Building Information Modelling: Challenges, Benefits, and Prospects for Adoption in Developing Countries
In the fast-expanding construction industry worldwide, building information modelling (BIM) is a robust process. However, to date, developing countries are not very well adopting the techniques proven to help significantly produce effective management of construction projects. This study reviews numerous current studies conducted on the challenges and benefits of adopting BIM. It aims to identify the challenges and benefits of BIM. Additional focus was given to developing countries since fewer documented articles were found in the literature. However, many challenges are identified which hinder BIM adoption to full potential, particularly in developing countries. The most common findings proposed five critical benefits of BIM adoption, namely: i) improved data management (rich) information; ii) improved visualization of project execution; iii) clash detection; iv) reducing waste in the material; v) reducing the financial risk associated with the project in order by obtaining earlier reliable cost estimates. Likewise, the most common findings defined five major BIM adoption obstacles are: i) resilience to change industry culture; ii) high Investment cost; iii) lack of client demand; iv) absence of stakeholder collaboration; v) lack of awareness. It was found that there is a considerable benefit gained by those construction organizations already practicing the information modelling. Most of the organizations that adopted BIM are situated in European countries, followed by the united states of America. Thus, future work should focus on how to raise the level of awareness and general adaptability, especially in developing nations.
