http://www.buildingsmartnordic.org

Founded in August 1996, the BuildingSMART Nordic (formerly named IAI Nordic Chapter) consisted of four national groups: Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. In 2009 Norway decided to form their own Chapter. buildingSMART Norway is an observer in buildingSMART Nordic. These national groups are carrying out activities in various domains, individually but also within the BuildingSMART umbrella for projects of common interest. The BuildingSMART Nordic focuses mainly on the implementation of BIM/IFC standards in real projects, through common and national projects.
