• contribution to the development of the following three ICT standards: prCEN ISO/TS 7817-2, prEN ISO 7817-3 and UNI 11334-4 on the framework of the level of information needs when it comes to building information modelling (BIM)

Construction building information modelling

The EU stakeholders will benefit from using a consistent application in projects to avoid waste of efforts. It will be a reference for EU manufactures in their product libraries to reach the right specification level of their products. EU SMEs will reduce time in creating their own specification as they can use something already available in the industry. In this way, they will be able to work across different countries, projects, and clients. EU Private and public clients will more easily be able to define what information they require in a repeatable way. The EU supply chain will be facilitated in producing better quality information thanks to software applications that allow automated information delivery, including checking and validation of information delivered. With the vendor-neutral, interoperable data exchange standard, software developers are provided with equal access to the market, reducing vendor lock in and enabling fair competition.

• Information Management in Construction

Construction building information modelling

The EU stakeholders will benefit from using a consistent process in projects to avoid waste of efforts. European SMEs will reduce time in creating their own processes and specification as they can use something already available in the industry internationally, as the standards I contributed to are developed at CEN and ISO levels. In this way, they will be able to work across different countries, projects, and clients. Furthermore, European private and public clients will more easily be able to identify who is responsible for information management in their organisation and to set requirements in a digital way for transparent and more effective processes. The EU supply chain will be facilitated in producing better quality information thanks to software applications that follow standardised procedures included in ISO 19650 standards during the entire project lifecycle.

While the construction sector is a key driver of the overall economy, it faces numerous challenges relating to, inter alia, competitiveness, labor shortage, resource efficiency and especially productivity. Digitalisation in construction is increasingly recognised as a game changer, which could contribute significantly to sustainable development within the European Green Deal and the ”Europe fit for digital age” priorities. My work dealt with BIM that is seen by the European Commission as the main solution to digitalization of the construction ecosystem, for all phases of the asset lifecycle: procurement, design, construction (including assembly), operation and maintenance
