Enabling trusted digital construction governance for public projects

Governments and municipalities oversee infrastructure and building programs that must meet strict regulatory, procurement, and transparency requirements.

Solibri enables public-sector organizations to apply rule-based BIM validation and model checking, helping authorities verify digital building models, support digital permitting processes, and maintain coordination across publicly funded infrastructure projects.

Public-sector construction requires transparency and accountability

Government-led construction projects operate under formal regulatory frameworks designed to ensure public accountability and compliance with national standards.

Authorities must coordinate multiple stakeholders—including architects, engineers, contractors, and regulatory agencies—while ensuring that digital models accurately represent the projects being approved and delivered.

As governments transition toward digital construction and model-based workflows, reliable model validation becomes increasingly important.

When inconsistencies within design models go undetected, the result can be delayed approvals, coordination conflicts, and costly downstream rework.

Structured government BIM validation enables authorities to verify model integrity through rule-based checks, helping ensure that submitted models meet defined standards before projects move forward.

Supporting national BIM mandates and regulatory frameworks

Across many countries, governments are introducing national BIM mandates and digital construction strategies to improve transparency, efficiency, and quality in public construction programs. These initiatives require project teams to deliver structured digital models that meet defined standards for coordination, information quality, and regulatory compliance.

As digital submissions become part of regulatory approval processes, model validation plays an increasingly important role in ensuring submitted models meet national BIM standards and information requirements before approvals are issued. Rule-based model checking helps authorities and project teams verify compliance, maintain consistency across projects delivered by different contractors, and support transparent regulatory review processes.

Solibri enables rule-based validation of project models aligned with national BIM standards and regulatory frameworks, supporting structured digital construction governance across public sector programs.

Digital construction initiatives around the world

Governments globally are implementing digital construction frameworks that require structured project information and coordinated digital models. These initiatives aim to improve transparency, reduce construction risk, and ensure that publicly funded projects meet defined quality standards.

Finland — National BIM Requirements and RAVA3 Digital Permitting

Finland has been a pioneer in digital construction governance through its National BIM Requirements (YTV) and the RAVA3pro initiative, which focuses on enabling digital building permit processes across municipalities. 

RAVA3 supports the use of digital building models as part of the permitting workflow, enabling automated validation and improved regulatory transparency. 

Solibri has supported digital building permitting initiatives in Finland by enabling rule-based model validation aligned with regulatory model requirements, helping municipalities verify compliance before permits are issued.

Singapore — CORENET and BCA Digital Building Permitting

Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has introduced advanced digital construction programs through the CORENET X platform, enabling building models to be submitted digitally for regulatory review.

These initiatives aim to streamline permit approvals while ensuring submitted models meet defined regulatory and information standards. 

Solibri supports validation workflows used in digital permitting initiatives by enabling automated rule-based checking of submitted building models, helping authorities verify compliance before approvals are granted.

United Kingdom — BIM Level 2 and Digital Built Britain

The UK government introduced BIM Level 2 for centrally procured public projects, requiring collaborative digital models, common data environments, and standardised information management based on the UK BIM Framework.

The wider Digital Built Britain vision extends this approach, using digital models and data to improve how public assets are managed across their lifecycle. 

In such frameworks, rule‑based model checking and structured validation help public clients and project teams confirm that submitted models meet defined information and coordination requirements, supporting transparent, model‑based project governance.

Supporting public-sector construction across the full lifecycle

Public-sector projects often extend across many years and involve numerous organizations and contractors. Solibri supports model validation for public-sector construction programs throughout each phase of the project lifecycle.

During early design stages, validation helps confirm that digital models follow defined regulatory standards and coordination requirements. As projects evolve, structured clash detection and rule-based checks help multidisciplinary teams maintain alignment across federated models.

When projects move toward construction and delivery, validated models support contractors and project managers by improving coordination confidence and reducing the risk of design conflicts.

This structured approach strengthens public infrastructure BIM quality assurance, helping governments maintain consistency across large infrastructure portfolios.

Public-sector environments supported by Solibri

Government organizations increasingly rely on digital models to support both regulatory oversight and infrastructure delivery. Solibri enables structured validation across several key public-sector environments.

Solibri in digital
permitting workflows

Digital building permitting connects designers, regulators, and project stakeholders through model-based approval processes.

Solibri supports these workflows by enabling structured validation of submitted project models before regulatory review.

Typical digital permitting workflow

  1. Designers submit digital building models for permit review
  2. Authorities apply rule-based validation aligned with regulatory requirements
  3. Validation results identify compliance issues early
  4. Updated models are reviewed and approved before construction begins

This process improves transparency, accelerates regulatory review cycles, and ensures that approved designs meet defined quality standards.

Why governments and municipalities rely on Solibri

Public-sector organizations adopt Solibri to introduce structured validation into digital construction workflows.

Solibri provides government model checking software that enables authorities and project teams to verify model quality through rule-based validation rather than relying solely on manual review processes.

This structured approach allows organizations to detect issues earlier, maintain transparency across project stakeholders, and ensure that publicly funded construction projects meet defined regulatory requirements.

Deployment aligned with public-sector IT environments

Government organizations often operate within restricted or regulated IT environments where connectivity and data governance must follow strict policies.

Solibri supports deployment models aligned with these requirements, including Security+, designed for environments requiring offline or air-gapped operation.

This allows government agencies to implement model validation workflows while maintaining compliance with internal IT governance and security frameworks.
