buildingSMART Canada
The Canadian chapter of buildingSMART International has been established to provide the appropriate body and home for Canadian BIM Standards Development through participation in the development of international BIM standards as the voice of the Canadian marketplace and to promote the awareness of buildingSMART International (bSI) within Canada.
buildingSMART Canada exists to support the implementation of BIM in a way and at a pace that enables industry to successfully achieve improvements in project delivery and lifecycle management of the built environment, including infrastructure.
bSC’s participation provides a Canadian perspective to efforts to realize international standards in support of the goals of interoperability of data, consistency and efficiency in work processes, and optimization of information classification systems.
Canada and Canadian professionals have a long history and reputation of collaboration and communication between countries and regions. This chapter continues to fulfill this role, supporting the development and application of standards from high-level to practical use.
