Organisers & Partners
Â
The 8th Annual BIM Africa Conference 2025 is proudly organised by MILLASA, a leader in professional development and capacity building within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Through these partnerships, BIM Africa Conference 2025 aims to bridge the gap between traditional construction practices and modern digital methodologies, empowering professionals with the tools, insights, and networks necessary to drive the industry forward.
About The Programme
The construction industry is entering a new era of digital transformation, driven by the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM), blockchain, data management and the Internet of Things (IoT). These innovations promise to revolutionise how buildings and infrastructure are designed, built, and managed. However, the industry still faces persistent challenges such as inefficiencies, cost overruns, sustainability concerns, and the need for better collaboration across complex project ecosystems.
BIM has emerged as a powerful tool to address these challenges by enabling smarter project planning, resource optimisation, and enhanced communication between stakeholders. As BIM continues to evolve, the integration of blockchain and IoT offers further opportunities to streamline construction processes, ensure transparency in project management, and create intelligent, sustainable buildings.
The “Digital Revolution in Construction: Unlocking BIM’s Full Potential” conference serves as a cutting-edge platform for Spatial Planning, Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (SPAECO) professionals and academics to explore the latest advancements in BIM technology. This year’s event will focus on how BIM, in tandem with blockchain and IoT, is reshaping the construction industry, driving efficiency, and promoting sustainable building practices. Topics will include the future of BIM software, sustainability initiatives, research and best practices for overcoming adoption challenges.Â
The conference will also highlight research, case studies and real-world applications, showcasing the impact of digital technologies on the construction landscape. This event is an invaluable opportunity for SPAECO professionals and academics to connect, share knowledge, and discover how digital tools are unlocking the full potential of BIM, setting the foundation for a smarter, more connected future in construction.
