BIM mandatory in Mexico: Learn more!

February 15, 2024 marked a milestone in the history of construction in Mexico. As of that date, the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology became mandatory for all public works projects at the federal level, joining our country to the list of nations where BIM is mandatory for this type of work.

This radical change represents a crucial step toward modernizing the sector, driving efficiency, transparency and safety in construction.

What is BIM?

Building Information Modeling is a collaborative working methodology that uses a 3D digital model to centralize and manage all of a project’s information throughout its life cycle. This includes everything from planning and design to construction, operation and maintenance.

Benefits of the methodology:

• Efficiency: 3D modeling makes it easier to detect and correct errors at the design stage, avoiding costly rework on site.
• Safety: It allows analyses and simulations to be carried out to guarantee the safety of the construction and of its users.
• Collaboration: BIM facilitates communication and collaborative work among the different stakeholders of the project.
• Sustainability: It allows the design and construction to be optimized to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of the project.
• Transparency: The digital model provides accurate and up-to-date information about the project, which facilitates transparency and administrative control.

The adoption of BIM in Mexico has been a gradual process, driven by experts and business leaders in the construction sector. The BIM Task Group has played a fundamental role in promoting and disseminating the methodology.

The use of BIM will be mandatory for public works with a budget of more than 100 million pesos, or as determined by the Ministry of Communications and Transportation (SICT). The implementation will be carried out gradually, with an adaptation period for companies and government agencies.

Making BIM mandatory in Mexico represents a crucial step toward modernizing the construction industry. This transformation will enable the country to compete internationally with more efficient, safe and sustainable projects.
