The state of BIM in the Netherlands: 2026 report

High Adoption & Maturity

The Netherlands is recognized as a leader in Building Information Modelling (BIM) adoption, with a highly mature construction sector that has moved beyond basic implementation to focus on standardized workflows and intelligent asset management.

From Control to Intelligence

While previous years focused on establishing BIM as a reliable foundation for predictability and coordination, 2026 is characterized by a shift toward 'BIM intelligence.' This involves leveraging models for predictive outcomes, increased automation of routine tasks (like model checks and validation), and deeper integration with digital twins.

Strategic Drivers

Government mandates are increasingly making BIM a compliance requirement for public infrastructure. Furthermore, BIM is a key enabler for meeting EU goals regarding carbon emissions, construction waste reduction, and energy efficiency.
