News
From February 2027 we are resuming GUBIMCat's technical meetings, every two months, at the premises of the col·legi de delineants (carrer de Casp, 130, Barcelona). The themed calendar will be built from the proposals we receive by 15 January.

The ungoverned space between Project Management and BIM Management. On 3 November 2026 GUBIMCat, PMI Construcción España and La Salle's Master of Science in Project Management co-organised a conference at La Salle Campus Barcelona on this lack of governance over information. The conclusions will be published in a summary report.
How it went →GuBIMclass has moved from being a project run by GUBIMCat into the hands of the Comissió BIM de Catalunya (CoBIMCat), which is extending its scope to civil works, transport, ports and airports. The agreement was presented on 3 November 2025 in the Saló de Cent of Barcelona City Hall, with the Generalitat de Catalunya, Barcelona Provincial Council, the Barcelona Metropolitan Area, Barcelona City Council and the Ajuntament de Sant Feliu de Llobregat. The original authors handed over its management, and Diego Vidoni, a GUBIMCat member, chaired the public authorities' round table.
More about the agreement ↗Technical Meetings · February 2027
For years, the Technical Meetings were where the Catalan BIM sector told each other, face to face, what works and what doesn't. We're bringing them back: one talk, an open debate and the people who make BIM happen in Catalonia, in the same room.
Proposals until 15 January
30–40 minute talk plus questions. You don't need to be a member or to have ever spoken in public.
Open calls
After a break, the Technical Meetings are back: in-person gatherings, open to everyone, at the col·legi de delineants in Barcelona. Each meeting is built around a 30 to 40-minute talk followed by questions.
Projects, experiences and tools from across the BIM ecosystem are all welcome: openBIM and interoperability, software, training, GIS, applied artificial intelligence and anything else you'd like to add. You don't need to be a member or to have ever spoken in public. With the proposals received by 15 January 2027, the programme committee, coordinated by the Coordinating Board, will put together the year's themed calendar.
Open · until 15 January
Do you have a BIM project, experience or tool worth sharing? Send us a title, the topic, a short summary and the months that suit you best. That's enough to start the conversation.

EUBIM 2026
From 20 to 23 May, Valencia hosted EUBIM 2026, the 15th BIM Users Meeting, organised by the Universitat Politècnica de València. At the gathering of BIM user groups, GUBIMCat presented a review of its 2025–2026 activity, with one milestone standing out: the agreement among several public authorities under which management of GuBIMclass passes to the Comissió BIM de Catalunya.
Several GUBIMCat members also presented their work. Eloi Coloma, director of the Master's in BIM Management at UPC School, presented GreenBIMxels, the data space for the sustainable digitalisation of public facilities, part of UPC's multi-sector data space. Maria Duran, BIM manager, and Montserrat Monteagudo, director of cartographic innovation projects, both from the Barcelona Metropolitan Area, presented GIS-BIM integration through the open IFC format, with the BIM models of the territory that can be downloaded from our Repository.
