NICMAR Journal of construction managementSummary: t is believed that the Indian AEC industry is lagging behind when it comes to building information modeling (BIM) adoption. Therefore, the purpose ofthis research is to establish a clear understanding ofthe present level ofawareness ofBIM. Furthermore, the study aims to identify significant BIM functions and barriers that might impact the BIM adoption rate. With the help ofa survey method, a questionnaire was distributed to the target sample of80 professionals out ofwhich 65 responded by completing the questionnaire. The researcher selected the sample using a convenience sampling technique. The responses were analyzed using the relative importance index (RII) method to draw the results. The results indicate the current status ofBIM awareness and reveal the factors that influence BIM adoption in the form of key BIM functions and barriers from the perspective ofprofessionals. Indian professionals working in the field oftechnology can use the results drawn in the form ofBIM key functions to provide more focused training about them, to ensure their successful diffusion. They can also work on eliminating the key barriers to boost the BIM uptake. Previous researches have essentially focused on finding out the BIM's presence in India. This research contributes primarily by examining, from the perspective ofprofessionals, and using the relative importance index (RII) method to identify the critical factors involved in BIM adoption. Establishing such critical factors is ofsignificant value as they can expedite or hinder BIM's adoption rate in India.
