but also a strategic tool to improve construction management, improve clash detection,
environmental performance, quality analysis, waste management, and further give impetus to
increased collaboration in the construction industry. The intention of these Trials and Testing
Webinars was to raise awareness that BIM is more than modelling and has a crucial advantage of
energy efficient green construction, digitalising skills and enhancing the productivity of the
construction industry in Europe.
Over the course of the trials thus far, the top findings were:
1. 94% of survey participants reported acquired knowledge for BIM and Energy Efficiency after engaging with the BIMcert training curriculum.2
2. BIMcert clearly responds to an appetite for a bite-sized beyond blended learning with 157% increase in BIMcert trial participation (from Autumn 2018 to Autumn 2019)
3. 297 end-users registered on the BIMcert Platform showcasing increased interest and engagement with BIMcert tools
4. Over 80% provide overall positive feedback on the webinars conducted, training platform presented, learning materials developed and the method of delivery.
5. Increased acknowledgement and positive feedback for inclusion of case studies, practical examples, such as a sample of a real-life project.
6. End-users desire explanation of ways of progressing in the learning pathways on the training platform in simpler language with more visual and gamified infographic.
7. End-users desire clearer visualisation of certification paths to be incorporated on the training platform.
8. Improvements required to ensure easier usability of the platform and ease of navigation of the platform.
9. Provide training curriculum in more regional languages
10. Real Energy Efficiency in BIM change must be driven from above (European Parliament Legislature) and stewarded from the ground (Member state mandates and local Action Plans)

With an upgraded methodology, the reticence over the IT barrier to blue-collar mobility and upskilling
was, for the most part, circumvented by increased interaction with over 95 skilled tradespeople via
Practitioner Pop Up events managed by FAC. These events involved consortium partners presenting
the e-learning platform on site and demonstrating its access and ease of use on all electronic devices
including laptops, iPads and mobile phones. Findings indicate that the digital skill barrier may be more
generational than educational in nature as many apprentices were comfortable using digital

technology despite not having bachelor’s degrees whereas some white-collar graduates were actually
more reticent initially.
The following pages delineate the methodology and analyse the results FAC received during and after
the testing process. The ambition is that this document may be used as guidance for future
development of the Energy BIMcert Platform and as a resource for energy efficiency and BIM
researchers and practitioners who want to build, test and develop bite-sized, e-learning material for
BIM upskilling programmes.
1. Introduction
As pointed out in D6.1 and D6.2,3 the objective of Work Package 6 is to test, demonstrate and validate the proposed BIMcert tools, methods and modules aimed at enhancing, enabling and empowering the construction industry. These tools facilitate relevant skills training, which will contribute to a greener, more energy efficient built environment. BIM is currently the best tool available to drive energy efficient design. With improved design and construction when applying BIM, as well as implementation of environmental construction methods and materials, the reduction of about 70% of energy consumption during construction activities can be assumed as additional energy savings. BIMcert aims to provide an enabler to upskill and familiarise with BIM, for greater use and higher energy efficiency in the construction industry. As stated in the proposal, one of the project objectives is confirmation of the following impacts in respect of the energy performance of buildings:
➢ Increased energy savings for at least 10%, in new building projects;
➢ Increased energy savings for at least 20%, in renovation building projects;
➢ Increased generation from renewable sources, in buildings, for at least 13%; and
➢ Reduction of gap between designed and achieved energy performances by at least 10%
D6.2 reflected on the findings of the second round of trials and testing and concluded the following –
(i) some contractors were reluctant to invest in BIM, (ii) participants desired more case studies to
make learning easier, (iii) there appeared to be higher awareness in all test site countries since project
commencement. The BIMcert consortium was cognizant of the previous feedback collected and
responded accordingly with solutions to counter difficulties and skill barriers. We responded by
providing content that offered a clear incentive to invest, added case studies to the BIMcert modules,
and mentioned our research carried out in all five city sites to spread awareness and share knowledge
from Lisbon insights to Skopje observations.
BIMcert, at its conception aimed to provide a training curriculum for upskilling in BIM knowledge. In
the final rounds of trials and testing, the consortium presented the newly developed and launched e-
learning platform with macro training plans which include micro modules. The final BIMcert webinar
trials sample training plan selected titled Training 4 Trainees (also included an initial Training 4
3 D6.1 (Report on End User Workshops and Validation on the BIMcert Concept and Methodology) and D6.2 (Report on End Users Workshops on the BIMcert Models and Tools)
Deliverable 6.3 Report on Validation of BIMcert Methods and Tools in terms of

