Details	:	In 2017, the HKSAR Government decreed that BIM technology must be used in the design and construction of all major government capital works projects with a project cost estimate of more than HK$30 million that were scheduled to start during or after 2018, and that the use of this technology in private construction projects should also be promoted. This has generated a surge in demand for BIM personnel and training needs. To ensure that construction professionals have appropriate skill levels and competency in using BIM technology, and that the scope and quality of BIM courses provided in the market meet the needs of the industry, it was important to establish a certification body for BIM personnel and an accreditation body for BIM courses in Hong Kong. To facilitate the healthy development of BIM in Hong Kong, the Construction Industry Council (CIC) has introduced the BIM Certification and Accreditation Schemes to ascertain the competency of BIM personnel and the quality of local BIM training courses. In order to meet the increasing demand of BIM personnel as project BIM team leaders and coordinators according to the BIM structure requirement specified in DevB’s Technical Circular for the “Adoption of Building Information Modelling”, it is essential to build up capacity and capability of HKIS members for adopting BIM in property and construction projects. In this regard, the HKIS sets up the BIM Assessment and Listing Scheme and creates a listing system through which applicants may apply for admission to the List of “Surveyor BIM Pro”. The objectives of listing are to ensure that the applicants have acquired the recognised training and prescribed practical BIM experience and have attained a level of knowledge in professional practice acceptable to the HKIS for admission to the List of Surveyor BIM Pro. A streamlined procedure is also agreed with CIC where if an applicant wishes to become a HKIS Surveyor BIM Pro and CIC-Certified BIM Manager (CCBM), the applicant is only required to submit one application. No separate application is required to be submitted to CIC for certification as a CCBM. The HKIS will send one copy of the application documents to CIC for their review. To avoid duplication in assessment, the approval/disapproval of Surveyor BIM Pro and CCBM will be bundled, i.e., applicants will be approved/disapproved by HKIS as Surveyor BIM Pro with the same outcome of approval/disapproval of CCBM by the CIC BIM Certification and Accreditation Board (BIMCAB). HKIS BIM Committee, CIC’s representative, HKIS BIM Manager training course provider, BSI’s representative, would introduce the scheme for the HKIS’ members.
