Public Works Ministry Runs Integrated BIM and Common Data Environment on School Projects

The BIM system integrated with the ministry's CDE now covers procurement, contractors, supervision consultants and auditors, with progress tracked against 3D models.

Indonesia's Public Works Ministry is applying Building Information Modeling integrated with its Common Data Environment (CDE) on the second phase of the Sekolah Rakyat school construction program, Public Works Minister Dody Hanggodo said in an announcement published 28 October 2026. All project data and documents, including document management, approval flows, reviews and issue logging, are managed in a single shared digital ecosystem used by the project owner, contractors, construction management, planning consultants and auditors.

Progress is monitored by comparing 3D models against field conditions, supported by photo and video documentation and S-curve schedules. The ministry framed the approach as strengthening accountability and transparency in public construction procurement, indicating the CDE is becoming standard working practice rather than a pilot.

The ministry framed the shift as part of modernizing public construction practice across the entire project delivery chain.
