The 'digitalization and collaboration' or Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction industry has been gaining momentum in the recent academic engagements. Despite its existence in many industries (i.e. publishing, retailing, financial and travel services) for over a decade, the construction industry is yet to catch up with them. This is due to several challenges whose existence are more dynamic and perhaps generic than static to various countries. The challenges are mostly defined, but their impacts are frequently varied with boundaries; and the same applied to drivers toward a successful BIM adoption. This study aims to establish barriers and drivers to adopting BIM across Nigerian construction industry professions for synchronization and collective engagements. Primary data was fetched from professional stakeholders (Architects, Engineers, Builders, Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers and Planners) using online structured questionnaire. A total of 68 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study reveals a significant improvement in awareness level with much better adoption rate; however, the utilization level remain very limited due to lack of clarity, knowledge and guide. Lack of expertise within organizations and within project team as well as lack of standardization and protocols (in descending order) were found as significant barriers to BIM adoption. On the other hand, availability of trained professionals to handle BIM tools, proof of cost savings by its adoption and the BIM software affordability (in descending order) were found as the significant drivers to achieving a quick and effective BIM adoption. Recommendations were made based on the study findings.

“…There are countries already mandating BIM for certain types of public construction projects, including Finland, Sweden, the UK, France, Italy, and Russia (McAuley et al, 2017). Others, such as Germany and Spain, are actively implementing BIM programs with the aim of enacting future mandates (Popov, et al 2021, Garcia, et al 2021.…”

The procurement for construction works has been limited in recognizing and integrating the influence of digitalization, particularly through Building Information Modeling (BIM), and thereby capitalizing on its benefits. Hence, a comprehensive and practical framework, coupled with proper documentation, is vital for enhancing not only the effectiveness of BIM-based procurement processes but also ensuring a successful BIM implementation. Despite its significance, the literature remains scarce, particularly in addressing the integration of BIM-specific provisions with conventional construction procurement methods, within the constraints of public procurement. This research introduces a systematic approach for integrating BIM requirements into traditional tendering processes for construction works, applicable to both the public and private sectors, serving as a reference guide for contracting authorities. For this purpose, the following methodology was adopted: 1) conducting an extensive literature review; 2) carrying out interviews with construction experts to identify relevant procurement requirements within a BIM-specific environment; 3) developing a comprehensive BIM-integrated tendering framework, combined with the traditional processes and cross-referenced with recognized BIM standards and public procurement regulations, especially the ISO 19650 standards and the European Directive 2014/24/EU; 4) creating a model BIM specifications document (corresponding to the exchange information requirements), to be used by the contracting authority, according to the previously defined framework; 5) discussing the application and limitations of the proposed BIM-based procurement methodology, along with considerations for future research. In conclusion, to address current limitations, including the absence of BIM-specific procurement guidelines in related standards and regulations, this paper outlines a comprehensive solution for this problem, considering the traditional procurement workflow and documentation, namely the tender and specifications documents, with a particular emphasis on the latter, which includes the exchange information requirements (EIR) and shapes the competitive dynamics of the tendering process. While information from traditional 2D drawings usually takes precedence over that from BIM models, the author believes that a fully contractual BIM implementation and success depend on the opposite scenario.

“…Subsequently, ACIF-APPC BIM framework was released in 2014 [13] and the New South Wales' Health mandates BIM deliverables on all projects in excess of $30 million [32]. This action significantly raised the BIM adoption level in Australia although there still no BIM mandate at central government level.…”

“…This action significantly raised the BIM adoption level in Australia although there still no BIM mandate at central government level. Thus, the New South Wales' Health BIM mandate inscribed Australia as a country with a "restricted mandate" [32]. Succinctly, Australian government did not mandated BIM on public projects [33, pp.3] as such the government and non-profit organisations help in providing a levelled ground (guide) but did not imposed BIM on public projects.…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) adoption is generally assessed through one of these two main approaches: Statistical evaluation of survey from stakeholders operating within a country or market and the use of macro BIM-adoption models and metrics. The recent paper “macro-BIM adoption: Comparative market analysis” sets a pace to continues development of comparative market studies. However, precedent is important for continues learning and adoption to contextualise this evolving field. This study aimed to set a unique precedent through comparative analysis of BIM adoption trends in the USA, UK and Australia to set a pace for beginners or early BIM adopting countries to learn from. This study is literature based analysed using content analysis. The study reveals the following: ✓ For a vibrant and even BIM adoption, government is involved; ✓ Government mandate facilitates wide BIM adoption and integrates a country’s industry to the world; ✓ The mandate also facilitates BIM research and training that lead to rise in country’s income through providing trainings and work force export; ✓ Diffusion dynamic varies at different times, depending on country’s flexibility to adoption of innovation; ✓ The dynamic also changes as the industry’s culture/regulation changes. Recommendations are made based on the study findings especially to the new adopter countries planning to develop a strategy for macro-BIM adoption.
