Benefit from Authority Influence
Recently Dubai, represented by Dubai Municipality (DM), has been chosen to host the UAE Chapter of buildingSMART International. buildingSMART is an international organisation which aims to improve the exchange of information between software applications used in the construction industry. It has also developed Industry Foundation Classes as a neutral and open specification for BIM. UAE is the first country in the region to host a branch of this global industry body. DM has established a working group to publicise and deploy BIM implementation in the industry, and this will be mandated within six months. Hence, governments are working from their side to make a difference in the market, and have started to discuss the right steps to mandate BIM.
