Mandating the adoption of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) at a national level promises to enhance standardization, interoperability, and operational efficiency within the construction sector, unlocking productivity and sustainability benefits across built asset lifecycles.
Many nations and organizations are leveraging IFC to encourage and support digital adoption. Mandating IFC ensures data is open and available, and directives enable interoperable working methods. The benefits of mandating IFC are clear: it provides consistenca, clarity and reliability, and it is a foundational framework that is open, non-proprietary,
and vendor-neutral.
