‘Mongolia-UK Infrastructure Forum’ Discusses Digital Construction
Society
Ulaanbaatar, November 28, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The “Mongolia-UK Infrastructure Forum: Digital Construction” was held.
Based on Mongolia’s need to
transition to the digital system of Building Information Modeling /BIM/, the British
Embassy in Mongolia and the Ministry of Urban Development, Construction, and
Housing (MUDCH) of Mongolia co-organized the Forum, which discussed digital
transformations in infrastructure development, building information modelling, and digital
reform in the construction sector, specifically, policies regarding the implementation
of BIM in Mongolia.
A project developed in accordance
with BIM methodologies has the advantage of anticipating potential issues that
may arise during construction and preventing risks. Participants of the Forum
held discussions on studying best practices worldwide and aligning them with
Mongolia’s policies and market conditions.
During the event, M. Bayaraa,
State Secretary of the MUDCH, stated, “BIM has become a foundational
technology that connects all project participants within a single information
environment and integrates all stages, from planning, design, manufacturing,
and construction to monitoring and operation, through data-driven solutions. We
will pay special attention to implementing and localizing model projects that
will be mandatory for government- and internationally funded projects,
developing a unified platform, digitizing operations in stages, and training
and strengthening the capacity of engineers and technical staff in the sector.
This Forum is an important platform for jointly building experience, knowledge,
and technology.”
Around the world, construction and
infrastructure development are rapidly shifting toward digitalization. Mongolia
also continuously supports digital transformation as a matter of national
policy. For instance, both the long-term development policy “Vision 2050” and
the Government’s “State Policy on the Construction Sector” set the goal of introducing
the Building Project Management and Information Integration System (BIM) at the
national level.
