Tiếng ViệtHo Chi Minh City, October 20, 2023 – In the global context of digitalization and the application of high technology in all fields, Ho Chi Minh City has begun implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry.
BIM, short for Building Information Modeling, is a 3D digital model that allows experts in the construction industry – from architects and engineers to contractors – to understand and simulate the entire construction process, from the design stage to completion and operation. BIM not only optimizes the design and construction process but also minimizes errors, enhances cost efficiency, and shortens project timelines.
A recent announcement from the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, based on Decision No. 258/QD-TTg dated March 17, 2023, by the Prime Minister, reflects the city’s strong commitment to implementing this technology. All government agencies, organizations, and businesses involved in construction within the city are required to study and apply BIM in accordance with the guidance of the Department of Construction and current regulations.
To ensure standards and accuracy in the use of BIM, the city has established specific requirements. In particular, the exchange of BIM information and data must be conducted through digital media such as USB drives or CDs. This enhances transparency and efficiency in information exchange among relevant parties.
The application of BIM not only benefits the construction process but also contributes to improving the quality of life for the people of Ho Chi Minh City. With the support of digital models, construction projects in the city are certain to achieve higher performance, fewer errors, and cost savings.
In summary, Ho Chi Minh City’s choice to implement BIM in the construction industry is a step in the right direction, reflecting global trends and the city’s commitment to using modern technology to serve the community.
