This open letter originated from a workshop held on September 9 in Vancouver, attended by a diverse group of BC’s AEC thought leaders. During an intensive session, participants explored four main discussion streams:
The value proposition of digital delivery for public projects
The rationale for why BC’s industry is ready, why the province is the right place, and why now is the right time
The core principles that should guide digital delivery in public projects
Implementation strategies to help all levels of government adopt digital delivery requirements
After the workshop, the BIMbc team carefully reviewed and organized all notes, written inputs, and discussion outcomes from the four groups. Using this material, the team drafted the first version of the open letter, structured around the four discussion streams to ensure all perspectives were represented. Each section was then reviewed in detail by the facilitators of the respective groups to verify that the content accurately captured the intent and tone of the workshop dialogue.
Once the internal revisions were completed, the draft was shared with all workshop participants for feedback. Attendees were encouraged to comment directly and suggest refinements to improve clarity, accuracy, and alignment. This open review process ensured that the letter reflects the collective voice of the participants rather than a single viewpoint.
With this step now complete, BIMbc has begun circulating the open letter among the wider industry to gather signatures of support. This marks the transition from discussion to collective action—building a shared voice for advancing digital delivery in British Columbia’s public projects.
We recognize crafting a single letter that reflects such a wide range of insights while remaining concise and effective has required some compromises. We appreciate the collective spirit that has guided this effort and the shared commitment to presenting a unified message that represents the strength of British Columbia’s AEC community.
