A new institute is being in Canada that will exclusively be devoted to the services of Building Information Modeling. This is indeed a very rare one of its kind.

Several renowned Canadian organizations dealing with construction and design sector have come together to build a new state-of-the-art institute called, The Institute for Building Information Modeling, Canada. The institute is modeled after the famous Canadian Construction Documents Committee for structure. The mission of this institute is going to be facilitating co-ordinated utilization of BIM modeling for designing, construction and management for Canadian built environment.

The founding partners of the institute have prioritized different elements of propagation for before the institute becomes operational. These tools for propagation includes, practice manuals, awareness program, bibliography of relevant resources and a complete environment scan assessment for the use of building information modeling in Canada and around the world.

Canadian Construction Association or (CCA) is one of the founding partners of the new construct. The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies in Canada, Royal Architectural Institute Canada, and Construction Specifications in Canada are the other founding bodies. Two different government agencies the National Research Council Canada and Defence Construction Canada have also roped in for supporting the construction.

CCA's chief operating officer, Pierre Boucher said that each founding organization will offer seed funding for the project. According to Boucher, the work process for the construction has been well-defined and prioritized. So, the job needed to be done is arranging for some extra fund that might be needed for designing the institute mandate.

The members of the CanBIM or Canada BIM Council, viz. Consulting engineering organizations, major constructional and architectural companies throughout the country. CanBIM is visibly thrilled to be associated with the said project. In fact, the officials of the organization have offered their best wishes to the newly built organization and have promised the best possible assistance from CanBIM for the early stages of its functioning. They are, in fact, looking forward to working further in a collaborative way.
