Abstract

The construction industry is one of the important pillars of the economy. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a set of technologies that aims to enhance collaboration across the architecture, engineering, and construction industries to improve the productivity and quality of the design, construction, and maintenance phases of a building. Rethinking construction is the key to increasing productivity. However, BIM has not been widely adopted in the construction industry. It is necessary to understand the main problems hindering the implementation of BIM, consider the appropriate strategies that can be applied to gain a deeper understanding of BIM, conduct a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the factors influencing the implementation of BIM. Based on a literature review, a questionnaire survey and the collection of statistical data, factors of a negative impact on the implementation of BIM were identified. The results show that key factors influencing BIM adoption include a lack of trained professionals, of investment in staff training, of BIM standardization, as well as the position of leadership in organizations. This article puts forward some proposals to promote the implementation of BIM and specific measures to implement the widespread use of BIM technology in the construction industry.
