Message from the General Director of
the Office of National Regulations and
Building Control
Mr. Hamed Mani Far
The country’s economy in recent years with a lot of vicissitudes, which were influential on the country’s production and industry space. Non-industrial and even semi-industrial construction, that our country is facing today, duplicates the various technical and executive field affiliations to the human’s expertise, power, and will. The construction industry due to the same challenges, brings about the loss of human resources and the manifestation of this issue in the low productivity indices in the consumption section of resources and energy is not suitable in the country’s construction industry. Considering the importance of the building industry and all the challenges and problems with which it is involved, a valuable targeting is also considered in the form of national programs for the development of this industry. The national program for technology, especially the innovative technologies in this industry and observing the advanced standards in quality, safety, and strength of the buildings are included in these targeting. In the field of information monitoring of construction industry, launching the integrated information system of the standard building materials and equipment for creating the suitable structure in order to sharing the technical and executive data in some efforts is on the agenda of the goal makers. For this purpose, the office of national regulations and building control and the ministry of roads and urban development also discussed a report on the status of BIM in the country and has published its comparative comparison with other countries in the world. And the office has investigated and studied the position and responsibilities of the most ministry departments, organizations, institutions, and professional forums in the process of BIM application, and accordingly, the ministers board by the approval letter number 164159 dated 2019/26/02 obliged the ministry of roads and urban development to within six months, after the formation of a teamwork with the presence of the related organization, formulate a strategic document.
This document must include instructions for creating and application and development of BIM, including the goals and roadmap by specifying the missions of each of the related organizations and predicting its implementation guarantees, like how to supply the relevant costs of measure. And if necessary, the office must present the required provisions for approval in the board of ministers with respect to the article 22 of the government’s internal laws. This approval is a turning point in the country’s construction industry and I hope that by supporting all the fans and administers of the building industry, the holding the annual conference of BIM will be constant, and by the application of BIM in the country innovative technologies enter this industry and its related industries.
