OpenBIM in practice: what works, what breaks, what’s missing?, February 2, 2026

The short survey titled "Open BIM in Design", is created to collect the stakeholders' feedback from daily experience on how openBIM is used during design. The survey investigates where does interoperability still create friction? and what would make data exchange more reliable across tools and disciplines?

We welcome responses and insights from:

• Architects and engineers
• BIM managers and coordinators
• Clients and asset owners
• Contractors and specialist planners
• Software and platform providers
