ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT In recent years, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has contributed to improve the efficiency of Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector. In 2014, the European Union issued the 2014/24 EU about the public procurement, where for public work and design contests it is recommended the use of BIM tools. For this reason in 2016, ANAS, the first Italian Contracting Authority for infrastructure projects, decided to introduce the BIM methodology. This paper aims to present the early steps of the research dedicated to the identification of the main activities to set a framework able to provide BIM, in public works. The framework proposed considers BIM as a multi-dimensional system, which starts from the re-engineering of the workflow, the creation of standard, such as the BIM library and then the realization of contract documents for public tenders, such as the Employers Information Requirements (EIR), mean to realize the basis for the spread of BIM.
