Welcome to buildingSMART
buildingSMART International is the global authority leading the digital transformation of the built asset environment. By creating and promoting the adoption of open, international standards for infrastructure and buildings, buildingSMART empowers industry visionaries to transform the design, delivery, and operation of tomorrow’s built assets. Committed to driving change, buildingSMART champions the use of standards and digital workflows to unlock innovation and efficiency.
Open, international digital data-sharing standards are essential to this transformation. They enable businesses—owners, architects, engineers, contractors, and operators—to become global leaders by mitigating risks, saving time, and reducing costs. As an open, neutral, and international not-for-profit organization, buildingSMART serves as a trusted platform for advancing these critical initiatives.
