Open BIM initiative
Open BIM is a collaborative approach to building design and construction that uses shared digital tools and standards. It enables different teams—architects, engineers, contractors—to securely exchange and work on the same building information models throughout a project's lifecycle. This openness promotes seamless communication, reduces errors, and increases efficiency by ensuring everyone has access to up-to-date data, regardless of the software they use. Essentially, Open BIM fosters interoperability and transparency, helping to deliver better-designed, more sustainable buildings on time and within budget.
