Public bodies will be required to use Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the design, construction and operation of larger, more complex public buildings and infrastructure on a phased basis over the next 4 years. In Europe, significant efficiencies have for some years been identified from BIM, and the 2014 Procurement Directive makes provision for its use. The full report is on BIMIreland.ie
