     In conjunction with the buildingSMART ITM meeting in Singapore from 19 to 21

September 2011, buildingSMART Singapore is kicking off a buildingSMART Build

ASIA Live BIM international competition which we hope will create greater

awareness on BIM and IFC among industry practitioners all over the world.
     The Build ASIA Live@Singapore will be a 48 hour event which aims to showcase the

integrated design and collaborative features of BIM in construction. Teams from all

over the world will be allocated a site in Singapore and design brief just before the

commencement of the competition. The teams will be expected to use the arrays of

features available in BIM to create detailed designs and proposals. Teams will be

given instructions to submit their models and supporting documents at different

stages of the competition to a registered site (to be given at a later date).