Trainers webinar with same agenda), addresses varying levels of expertise ranging from intermediate
to advanced learning depending on already existing skills and includes the following modules:
Training Plan for Trainees
1. Training 4 Trainees
2. What is BIM and Digital Construction?
3. BIM Terms and Definitions
4. What are BIM (Maturity) Levels?
5. BIM & Digitalisation Benefits - Overview
6. BIM tools for Low Energy Building Construction
7. Energy System Thinking Key Principles
8. Intro to BIM Implementation – Impacts in Project Delivery – Overview
9. Digital Skills – Accessing Information through the Cloud
10. Digital Skills and Collaboration I – CDE & File Structure
11. Digital Skills and Collaboration II – Access BIM Models
12. Digital Skills and Collaboration III – Review BIM Models
To commence each of our webinars, the introductory BIMcert video4 was played to reiterate the aim
and vision of the project and give the audience insight into the capacity of BIM to transform the
construction industry and our relationship to energy consumption. From previous feedback, it was
understood participants had great interest in the energy efficiency aspect of BIM and desired case
studies and examples to be implemented in the training materials to break down steps easily. As a
result, practical examples and case studies were specifically used during the trials to facilitate ease of
understanding and correlation to real-life examples. As part of Work Package 5, IECE had developed
two live (prototype) case studies to demonstrate energy saving techniques, one of a new building
construction and the other for a reconstruction building project, based on real life projects that
learners have access to, specifically to learn about and practice energy modelling with BIM tools. These
case studies were emphasised in response to the request for them during phase two of the trials and
as a teleological teaching aid. Real life examples facilitate the learning process and help participants
engage with learning materials that project real situations during this phase of trials and testing via
online webinars.
As of May 2019 (reflected in D6.2), we obtained positive feedback on the BIMcert results and
participants had proved that BIMcert was perceived as a positive and viable enabler and facilitator of
BIM upskilling. In terms of awareness, all partner countries continued to promote BIMcert through
various local events, conferences and activities (please see out news section on the website5). To keep
the momentum going, and evidence authentic end user feedback integration, the consortium
strategically upgraded, expanded and diversified the delivery methodology in the final round of testing

Effectiveness Addressing Construction Needs and Future Outlook
shorter and the longer term, and can be implemented in the operating environment in the
construction industry as well as in national policies. By juxtaposing all required characteristics and
the tools’ effectiveness with the requirements with end-users’ desires and feedback with gaps in
national policies, the following results were aimed to be achieved: (i) a description of the feasibility
of the BIMcert tools for the end users (those included in the consortium and external stakeholders)
and (ii) suggestions for end-users on how to implement the tools in their daily practices. The two
tasks led by FAC in WP6 will be used to achieve these results are:
Task 6.1 Workshops with End Users – (M8-M20): Previously, workshops in which the concepts and
methodologies (from WP4) as well as the tools put forward by the project were presented to groups
of end-users, including the consortium end users. Feedback on the content and practical
implementation of the concepts and tools were evoked throughout the life of the project. This task
and its associated workshops were discussed in D6.1 and D6.2 and are built upon in D6.3. This
deliverable (D6.3) discusses the final round of trials carried out in all partner hub cities6 - Skopje,
Zagreb, Dublin, Lisbon, and Belfast - in Autumn/Winter 2019 and delineates the findings in the form
of a ‘Framework for Effectiveness’ from the blended methodology applied for the final phase of trials
and testing.
Task 6.2 Framework for Effectiveness – (M10-M20): FAC has commenced Task 6.2 Framework for
Effectiveness and the results of the workshops and webinars conducted in Task 6.1 have provided the
basis for development of a framework to analyse and identify effective intervention strategies,
impacts and advancement afforded by the application of the developed platform and learning
materials. As this framework is a living process, it has been refined throughout the testing phases and
is now ultimately incorporated in this D6.3 Report. In particular, an analysis methodology was used to
provide insight into the effects and potential impacts on the improvement of energy efficient
construction and energy performance knowledge enhancement. Furthermore, an extended timeline
till January 2020 (M21) provided the opportunity for a higher rate of continuous engagement,
segmented webinar sessions and comprehensive feedback.
To achieve the task outlined above, WP6 has already produced the following:
- D6.1: Report on end-user workshop and validation on the BIMcert concept and methodology
in M10 based on the Autumn 2018 phase of Trials and Testing WP6
- D6.2: Report on end user workshop on the BIMcert models and tools in M15 based on the
Spring 2019 phase of Trials and Testing WP6.
Finally, this deliverable D6.3 integrates the findings of the BIMcert final project trial webinars and
brings out a comprehensive Report on validation of BIMcert methods and tools in terms of
effectiveness, addressing construction industry needs and future outlook (due in M20) and will result
in clear directions for completing the final WP4 and WP5 deliverables. In terms of milestones, the
consortium has reached Milestone MS6.1: End user workshops on BIMcert Concepts and
Methodologies and MS6.2: End user workshops on BIMcert Models and Tools. It should also be noted
that the method of testing the sample pilot models and tools has been progressing gradually through
6 This last testing phase went beyond the cities to online webinars and attracted participants outside of these urban hubs as well as other countries such as Greece, Italy, and Hungary.

