FIEC launched a BIM Working Group in 2016, to tackle the subject of Building Information.
Modelling and its impact on contractors in the EU. This group quickly became a working
group focused on the wider aspects of digitalisation, under a new name, the “Construction 4.0 Working Group”.

Why FIEC is dealing with this issue/topic and its objective(s)
The main aim of this group is to follow relevant policy developments, inform member federations and select priority issues for more in depth research and discussion, in order to develop our positions.
