Question 1What are desired functionalities for both design level BIM applications (used by designers, such as Revit
Architecture) and construction/fabrication level BIM applications (used by fabricators, such as Tekla
Structures)? What are their distinct requirements (desired functionalities) for these two categories of
BIM tools?

Question 2
What are the role of BIM mandates in different countries? Do we need national or local/industrial BIM
mandate in Canada, and why?
In the UK, Level 2 is mandated for all government projects and most European countries are embracing
the adoption of the BIM Standard, especially Nordic countries which are pioneers to adopt the BIM
strategy in 2005. BIM is not only can be applied for a single construction project but also offer
tremendous value to leverage the data usage for smart cities management. Singapore has already
published the road map for BIM. The BIM mandate
Canada is the only G7 countries does not have a national mandate since the development construction
virtualization lag behind compared with most developed countries. In the current status of the Canadian
construction industry, the industry is mainly dominated by the traditional design-bid-build delivery
method which is completely anti with the BIM development due to the limited funding, and most
industry professionals lack of technical technology to adopt the BIM system. The national BIM mandate
can incentive the industry professional to expedite the learning speeds for the BIM system and offer
more job opportunities for the BIM professionals.
