What could EOF do for EC?
- Serves as the technical arm of individual governments as well as the European Commission in defining methods to accelerate the adoption of openBIM in the construction industry.
- Provides advices on political agenda and can develop standards considered necessary for the implementation of openBIM through the entire supply chain
- The collaboration between 26 pan-eurpean chapters ensures the presence of multidisciplinary and complementary experts to develop standards that are effectively usable throughout Europe.
- Our chapters have produced guidelines that can be shared under European Commission hat to accelerate the digital and green transformation and to allow all Europe to reach the same level of digital maturity.
