Chapter Development Journey
Chapters are essential in accelerating the adoption of openBIM globally. As the industry matures, buildingSMART proactively ensures that Chapters can support the entire sector. This development journey is tailored to foster growth and meet industry demand.
1. Technical
Technical competence is crucial for Chapters in supporting the use of standards and services. As these standards and services are developed, in-country support is essential to ensure the industry can fully utilize them. National examples like IDS or local bSDD codes demonstrate how Chapters lead the industry.
2. Education
buildingSMART has developed the global standards for openBIM training with various courses delivered in country with the support of Chapters. These Chapters work with training providers to ensure compliance, consistency and knowledge-based learning.
3. National Policy and Regulation
Supporting the growing demand for IFC mandates and national policy and regulation requirements. With the development of IDS, specifying requirements is now easier than ever.
