Digitalization of National Construction Codes and a National Common Data Framework

The overall objective of this project is to enable broader utilization of productivity-enhancing digital construction practices in Canada. The National Research Council (NRC) is seeking proposals from experienced vendors for initial scoping stage of the project will include analyses of current state, requirements, target state, gaps and preliminary implementation planning for the following foundational elements of a scalable digital construction value chain: • Digitalization of the National Model Construction Codes into a machine-readable format (compatible with Building Information Modelling - BIM); and • Standardized national Common Data Framework, including data standards and data exchange mechanisms, as a basis for an anticipated future national Common Data Environment to support digital construction activities and efficient information flow (including digitalized construction codes between regulators, asset owners and built environment sector practitioners (e.g., architectural, engineering, construction).
