The BuildingSMART Alliance

The BuildingSMART Alliance is an organization dedicated to improving how buildings are designed, constructed, and maintained through better digital information sharing. It develops standards and open data formats to ensure that everyone involved in a building project—architects, engineers, contractors—can easily exchange accurate information. This collaboration helps reduce errors, save time, and decrease costs. Essentially, BuildingSMART promotes a common language and system for managing building data throughout a structure's lifecycle, leading to smarter, more efficient, and sustainable building practices.