the three phases, towards a more blended approach, thereby testing the ratio of blended learning
components.
1.2 Summary of Phase 3 of WP6 Trials and Testing Events In the final phase of Trials and Testing, since the BIMcert Training Platform has been launched, the
testing approach placed crucial importance on assisting end-users to engage with the platform and
study the learning materials created in WP 4 and 5. The objective was to identify the most effective
delivery methods, in terms of learning progress, as well as chronological and financial aspects of
course delivery.
As previously mentioned in D6.2, the goal was to test the models and tools reported in the logically
structured work description of WP5 Developing Training Models and Tools (led by IECE) particularly in
terms of Task 5, the ‘Development of a Quality Assurance and Quality Control Manual for the Learning
models and tools application’. In the last two phases of trials, FAC consistently related the T6.1
workshop results back to IECE and indeed the whole consortium through weekly WP6 calls. In this final
trial phase, in order to disseminate the learning materials prepared by IECE, including the ‘Quality
Assurance, Quality Control Manual and Trainer’s Handbook’, FAC separately conducted a ‘Trainers
Webinar’ for evaluation of the specific features for Trainers on the BIMcert Training platform and to
understand their perspective on the learning materials prepared.
Figure 4: Screenshot of the Trainers Webinar conducted October 22, 2019
Continuing from our previous schedule, from August 2019 onwards FAC intensified the weekly WP6
calls to twice a week: every Wednesday and Friday. These meetings included key partners involved in
creating the training materials, designing and populating the online platform with bite sized modules,
training plans and gamified tools of assessment (BMC, IECE, and TU Dublin); gauging industry feedback
and implementing updated ways of engagement (CITB NI); and those involved in dissemination and
Deliverable 6.3 Report on Validation of BIMcert Methods and Tools in terms of
Effectiveness Addressing Construction Needs and Future Outlook
social media promotion (EIHP and FAC). The group brainstormed newer and more engaging
methodological processes for the final trials, identified content to be used for the trial based on
feedback by end-users on what they wanted, needed and expected from WP2 and WP6 results thus
far.
At the Spring Trials (i.e. the second round of End User Workshops), FAC had presented the following
agenda to participants at workshops covered in all five test sites:
• Demonstrate a sample of the training materials
• Simulate a live version of how to access materials on-line
• Simulate a BIMcert live webinar, including a live session with a tutor
• Facilitate Q&A sessions with demonstrators
Progressively, at the Autumn 2019 Trials (i.e. the final round of End User Workshop/Webinar), FAC
showcased an updated agenda and suite of materials prepared as part of the BIMcert curriculum. At
this final stage, the consortium had the learning materials ready, an online training platform with a
suite of modules as part of the BIMcert curriculum launched and working and had adjusted the
content in relation with the promised learning outcomes of particular modules. WP6 in its final
phase was tasked for trialing the applicability of the training platform and the various modules on it,
and successfully conducted various sessions to bring out a comprehensive review and framework for
effectiveness. This report, additionally, outlines recommendations for effective exploitation and
dissemination of project end-results.
We outlined the following benefits to all webinar participants, who included practitioners from the
entire supply chain of the construction industry:
1. A Curriculum addressing Skill Requirements for the Profile of Users in varying Stages of the
Construction Process
2. Demonstration of Blended Learning methods of BIMcert
3. Bite Sized Micro Accreditation – ideal for nonlinear progression
4. Gamification Progression Element
5. Access to Free Exclusive BIMcert Modules before and after the trial, to enable engagement
and most importantly for feedback to allow us to improve

Based on the findings of WP2 and via continuous engagement with WP3, 4, 5 and 7, the methods for
delivery of training appropriate to each target group and to each knowledge gap were defined and
developed to achieve “ready for testing” status. Based on this, the following distinguished sessions
were conducted for differing audience, delivery approaches and material delivery methods:
Trainers Webinar
•Presented the Trainers Features of theBIMcert Platform, along with the QualityAssurance, Quality Control and TrainersHandbook for feedback.

