The Ribbon-Cutting Moment The commissioning ceremony is a milestone worth celebrating. Years of planning, design, procurement, and construction have produced kilometres of new or rehabilitated road - a tangible result that communities and authorities can see and use. But behind the ceremony, a less visible transition is taking place: the point at which responsibility for the asset shifts from the project team to the operations and maintenance organisation. That handover is wh

buildingSMART International (bSI) has announced that the Information Delivery Specification (IDS) has reached its final standard status (v1.0). This approval marks a significant milestone in how openBIM workflows are defined and implemented and reflects a growing demand for more accurate and reliable data exchanges. IDS is a standard for defining information requirements in a way that is easily read by humans and interpreted by computers. It enables automatic compliance chec

For many asset owners and facilities teams, IFC models are still perceived as a handover artifact—a snapshot frozen at Practical Completion, archived, and rarely revisited. This mindset significantly underutilises the value of IFC during the Operations stage, where accurate, trusted information delivers the greatest return on investment. As facilities become more data-driven and IWMS platforms mature, IFC models are increasingly repositioned as controlled reference models tha

OpenBIM—the use of open, non-proprietary standards for Building Information Modelling—is rapidly emerging as the solution to these challenges.

BIM provides a structured, data-rich environment that consolidates every aspect of your facility into a single source of truth.
