Scope and Hurdles for Spreading Building Information Modeling into Indian Project Management Construction Industry
The research attempts to assess the challenges faced by the construction industry in India for the implementation of BIM (Building Information Modeling) Methodology. India being a developing country has a lot of potential in the development of Infrastructure with its increasing Industrial and digital economy. The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry and public institutions in India face numerous challenges such as cost overrun, time overrun, as well as project quality and coordination issues due to the complexity of its nature. With public and private projects being delayed, there is a demand for the use of a promising solution that can overcome these challenges and increase the productivity of the AEC sector. Construction project management (CPM) firms play a vital role in efficient and effective project deliverables. On the other hand, the key concept of BIM methodology has relied persistently on construction industries around the world for more than a decade now for its well-known functions towards project success. Therefore, this research work addresses the demonstration of project management processes using BIM methodology as well as to identify the built environment’s approach towards BIM growth in the Indian industry. The research focuses on the various hurdles faced by the CPM industry through the analyses of six case studies and a professional survey. The results concluded that although there are numerous challenges to implement BIM in the Indian construction industry, the Indian government is encouraging the built environment to adopt digital solutions to compensate for the additional costs required on projects. The literature, survey, and case studies analyses conclude that BIM is the future and will serve as an essential tool for managing Indian construction projects. On the other hand, the opportunities and constraints of adopting BIM methodology in the Indian market are successfully addressed and a strategy towards significant growth of BIM industry in India also elaborated in this research work. Keywords: Building Information Modeling (BIM); AEC industry; Construction Project Management(CPM); BIM future opportunities and constraints; India.
