According to the plan, Kazakhstan will mandate the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology from 2026, and all new residential and commercial projects must use BIM for design, construction, and operation. At the same time, the country will use the E-Qurylys e-government system to automate the entire project approval process, and establish a building digital passport with 18 unique UNO identification codes for each building. The building code provisions will be converted into machine-readable standards, and AI will scan the BIM model for compliance.

This digital reform directly targets the three major pain points that have long existed in the post Soviet space: corruption, inefficiency, and security risks. Through the precise calculation of BIM models, regulatory agencies can easily compare material procurement data and effectively curb false reporting and claims; Automated approval will significantly reduce the space for human operation; The digital passport system provides strong regulatory support for urban development in earthquake prone areas.

With BIM technology becoming a market entry barrier, Chinese overseas enterprises are facing multiple opportunities. In the software field, Chinese BIM software companies such as Guanglian Da and Sver can localize and adapt mature 5D BIM solutions in China to meet the needs of the Kazakhstan market for multilingual support, local pricing rules, and tax systems. In the field of smart construction sites, there is a strong demand for solutions such as drone inspections, construction robots, and AI security monitoring. In the field of engineering general contracting, China State Construction Engineering Corporation, China Railway Group, and other companies have already undertaken landmark projects in Harbin. Enterprises with mature BIM teams will have an overwhelming advantage in project bidding. In addition, equipment manufacturers that can provide hardware intelligence and cloud based data services, as well as digital general contracting service providers with full chain BIM data integration capabilities, will seize the opportunity in this transformation.
