In the dynamic landscape of the construction industry, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has transcended from a mere trend to an indispensable reality, permeating every stage and domain of the field. Recognizing this transformative power, the Vietnamese government has taken a pivotal step by officially approving the Roadmap for BIM Implementation in Construction Activities. This landmark decision, signed by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on March 17, 2023, marks a turning point in the development of Vietnam's construction industry.
The roadmap mandates the mandatory adoption of BIM for Grade I and Special Grade projects starting from 2023, with the scope expanding to Grade II and higher projects under state budget investment from 2025 onwards. This progressive approach necessitates close collaboration among government agencies, educational and research institutions, and construction enterprises.
To align with the government's directive and facilitate effective BIM implementation, Harmony AT, in collaboration with the Hanoi Department of Transport and Communications, the University of Transport and Communications, and the Institute of Economics under the Ministry of Construction, proudly hosted the workshop "Application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Hanoi Transportation Projects" on April 23, 2024.
