BIM in Latin American Countries: An Analysis of Regulation Evolution
Digital transformation in the construction industry has been encouraged by initiatives for macro adoption of information and communication technologies promoted by governments and non-profit institutions in several countries. One of the trends targeted by these initiatives involves the regulation of Building Information Modeling, which already crosses cultural and organizational barriers. Previous macro adoption studies have mapped BIM forecasts and implementations globally, comprising BIM-led digital transformation in more than twenty countries. Although some of these initiatives have already been evaluated, these studies covered countries mainly in North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia. Still, there is a gap in approaches with a focus on the recent BIM macro adoption movement in Latin American countries. This study aims to map and analyze BIM macro adoption initiatives in the region of Latin America, covering the leading public sector roles of each country which BIM is already part of a national strategy. It is an exploratory study based on the survey research method for characterizing BIM macro adoption initiatives in Latin America for the last fifteen years. The authors’ research strategy considered the accessible publications available in government and specific institutions official websites in the Portuguese, Spanish, and English languages. These publications were grouped by country and organized in a timeline for highlighting temporal evolution. For content analysis, they were qualified as guides, protocols and mandates. A content matrix was structured. The statuses and main roles of the public sector for each country are presented as well as the characterization of Latin America a bloc.
