Italy looks to UK's BIM programme to influence its BIM Mandate as Italy starts the process of mandating BIM for publicly-procured contracts.
In a recent Blog post on BIM+, Angelo Biribini, Giuseppe Di Giuda and Sara Valaguzza describe how Italy is set to move to mandating BIM for publicly-procured contracts. In the blog they highlight how the The Italian governmental BIM Mandate will compel public client organisations to adopt a digital approach by 2025. The mandate is set out as an incremental obligation which will start on 1 January 2019.
The decree, which was issued by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, refers to the clauses mentioned by the EU Public Procurement Directive as well as to the assumptions contained within the EU BIM Task Group Handbook.
