Basic Concept for BIM-Based Building Review
Overview
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism formulated a basic concept for introducing BIM data review, scheduled for spring 2029, covering review methods, review items for priority consideration, the implementation process, and the division of roles among stakeholders. The BIM data review system will introduce view-based review and digital review using AI and programs, aiming to improve the efficiency and quality of building confirmation and inspections. Future discussions are expected to proceed based on the basic concept.

Overview
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has promoted the use of BIM through public-private collaboration. Based on discussions to date, it formulated a basic concept outlining the BIM data review system for building confirmation and inspections, the implementation process, and the division of roles among stakeholders. The publication date is September 18, 2026.
Impact
The introduction of view-based review and digital review using AI and programs is expected to improve the efficiency and quality of building confirmation and inspections.
Details
BIM data review is a system that uses BIM data itself for building confirmation and inspections. It combines view-based review, which displays information according to the review items, with digital review using AI and programs to support the review.
The review items covered will be considered in order of priority based on factors such as the extent of their contribution to improved review efficiency and the amount of work required for consideration. Various future discussions are expected to be conducted based on the basic concept.
BIM is described as a method for constructing a building information model that combines primarily three-dimensional shape information with attribute information such as room names and areas, materials, component specifications and performance, and finishes. The discussions to date were conducted by the Building BIM Promotion Council, established in June 2019.
