From now on, Statsbygg (http://www.statsbygg.no/System/Topp-menyvalg/English/) will require the use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in its building projects.
This is an important signal to the building industry both in Norway and abroad. Open standards, greater efficiency and enhanced environmental awareness are essential components in the development of technology, says Minister of Government Administration and Reform, Heidi Grande Røys. She believes that the technology stems from the strong international commitment demonstrated by the Norwegian building industry, and that it represents an excellent example of innovative thinking in Norwegian trade and industry today.
