buildingSMART Chapter Slovenija

In June 2020 buildingSMART International affirmed siBIM as the establisher of a local branch of this global organization. The buildingSMART Chapter Slovenia will be the link between the organization of bSI and events in Slovenia in the field of digitalization of the built environment.

 

buildingSMART International is a non-profit professional organization with the main purpose to develop openBIM standards for many areas of the built environment, such as buildings, infrastructure, water buildings, energy, etc. Among the best known standards developed by bSI is IFC (industry foundation classes), which is the basis for the exchange of information in BIM processes about the built environment.


The establishment of the Chapter is an important achievement for our country and the professional public, as well as the recognition that siBIM is a competent and trustworthy partner. We have joined the world map of the most developed countries, which already have their own buildingSMART Chapters. The establishment of the Slovenian bSI branch was otherwise part of the t.i. “Action plan for the introduction of digitalization in the field of built environment in the Republic of Slovenia”, which was prepared by siBIM in 2018 on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology of the Republic of Slovenia, but unfortunately it was not officially adopted yet.