Table 4: Participant Information: Final Round Testing for D.6.3 BIMcert Models and Tools
As illustrated above, the BIMcert team made a concerted effort to reach a diverse audience and
amplify our participation rates to reach 203 attendees for the webinars alone, resulting in an 157%
participation increase. To ensure an extensive expanse of BIMcert in the construction supply chain,
the consortium opted to conduct a series of interrelated workshops for end-users to engage with the
platform continuously and provide targeted, detailed feedback on varying trial measures. Through
multiple sessions, the final round of trials ensured higher participation and reach, along with meeting
its goal of continuing to implement a blended style of learning in order to build on feedback collected
at every session and rectify approaches moving forward.
Based on the above table, Trainers and Trainees Webinars included groups of people from an array of
professional backgrounds such as architects, civil engineers, lecturers, project managers, production

Figure 18: BIMcert Testing Process
Stakeholders and end users in each country independently went through the BIMcert material relating
to models and tools. As stated in D6.1 and D6.2, Phase 1 established the conception of the BIMcert
project, methodology, and proposed outputs through five separate introductory workshops covering
five European areas: Macedonia, Croatia, the Republic of Ireland, Portugal, and the United Kingdom.
These workshops were held by the BIMcert representative consortium members between May and
September 2018. The workshops introduced stakeholders to the ideation of BIMcert and its proposed
outputs as well as to local and international consortium members and contact points.
Phase 2 demonstrated the beginning of trials and testing of the BIMcert concepts and methodology
and were carried out during October and November 2018 via live webinars across the five partner
countries. Qualitative and quantitative results were gathered during the webinar through notetaking
and after it through feedback questionnaire sent out after the end of phase 2. The mixed methodology
applied during workshops ensured immediate responses and discourse to be recorded later giving
participants time to reflect on the content and provide a detailed and comprehensive feedback via an
online feedback survey (conducted through Survey Monkey). The data gathered by the evaluation
questionnaire was analysed and formed the bases for phase 3.

