Study On BIM Advantages And Barriers To Its Adoption On Construction Project Sites In India - Vol.34(3), Jul-Sep - Pune NICMAR 2019 - 25-31p.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is well established within the construction industry in developed countries. Use ofBIM on building construction project sites has significant potential to improve performance on such projects. Previous research related to BIM showed that use ofBIM on construction project sites reduces reworks, changes and increases overall productivity. Despite, BIM has not taken roots as a designing approach in India. Construction industry in India is at a nascent stage in the adoption ofBIM for design and construction ofdifferent projects. This situation has promoted the need for research to investigate advantages ofBIM adoption as well as barriers to the same. A questionnaire survey was used to collect primary data regarding BIM advantages and barriers to its adoption. The questionnaire is intended to determine the professionals' opinions about BIM advantages and barriers to its adoption at construction projects. The questionnaire was developed by using extensive literature review. Relative Importance Index (RII) was calculated to rank advantages and barriers. This research study will help construction industry stakeholders to understand barriers to BIM adoption. Construction project stakeholders can overcome such barriers towards usage ofBIM across their construction projects.
