Smart Infrastructure: Transforming Development with Building Information Modelling (BIM)

In this engaging panel, Dr. Bilal Succar led a discussion on Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a catalyst for digital transformation in construction and infrastructure. He emphasized BIM as the essential gateway to AI, digital twins, and modern project delivery. Khadija Alrubaie explained how Abu Dhabi Project Center (ADPIC) uses BIM across 60+ projects worth AED 64 billion, highlighting its role in accurate planning, budgeting, and anticipating change requests. She noted ADPIC’s plans to mandate BIM and develop guidelines while addressing skill gaps through collaboration with universities and training programs.
Khaled Awad underscored BIM as a critical productivity tool beyond design clash detection, recounting his experience with BIM-enhanced assessments compared to challenges in outdated buildings lacking digital records. He called on government bodies to mandate BIM standards like ISO 19650 to drive ecosystem-wide improvements, training, and consistent adoption. The discussion candidly addressed barriers like resistance to change and skills shortages, concluding that BIM is no longer optional but essential for productivity, lifecycle management, and sustainable urban development in Abu Dhabi and beyond.
