The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) approved a set of measures aimed at promoting the use of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology in public investment projects. This initiative seeks to modernize the management of public works and improve efficiency, transparency, and quality throughout all stages of the investment cycle.
The BIM methodology enables the use of collaborative digital models that integrate technical, financial, and operational project information. Its application supports improved planning, risk reduction, and the prevention of cost overruns, while also contributing to more orderly project execution and more efficient management during the operation and maintenance phases.
Through the General Directorate for Multiannual Investment Programming, MEF approved guidelines and technical documents that guide the gradual adoption of BIM by public entities. These include guidance on the use of open standards, recommendations for its application in educational infrastructure projects, and criteria aimed at strengthening the technical capacities of State institutions.
These measures form part of Plan BIM Peru, a national strategy designed to accelerate digital transformation in the management of public investments. To date, more than one hundred public entities and State-owned companies have begun adopting this methodology, reflecting significant progress toward a more modern and efficient public administration.
The implementation of BIM represents a key step in improving the quality of public infrastructure, optimizing the use of State resources, and increasing predictability in project execution. In this way, it promotes public investment that is more transparent, sustainable, and aligned with international best practices.
