BIM - Building Information Modelling Methodology Handbook

Calculating Costs and Benefits for the use of Building Information Modelling in Public tenders

Construction is a strategic sector for the development of the European economy, and governments and public players are its largest client base. However, there are some commonly recognised problems that could affect the construction process: levels of collaboration, underinvestment in technology and R&D and poor information management.

Implementing Building Information Modelling (BIM) could both solve these issues and bring further benefits to public and private stakeholders, although the method of effectively evaluating these benefits remains to be worked out. For this reason, EISMEA, under the powers delegated by DG GROW, announced a tender to develop a methodology for cost-benefit analysis for the use of BIM in public tenders. RINA Consulting S.p.A., together with its subcontractor, B1P Group S.r.l., were awarded this project that entered into force on 1 September 2020 and lasted for nine months.

The implementation of the contract, funded by the COSME programme of the European Union, was supervised by an ad hoc ‘advisory board’ composed of representatives from the European Commission, EISMEA and the EU BIM Task Group (EUBIMTG).

The aim of the project was to develop a model which enables EU public clients to measure the costs and benefits of using BIM in their public construction projects.

The project addressed three main objectives:
