Last week, a client forwarded me an email about Finland's new Building Act.
"Can you deliver this?" he asked.
I read section 60:
"Building designers must provide building plans in a machine-readable and interoperable data structure..."
My first thought: Finally.
My second thought: How many professionals are ready for this?
Starting January 1, 2025, Finland makes openBIM mandatory. Not recommended. Not preferred. Required by law.
Here's what they're demanding:
✓ 3D models with complete data ✓ Machine-readable formats ✓ Interoperable data structures ✓ Comprehensive building information
This isn't just about Finland.
I've been in this industry long enough to see patterns. What starts in one country spreads fast.
It's already happening:
→ Norway - no act yet, but openBIM is becoming standard (especially infrastructure) → Switzerland - showing clear signs → Germany - moving this direction → Singapore - implementing similar requirements → Romania - adopting openBIM practices
Your clients are watching. Your competitors are preparing.
In our BIMvoice Mastermind, we saw this coming:
→ We master IFC inside out → We implement IDS for data requirements → We validate models automatically → We deliver true openBIM
My members? They're already working this way. Not because they have to. Because it's better.