3.1 Key Findings
FAC facilitated internal post-trial evaluation sessions and produced a summary of key findings from the final rounds of trials and testing. Subsequent to sharing these with WP 5 lead IECE, specifically Dijana Likar, the following findings emerged:
Over the course of the trials thus far, the top findings were:
1. 94% of survey participants reported acquired knowledge for BIM and Energy Efficiency after engaging with the BIMcert training curriculum.
2. BIMcert clearly responds to an appetite for a bite-sized beyond blended learning with 157% increase in BIMcert trial participation (from Autumn 2018 to Autumn 2019)
3. 297 end-users registered on the BIMcert Platform showcasing increased interest and engagement with BIMcert tools
4. Over 80% provide overall positive feedback on the webinars conducted, training platform presented, learning materials developed and the method of delivery.
5. Increased acknowledgement and positive feedback for inclusion of case studies, practical examples, such as a sample of a real-life project.
6. End-users desire explanation of ways of progressing in the learning pathways on the training platform in simpler language with more visual and gamified infographic.
7. End-users desire clearer visualisation of certification paths to be incorporated on the training platform.
8. Improvements required to ensure easier usability of the platform and ease of navigation of the platform.
9. Provide training curriculum in more regional languages
10. Real Energy Efficiency in BIM change must be driven from above (European Parliament Legislature) and stewarded from the ground (Member state mandates and local Action Plans)
Table 7 : Top Webinar Findings Round Three.
Positively reinforcing the aim of the project, top findings present end-user interest in BIM upskilling
via BIMcert and importantly point out ways of improvement. Presented below is a comparative
analysis on improvements and key findings from trials conducted in Autumn 2018, Spring 2019 and
Deliverable 6.3 Report on Validation of BIMcert Methods and Tools in terms of
Effectiveness Addressing Construction Needs and Future Outlook
As the consortium is continuously improving its outputs, this feedback was discussed with all partners and tool developers (BMC, IECE and IST specifically) as soon as it was compiled and will be reflected in the outlined framework for effectiveness. The prompt research feedback loop is tantamount to the efficiency of WP6 and ensures FAC is providing timely assistance and support to the advancement of the BIMcert models and tools. The following figure showcases the ‘platform users demographic’ validating increased outreach of BIMcert as an enabler of BIM upskilling:
Figure 24: Platform User Demographic (Other Countries include – Albania, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Finland, Nigeria, Italy, Russian Federation, Romania, Slovenia & Venezuela)
3.2 Post-Test Questions
Progressing from the first and second round of trials, FAC upgraded, expanded and utilised a
diversified mixed methodology approach to the final round of trials to give participants an opportunity
to experience the BIMcert webinars where we demonstrated content from our curriculum on the
Training Platform created, and gave users the opportunity to engage with it prior to the session and
simultaneously through the webinar. The idea was to facilitate conversation around the training
curriculum displayed on the training platform followed up with an opportunity to complete an online
survey. A link to Survey Monkey was distributed to all 203 workshop participants; 40 responded via
survey monkey and other provided quantitative and qualitative feedback post workshops, which
provided the consortium with invaluable insight into our test group’s perspective on the BIMcert
models and tools. Both qualitative and quantitative feedback was collected from skilled tradespeople.
The following table outlines the segregated quantitative feedback survey responses:
Deliverable 6.3 Report on Validation of BIMcert Methods and Tools in terms of
Effectiveness Addressing Construction Needs and Future Outlook
Q28. Which additional learning model/tool would you recommend for application in BIMcert?
During this testing phase, a respondent from Greece suggested ‘discussions, forums and interaction’
would be ideal. Going forward, a BIMcert Forum or social media plug-in could be developed. Based on
feedback from the previous round of trials, we had already scheduled and were undertaking Virtual
Face-to-Face sessions with the motive to provide users with a space to have interactive discussions with
BIM and Energy experts. This will be implemented in the coming phases as well. Other comments
included the following suggestions – ‘a support/help chat and more interactive videos’ (stated by a
Construction Contractor from Northern Ireland); ‘more practical exercises’ (BID Manager from
Northern Ireland); ‘translate to other languages’ (stated by a Technician from Portugal); ‘COBie and
CDE applications15’ (stated by a civil engineering lecturer from Northern Ireland).
As evident in the above Unit Content, Structure and Delivery Method of the Training Platform
questions, participant feedback on BIMcert models and tools were overwhelmingly positive with
insightful, easily actionable constructive feedback, mainly around user interface, multimedia
methodology, relevance and appropriateness for workplace development (CPD), and practical
examples. Below illustrates pertinent feedback on assessment models and materials.
On Assessment Models and Materials on the Training Platform:
Q29 to Q35 included the following specific questions on Assessment Models and Materials on the
Training Platform’s various scaled responses:

Overall, there was a predominantly positive feedback for the online assessment models presented on
the BIMcert Platform. An Assistant Estimator from Northern Ireland provided comments for
improvement – ‘Perhaps, shorter tests on shorter segments of each section. Also, the questions were
too long winded. More concise questions would be easier understood.’ Further, a Technician from
Portugal suggested that assessments should be ‘translated to other languages.
The next section presents insights other significant questions on the training platform and usage experience. Other Important Questions on Training Platform and Usage Experience: Q36 to Q56 provide excellent insight on other specific important questions on the training platform and usage experience which is detailed below:

