“…BIM implementation has gained prominence in the last decade, in the United States of America, Singapore, United Kingdom, Australia and some Nordic countries [7] [8].Further, many of the Asian and Middle Eastern countries started adopting the BIM on their private sector projects [9].Further, Dubai to host EXPO 2020, necessitates many more innovative and complex infrastructure projects to be built. Dubai Municipality mandated the implementation of BIM in its significant capital projects from 2014 [6].…”

Abstract. Many modern complex building projects in the public and private sectors are characterized by its poor information management which is manifested by time and cost overruns around the world. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is currently being adopted around the world with various countries mandated its implementation. In specific, the implementation of BIM is rapidly growing in developed countries such as USA, UK, Singapore and Australia, with government mandate through devising strategies and initiatives to increase the adoption. The implementation of BIM in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other developing countries lags behind due to the existence of numerous implementation barriers. This study explores the current status of BIM implementation in the UAE municipalities, further explores the people, process and technology readiness towards BIM adoption in the UAE building projects. Further the study also explores the current challenges against the BIM adoption. The study adopts a positivists approach by collecting data through questionnaires, a sample of sixty participants across the UAE municipalities from different states were selected randomly to acquire the data. The collected data is statistically analyzed to obtain the findings. The analysis results showed that there are inadequate people and process related readiness towards BIM adoption whereas the technology readiness does exist. The same also was reflected in further analysis on BIM adoption barriers as the challenges.

Abstract. This paper presents our initial study on Building Information Modeling (BIM) adoption urgency for architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry in Indonesia. Currently, BIM is being adopted by many countries around the world because of its' efficiency and other benefits. Meanwhile, most of AEC industries in Indonesia still using the conventional method and there are no regulations from Indonesian AEC authority for adopting BIM. With that situation, a study of BIM adoption in Indonesian AEC industries is important. This study uses a qualitative approach with explorative type. Input from the survey is evaluated qualitatively using content analysis, distribution analysis and correspondence analysis method. Based on analysis result, it shows that BIM as a mean to encourage a more sustainable approach in AEC industry is still in its development phase but it shows great potentials and it gives stakeholders a better way to achieve sustainable built environment. Current lack of awareness and understanding of BIM in Indonesia, particularly in the education sector, is a key factor that impedes BIM adoption and one that can be addressed by integrating BIM into AEC curriculum. Government and practitioners alike need to develop a strategic roadmap to pave way for successful BIM implementation.

In recent years, there has been growing public and private interest in Chile in implementing plans promoting the use of Building Information Modeling. However, the lack of local studies hinders the creation of policies suited to the particular conditions of the country. In response, we present a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the macro-scale adoption of BIM in Chile during the 2013-2016 period, based on two national surveys conducted among architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals. At first glance, the overall results coincide with other countries with similar development level, but a more detailed analysis evidences unique local conditions. There are dramatic differences in BIM expertise among AEC disciplines, which in turn leads to heterogeneous, fragmented, and non-collaborative BIM practices. Although BIM users account for more than half of respondents, they are mainly occasional users that only take advantage of the most basic capabilities of the technology. The study also shows strengths and potential opportunities for improvement. In the end, this study reveals the unique conditions of the technology adoption process in Chile, and consequently, contributes to identifying specific strengths, problems, and areas of action that should be addressed by any public or private BIM promotion plans.Key words: Building Information Modeling, technology diffusion, Chilean AECO industry. ResumenEn los últimos años, ha surgido un creciente interés público y privado en Chile en la implementación de planes que promuevan el uso de Building Information Modeling. Sin embargo, la falta de estudios locales dificulta la creación de políticas adecuadas a las condiciones particulares del país. En respuesta a este problema, presentamos un análisis exhaustivo de la evolución de la adopción a macro-escala de BIM en Chile durante el período 2013-2016, realizado sobre la base de dos encuestas nacionales aplicadas a profesionales de arquitectura, ingeniería y construcción (AEC). A primera vista, los resultados globales coinciden con otros países con un nivel de desarrollo similar; pero un análisis más detallado evidencia condiciones locales distintivas. Existen diferencias dramáticas en el conocimiento sobre BIM entre las distintas disciplinas AEC, lo que a su vez conduce a prácticas BIM heterogéneas, fragmentadas y no colaborativas. Aunque los usuarios de BIM representan más de la mitad de los encuestados, se trata principalmente usuarios ocasionales que solo aprovechan las capacidades más básicas de la tecnología. El estudio también muestra fortalezas y posibles oportunidades de mejora. Al final, este estudio revela las condiciones únicas del proceso de adopción de tecnología en Chile y, en consecuencia, contribuye a identificar fortalezas, problemas y áreas de acción específicos que deben ser abordados por cualquier plan de promoción BIM público o privado.
