Why Attend the International BIM Conference?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is rapidly becoming a critical component in construction projects, and collaboration is essential for successful implementation. BIM is revolutionizing the traditional construction industry by digitizing its processes and providing valuable information throughout a project’s lifecycle, resulting in increased productivity, safety, and economics.

However, the full potential of BIM has yet to be realized, and there are still engineering problems to be solved with BIM and digital technology. The upcoming international conference provides a unique opportunity to explore technical advancements, exchange knowledge, and learn from case studies and empirical research.

Our conference will take place in the Ballroom Casablanca.

We’re thrilled to host our International BIM Conference at the Ballroom Casablanca. The venue’s 5 rooms, advanced technology, and diverse food options make it perfect for our event. Conveniently located near the airport and train station, attendees will have no trouble finding us. We can’t wait to collaborate with them to create an unforgettable experience.

we will be discussing in this conference

  • Construction 4.0: Why it’s time to adopt BIM and digital construction
  • BIM and automation in buildings
  • How is BIM and digitalization transforming construction?
  • BIM and Cloud Technology
  • The integration of digital twins and BIM technologies
  • The exciting role of BIM in facility management: Enhancing operational efficiency in 2023
  • Future trends in BIM
  • Digital building lifecycle: using BIM for offsite construction
  • IoT-BIM – based digital transformation in facilities management
  • BIM is creating a structure of innovation to drive construction into the digital Era

Simohamed Lharrak 's topic

BIM has been widely adopted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the adoption of Construction 4.0 – a technology revolution seeking to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of construction project delivery. To adopt BIM in Morocco, recognize benefits such as reducing costs, shortening time, and improving quality. Barriers to adoption include lack of awareness, training, and standardization. The government can promote adoption by mandating BIM use in public projects.

Badre Mouzouni's topic

How to adopt BIM in the building construction sector in Morocco? Adopting Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Moroccan construction sector requires a systematic approach that considers several aspects, including education and training, technological infrastructure, industry standards, and collaboration among stakeholders. Here are some steps that can help with BIM adoption in Morocco: -Awareness and education -Skills development -Investment in technological infrastructure -Standardization -Pilot projects

Khalil Idrissi Gartoumi's topic

Future trends in BIM

  1. The growth of this concept from its first publication and adoption in 1992 to date.
  2. Key BIM Trends in 2023.
  3. BIM combat against COVID-19: Lessons, opportunities, and roles.
  4. Synergistic BIM linkage and trends: Overview of the new Framework carriers.
  5. BIM for the entire construction lifecycle: Framework, collaborative linkage and added value in the construction phase.

Yousra Talha's topic

  • How collaborative paltforms can be so beneficial to make the collaboration more fluent: all 3D models and documents related to the project are hosted on the cloud which allows an advanced collaboration (integrated BIM) since BIM data can be stored and accessed by multiple parties in real time regardless of their location.
  • BIM data is more secured since cloud technology allows to the BIM Manager to control who has access to the data and manage upload history.
  • On the construction site, project teams can easily access real time data and share information which reduces the risk of errors and improves construction health and safety.

Aicha Elrhedouini's topic

“The integration of digital twins and BIM technologies”

  • The use of BIM and IOT to create the data needed for digital twins;
  • The role of the digital twin to support BIM GEM (Management, Operation, Maintenance);
  • The digital twin as a continuation of BIM to capitalize on Design-Build BIM;
  • Some use cases and digital twins;
  • Benefits of implementing a digital twin to lead a digital strategy.

Mohammed Berrada 's topic

The role of BIM in sustainable architecture: How BIM is involved in the design of architectural projects to enable optimal sustainability.

Seifeddine Boudaya's topic

  • Perspective of an Owner with the advantages and disadvantages of implementing BIM in Morocco focusing on:
  • The stakeholders involved in the construction process from the Owner to the Construction companies, and the disparity in skill level among the different stakeholders.
  • The difference in project organization between a BIM project and a traditional project.
  • The additional investment cost of BIM for an Owner such as a Real Estate Developer, with a comparative example between a project with and without BIM.

Yahya Chehboun's topic

  • Easy collaboration between the office and the field
  • Intuitive monitoring of work progress
  • Visualization and comparison of the BIM model with reality
  • Early identification of errors and faster decision making
  • Simple integration into your process (support for file formats)
  • Common files and seamless integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud

Abdeljalil Agourram's topic

Using BIM challenges traditional notions of professional responsibility and creates new legal and liability issues

Abdeljalil Agourram will discuss legal and contractual issues in BIM projects include contractual framework, effects on original agreements, linking to subcontracts, design liability, standard of care, project insurance and risk, and protection of digital data.
