“…Despite the considerable advantages offered by BIM technology, the implementation of this technology in the construction business can be seen to clash with a number of obstacles. The relevant literature contains articles whose authors point to barriers to the implementation of BIM in various countries in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere in the world [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46].…”

In 2014, the European Union Directive 2014/24/EU was issued, which has provisions including information about the use of electronic technology for modelling buildings, referred to as BIM. According to various sources in the literature, with the help of BIM technology building designs can be prepared more quickly, while avoiding errors; it is also possible to generate and control any amendments in a building blueprint, promptly estimate costs of the building works planned, and implement a variety of activities connected with the maintenance of a new building once it is erected. In some EU states, initiatives have been launched leading to the introduction of BIM technology in public procurement, and the technology itself is now gaining popularity. However, the adaptation of this new technology is not always met with enthusiasm, and its implementation is hindered by many obstacles. The aim of this article is to conduct a broader analysis of the possibilities of BIM development in the construction industry based on data obtained from companies operating in the construction industry. The research used analysis of source materials, surveys, and targeted interviews. The study has demonstrated several barriers, of which the most important ones proved to be of financial nature, formal and legal considerations, and mentality, namely the unwillingness to learn, adopt novel solutions, and switch to a new way of working. The research was supported by a SWOT analysis.

“…This challenge is also related to the legal issues relating to information retrieval and usage that have hampered the use of digital technologies. This is because, worldwide, legislation on the use of digital technologies is still evolving, and as such, several issues might arise regarding how information is shared and used, especially for collaborative platforms like BIM and blockchain technology [40,52]. Drawing from the general challenges facing the use of VM as well as digital technologies within the construction industry, this study assessed the barriers to the use of digital tools in VM practices using fourteen barriers.…”

In the quest to promote constant value for money, value management (VM) has been proposed and adopted within the construction industry of countries across the world. To improve the VM process for a more effective outcome, pervasive digital technologies can be employed throughout a project and in the VM process. However, developing countries like South Africa are still lagging in using these emerging technologies. Therefore, this study assessed the digital technologies that can improve the VM process and the barriers hindering their usage within the construction industry. The study adopted a postpositivism philosophical stance with a questionnaire used to gather quantitative data from construction professionals that have participated in VM exercises within the South African construction industry. The data gathered were analysed using mean item score, standard deviation, the Kruskal-Wallis H-test, multiple linear regression and exploratory factor analysis. The study found with high predictive accuracy that digital technologies such as computer-based software, BIM, mobile devices, electronic meeting tools, cloud computing, augmented and virtual realities will significantly impact the overall success of VM practices. Furthermore, the barriers to the effective deployment of these technologies in the VM process can be categorised into (1) cost and awareness, (2) complexities of the VM and digital tools, (3) the construction industry’s digital culture, and (4) the availability of technology and expertise. This study provides a theoretical backdrop for future studies exploring the use of digital technologies for VM practices—an aspect that has not gained significant attention in VM discourse in the construction industry.

“…Although the outcomes of the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) digitalization are promising, adopting BIM across the sector has actually shown several limitations [19], with additional cybersecurity threats arising in this emerging digital context. The emergence of new digital technology provides opportunities for digital inventions but the network-based data sharing with BIM and the common data environment makes the industry vulnerable to potential cyber-physical attacks [20].…”
