This past week, we wrapped up a dynamic and insightful 3-hour pre-conference workshop centered on openBIM Business Value — and what a session it was!
Held ahead of the BIM Forum Conference in São Paulo, Brasil, this invitation-only workshop brought together a diverse group of thought leaders and practitioners to dive deep into the real-world impact of openBIM.
A huge thank you to our incredible co-sponsors: buildingSMART International, buildingSMART Brasil, buildingSMART Portugal, and buildingSMART USA. Your partnership, leadership and commitment made this session possible and impactful.
The room was buzzing with energy — all participants were extremely engaged and collaborative, which led to rich discussions and productive debates.
50% more issues closed during design phase
During the session, we explored real-world global examples that highlight the tangible business value of openBIM. We kicked off with eight proven categories of openBIM benefits, analyzed the importance of targets and metrics, and engaged in an in-depth, collaborative effort to prioritize a comprehensive list of openBIM metrics.
11.28% reduction in construction cost
After a thought-provoking and sometimes passionate exchange, consensus emerged: the top two benefit categories of openBIM, as identified by our international group of experts, are:
Communications & Decision-making
Procurement & Delivery Process
We were especially encouraged by the response from attendees — many expressed strong interest in working with us to advance this initiative through case studies and real-world applications.
60% less abortive work; Reduction in RFI
This workshop wasn’t just a one-off conversation—it was a major step forward in a broader global initiative. We’re thrilled to announce that the openBIM Business Value Metrics will soon be released to the international community. These metrics are designed to help stakeholders at all levels measure and amplify the value of openBIM in their projects and organizations.
50% time saving in QTO
🌍 Stay tuned for how you can get involved in the next phase of this important work.
