National BIM mandate status (proxy for rate of construction sites that are 3D modeled)
Country-level proxy for how widely construction sites are likely to be 3D modeled, based on national BIM mandates/requirements and formal public-sector programs.

Key Insights
- •Countries with national-level BIM mandates (score=2) are concentrated in Europe, parts of the Middle East, and East Asia, indicating strong public-sector drivers for 3D model-based delivery.
- •A large set of major construction markets operate under strategies/partial mandates (score=1), suggesting meaningful but uneven BIM/3D modeling penetration.
- •Because this is policy-based, the map highlights institutional readiness rather than actual on-site modeling rates; it is best used as a leading indicator rather than an outcome metric.
- •The proxy enables broad country coverage for visualization where direct “% of sites 3D modeled” data is not available.

About This Statistic
A true country-by-country “rate of construction sites that are 3D modeled” is not tracked in any standard global statistical system. As a practical mapping proxy, this statistic uses each country’s national BIM (Building Information Modeling) mandate/requirement status, which strongly correlates with 3D model-based delivery on construction projects (especially public works).
Values are encoded as a simple numeric score derived from published descriptions of BIM policy/mandates. This does not measure the literal percentage of sites; rather, it measures policy-driven readiness and expected penetration of 3D model-based workflows in construction markets. It is best used for cross-country visualization and comparative analysis, not as a direct adoption rate.
Methodology
This dataset is a constructed proxy score from BIMe Initiative’s country initiative/mandate descriptions. Scoring rule: 2 = national-level BIM mandate/requirement for public projects (or equivalent central-government requirement); 1 = formal government strategy/guidance, strong public-client requirement, or partial/regional/agency mandate; 0 = no formal mandate located in the compiled list or only nascent activity. Values represent latest-known status (treated as 2024 snapshot for visualization).
