Dear Community members,
We are pleased to share that buildingSMART International has announced Brazil’s formal approval as a “Chapter-in-formation” by the International Council, and at the Chapter Conference held in Slovenia this June.
Brazil is the first South American chapter to be added to the network, marking a significant step in the development of buildingSMART for the promotion and collaboration of openBIM in Brazil.
The Board's approval follows a successful submission, the new chapter will be established by BIM Forum Brazil with the vision to promote social, environmental and economic benefits of open standards for infrastructure and building information in Brazil.
Gustavo Carezzato, Director of Sales Operations at Graphisoft Brasil, Co-Founder and Board of Directors of BIM Forum Brasil, Leader of the Working Group is responsible for installing the Brazilian chapter of buildingSMART. Commenting on this great moment for the civil construction industry in Brazil, he explained “Certainly, in addition to supporting the Brazilian BIM strategy in its objectives, the chapter opens the opportunity not only to share good practices with the rest of the world, but also to showcase what Brazil does in terms of BIM excellence for all countries. We are pleased to have our plan approved and the work starts now. I invite all companies in the sector to join the BIM Forum Brazil and the chapter”.
This new chapter aims to promote collaboration between stakeholders, facilitate connectivity, and communication between all agents in the construction industry, promoting integration between processes, technologies and people through openBIM workflows.
