Since the development of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and various data-driven tools in the construction industry, there have been several studies related to their implementation, application, as well as established benefits. The purpose of this research is to investigate implementation barriers to the widespread adoption of BIM and data-driven tools in the construction industry. The importance of an understanding of their contribution to the success of construction projects.
The review of the existing literature has been the basis for understanding the benefits, the limitations, and implementation barriers. In answering the industry perspective on this issue, research has employed a survey strategy, which contained a web-based questionnaire, as well as semi-structured interviews.
Results obtained from the literature and survey show that barriers such as lack of standardisation, process limitations as well as barriers related to people and organisational culture are the main challenges now. It was also discovered that the main success factors for companies in the industry remain to be the golden triangle of time, cost and quality.
Although BIM and data-driven affect projects positively, especially in terms of increased collaboration between the project parties, it is, however, hard to measure their direct ability to save time or money now. It is only clear from the research findings that BIM and data-driven tools would elevate the quality of projects in the construction industry. However, to reap and secure their full benefits, all the challenges and pitfalls need to be worked on, negotiated and solved. The benefits could be accomplished and enjoyed if some changes are implemented in the industry, such as the development of common international BIM guideline and standards, training, up-skilling of industry people and support of industry clients to drive further the adoption of such technologies.