clients who embed energy efficient and BIM applications into their contracts. Norway has set out
multiple directives to incentivise energy efficiency through the following initiatives:
Directive 2002/91/EC has been fully implemented in Norway since 2010. Energy performance
requirements for new buildings were revised in 2010 and most recently in 2015, coming to full effect as
of 1 January 2017. By the end of 2016, approximately 650,000 EPCs had been issued. Most of these
concern houses and apartments, while 24,000 concern non‐residential buildings. In 2016, the state-
owned energy administration Enova18 took over as operator of the EPC scheme. An evaluation of the
scheme is ongoing and may lead to changes in 2017. […]
A first suggestion and a roadmap for the work towards a NZEB definition including necessary
assessments was delivered from the Norwegian Building Authority to the responsible ministry in March
2017. There are also financial and technical support schemes available through a government-financed
agency. Plans for renovating the existing building stock towards NZEB are not applicable in Norway. But
through Enova, grants are given to renovation projects, capacity building, etc. Many research projects
are also working towards cost-efficient renovation methods. In 2017, the Parliament approved a
proposal to prohibit the use of fossil oil for heating in all buildings from 2020. […] Directive 2012/27/EU
(EED) is not implemented in Norway, and thus national renovation plans are not applicable. However,
there is a political intention to incorporate the directive into the EEA Agreement with necessary
adaptations.19
Incentivisation would be a powerful tool directly contributing to sustainable quality buildings and
construction. Further, to supplement incentivisation, the BIMcert training platform can be exploited
to strategically upskill workers in BIM rapidly through bite-sized modules and training plans.
2. Utilise BIMcert i.e. adopt BIMcert Concepts and Methodology
The BIMcert project has delivered more than it promised where the consortium has put a lot of work
into implementing the correct methodology of blended learning and conceptualising a valuable
training curriculum. The pivotal idea would be to utilise this methodology tailored to local
environments (addressed in section 2.1). The project output not only comprises of a BIM upskilling
training curriculum but has provided the construction sector with a Training Platform itself, with bite-
sized micro-accredited modules within training plans. This methodology of incorporating bite-sized
micro accreditations was especially targeted for professionals who may have time restrictions to
commit to a full BIM course. The logic for these micro-modules is to make learning and upskilling
easier for professionals who will have the opportunity to choose modules based on their personal
preferences, varying level of expertise (ranging from intermediate to advanced learning depending on
already existing skills), levels of increasing complexities of skills required and time constraint.
According to Ms Maja-Marija Nahod, Deputy Minister for Construction and Energy Efficiency
Croatia, individual initiatives such as BIMcert are essentially strategic methods of raising awareness
and recognising the importance of BIM for stakeholders and to present to them what is available in
the market to exploit for better productivity and profits. Further, BIMcert has proven to be an energy
efficiency and performance knowledge enhancement tool with modules such as – BIM tools for Low
Energy Building Construction, Energy System Thinking Key Principles, Concepts and Definitions of

Deliverable 6.3 Report on Validation of BIMcert Methods and Tools in terms of
Effectiveness Addressing Construction Needs and Future Outlook
According to Mr. Gordon Sutherland, Head of Sector, EASME European Commission, ‘everything in
the building sector is a national competence with regulations always set at the national level’. Earlier
that day in his address titled ‘The Importance of the Energy Performance Buildings Directive’, he noted
the importance of national budget agency i.e. the Commission is only 1% of the GDP, whereas 99% of
the contribution should originate from individual member states. The Netherlands and United
Kingdom have already embedded BIM in the construction sector as the government with 36% of
British architects and 56% of Dutch architects using BIM for optimisation of their business processes20.
A pan-European mandate by the European BIM task group will be strong enough to legislate national
roll outs. Content of the national mandate can be developed in accordance to a standardised mandate
presented in form of a guideline, as the first step. Localisation via National Action Plans can be based
on pan-European standards. Recognising BIM as a reliable tool for development at the legislative level
is pivotal for mandating it. According to Ms Maja-Marija Nahod, Deputy Minister for Construction
and Energy Efficiency Croatia, BIM can facilitate the industry as well as ease public administration.
She suggested development of very specific and elaborative general national guidelines (according to
country level of BIM maturity) in each country to adjust themselves to a standard of specific
established conditions. These will be based on a common definition of ‘level of development’ that
varies across countries.
However, it is important to note that independent initiative such as BIMcert are very essential to
promote BIM implementation and raise awareness and understanding of BIM. The Platform provides
a tool of upskilling easily and speedily for professionals to catch up with the digital revolution of this
decade.
5. Facilitate BIM Upskilling
Facilitating BIM upskilling by taking into consideration the BIMcert key exploitable outputs
supplemented by the previous four recommendations can be used so that professionals have a dual
benefit of skills transferability in terms of digital skills transformation and BIM upskilling together.
Furthermore, this directly contributes to the European Commission’s Digital Agenda21 for Europe
which aims to upskills workers and citizens with digital skills. By investing in BIM, we’re symbiotically
doing that. Dr. James Harty, Copenhagen School pf Design and Technology, stated that a key concern
to address is the advancement of the Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality Mixed Reality which has
transformed and digitalised the world today but allowing users to ‘using the phone, looking through
a screen, and seeing what a party is proposing to build, or watch a proposal change as per
requirements of a client, or even change the outlook of the building with a touch - that it takes so
much of the object out of it, and the most importantly, this change can happen overnight’. This outlook
precisely becomes instrumental in implementation of BIM technologies to adjust to the existing digital
transformations.
Furthermore, the market itself can facilitate BIM upskilling. With collaboration between stakeholders
of the construction supply chain, BIM upskilling can be promoted as tool for increased productivity
and profit of the construction industry. As Ms Maja-Marija Nahod, Deputy Minister for Construction
