information. This process spans the built asset's entire lifecycle, from planning, design, and construction, through to operations and decommissioning.
As of January 2024 , Dubai Municipality has mandated BIM for building permit applications, demonstrating a dedication to adopting advanced technologies in the construction sector. This move is designed to enable stakeholders to address challenges proactively, ensuring the collection of high-quality data for Digital Twin and Smart Cities initiatives. Dubai Municipality's measures highlight a strategic investment in enhancing construction standards and fostering innovation within the industry.
