The “Mongolia-UK Infrastructure Forum: Digital Construction” was held.
Based on Mongolia’s need to transition to the digital system of Building Information Modeling /BIM/, the British Embassy in Mongolia and the Ministry of Urban Development, Construction, and Housing (MUDCH) of Mongolia co-organized the Forum, which discussed digital transformations in infrastructure development, building information modelling, and digital reform in the construction sector, specifically, policies regarding the implementation of BIM in Mongolia.
A project developed in accordance with BIM methodologies has the advantage of anticipating potential issues that may arise during construction and preventing risks. Participants of the Forum held discussions on studying best practices worldwide and aligning them with Mongolia’s policies and market conditions.
During the event, M. Bayaraa, State Secretary of the MUDCH, stated, “BIM has become a foundational technology that connects all project participants within a single information environment and integrates all stages, from planning, design, manufacturing, and construction to monitoring and operation, through data-driven solutions. We will pay special attention to implementing and localizing model projects that will be mandatory for government- and internationally funded projects, developing a unified platform, digitizing operations in stages, and training and strengthening the capacity of engineers and technical staff in the sector. This Forum is an important platform for jointly building experience, knowledge, and technology.”
Around the world, construction and infrastructure development are rapidly shifting toward digitalization. Mongolia also continuously supports digital transformation as a matter of national policy. For instance, both the long-term development policy “Vision 2050” and the Government’s “State Policy on the Construction Sector” set the goal of introducing the Building Project Management and Information Integration System (BIM) at the national level.
