NICMAR Journal of construction managementSummary: Housing is one of the physiological needs of human beings, and simultaneously, it is a big concern for an individual to get on time and at a reasonable price. In the Indian scenario, the need and importance of sustainable mass housing development projects have been discussed for decades but not efficiently implemented by the government. This implementation was not done due to the ineffective utilization of construction resources and technological advancement. To address the urban housing shortage, the Indian government has set a goal of constructing 115 lakh houses for the economically weaker section by 2022. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an integrated process to enhance coordination among all stakeholders and efficiently improve the utilization of resources. Before putting BIM into practice in affordable housing projects, analyzing the challenges for its implementation is required. In this paper, eleven critical challenges are identified from the literature and input taken from field experts. The identified challenges are ranked and further prioritized using MCDM (Multi-criteria decisionmaking) method. This work is targeted to focus the construction professionals on implementing BIM in affordable mass housing projects.
