Who are we?


The Digital Built Environment Institute (DBEI) is global non-profit institution involved in the promotion of Building Information Modelling. Our membership comprises of professionals from the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry who organise teaching conferences and seminar events to share knowledge and experience with the aim of advancing people, processes, and technology in the AEC industry.

We are run ‘by users, for users’, and our network/community gives us an insight into changing technology and market conditions. We are not driven primarily by commercial imperatives, but rather the fostering of a community. Our not-for-profit community comprises of thought leaders, technology implementers, practitioners and end users. We believe that those who work daily within the AEC industry are best placed to train others in the critical knowledge and skill sets required to excel in our industry. We are all about sharing knowledge, working smarter and more collaboratively. Our aim is to help the industry improve how it works – and our community is passionate about this.
