This session unveils the findings of this groundbreaking report, which builds on international research and best practices in digital construction from countries leading in BIM and data standards. Central to the roadmap is the use of OpenBIM principles to ensure compatibility, transparency, and collaboration across diverse systems and stakeholders. The report outlines strategies to enhance data management, improve BIM compatibility, achieve interoperability within Common Data Environments (CDEs), and leverage API-driven solutions for seamless data exchange. This presentation highlights how these initiatives align with global standards to foster efficiency, resilience, and innovation in the Canadian built environment.

This presentation aims to introduce the Roadmap for the Digitalization of National Construction Codes and its significance for the Canadian construction industry. It will highlight the development of a National Common Data Framework, emphasizing its role in standardizing data management, enhancing BIM compatibility, and enabling interoperability within Common Data Environments (CDEs). By showcasing practical applications and referencing international research and OpenBIM principles, the session will explore how these strategies streamline workflows, improve collaboration, and future-proof Canada’s built environment. Finally, it seeks to engage stakeholders in adopting the roadmap’s recommendations to drive digital transformation across the industry.
