Competence & Learning — a modular language
Roles, Profiles & Flows is one product of Project C, the BIM Excellence Initiative's programme for competence-based learning, certification and improvement.
Where this app sits
Three nested containers — the wider initiative, the programme, and this app.
An international research-and-delivery network publishing shared concepts, taxonomies and tools for digital transformation in the built environment.
bimexcellence.orgDevelops and maintains the modular language — components, indices and methods — that underpin every role, profile and learning artefact described here.
An authoring and reference layer that operationalises Project C — including the BFB collaboration as its first applied dataset.
What Project C is
The programme's own definition of scope and intent.
Project C — Competence and Learning aims to develop and maintain a competency-based modular language for continuous learning and improvement. This language — composed of components, indices and methods — provides a robust structure for defining roles, developing competence-based learning materials and introducing or improving competence certification and micro-accreditation programmes.
The components include defined roles, competency profiles and action statements; the indices include the IRI and ICI that quantify each role-profile edge.
The BIM Forum Brazil collaboration
One application of Project C — and the dataset shipped with this app.
BIM Forum Brazil (BFB) Working Group 6 used the Project C language to define the Structure of Educational Objectives and BIM Competencies across the Brazilian market. Roles and profiles were validated through national workshops; some deliverables were supported by BFB sponsors, while most activities were conducted as a volunteering effort by BIMei and BFB members.
The project concluded in early 2026 and was delivered as a formal report in Portuguese on 16 March 2026: Matriz Brasileira de Competências BIM. The report can be downloaded from bimforum.org.br/publicacoes-bfb.
- A conceptual scheme to establish BIM Educational Objectives and Competencies focused on the Brazilian market.
- A reference for the minimum content of BIM professional training.
- A reference for the certification of BIM professionals in Brazil.
- Sensitising learners to the skills and knowledge they need to develop.
How this app supports Project C
An authoring and reference layer on top of the modular language.
Build competency profiles from items; assemble roles from profiles; set the IRI and ICI for each edge.
Navigate published roles and profiles, cross-cut the role × profile matrix, and inspect the information uses referenced by each profile.
