This panel brings together industry leaders, policymakers, and technology experts to debate whether a national BIM mandate is the right approach for Canada. Advocates argue that mandates drive consistency, enhance productivity, and align Canada with international best practices. Skeptics caution against rigid regulations, highlighting the need for industry-driven adoption, flexibility, and investment in workforce readiness.
