BIM is here to stay. If in the past companies or individuals demanded blueprints of their home or building, today those same parties require BIM models that provide precise information about the infrastructure; including architecture, structure, electrical and plumbing components. These models also include specific details for each element, such as material type, supplier, and more.
Increasingly Demanding Public Tenders
In this regard, public tenders today are more demanding, as they require greater information and transparency in construction projects to ensure they are carried out efficiently, within the expected timelines, and using the promised materials.
While BIM gained ground years ago in Europe, Asia, and North America, it is now Latin America’s turn. Countries such as Peru, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile are showing growing interest in the use of BIM as a mandatory requirement for public works.
What’s Behind This Shift?
Mainly, it’s the increased professionalization and complexity of construction projects. For national and local governments, BIM models enable:
- Greater transparency and control in public projects
- Reduction of cost overruns and delays
- Improved long-term maintenance and asset management
- Standardization and regulatory compliance
- A push toward the modernization of the construction sector
In summary the integration of BIM methodology in public tenders is now a reality. If your construction or architecture firm has not yet implemented it, you’ll be at a disadvantage when it comes to competing. But don’t worry, Acero Estudio is your specialized BIM consulting partner, offering expert BIM modeling and BIM audit services.
