MAIN GOALS - GENERAL ACTIVITIES - FIELD OF EXPERTISES

The demand for critical sustainable infrastructure to meet the needs of a rapidly rising population across the African Continent has necessitated a paradigm shift in the construction delivery approach via the integration of digital and innovative technologies. 

BIM Africa is a civil society organization with a mandate to enable and regulate the adoption and implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry across Africa.

 
With a focus on the SDGs 9, 11, and 17; BIM Africa aligns with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by fostering innovation in the Construction Industry through local and global partnerships towards the delivery of Smart, Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructure and Urban Development

The African-wide advocacy for BIM adoption and implementation is reinforced by extensive academic and market research programs, certification programs, roundtable meetings, seminars and webinars, formulation of locally-adapted standards, chapters, volunteering, and professional development opportunities.

ACTIVITY RELATED TO LOW GHG AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND RESILIENT BUILDINGS

Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital technologies enable the development of zero-emission, efficient, and resilient building designs, allowing construction stakeholders to integrate and analyze building performance.
