International openBIM Implementations: Why openBIM is Integral to the Conversation in Canada

buildingSMART Canada and the National Research Council of Canada explored successful international case studies and implementation of openBIM but the bSI community.  This talk shares what has motivated the implementation of openBIM and why is it integral to the advancements within the built asset industry.  This research has provided insights into how these global practices can inform and influence the Canadian roadmap for digital transformation in the built environment, highlighting benefits which include enhanced collaboration, interoperability, and efficiency across diverse project stakeholders.  To do so an important step is to clearly articulate the strategic importance of integrating openBIM within the Canadian context to foster innovation, streamline project delivery, meet evolving industry demands, and move towards a more connected and efficient future.
