“…In the Netherlands, the Government Buildings Agency has mandated the use of BIM for public projects in 2011 [ 2 ]. Research conducted in Germany, France, Brazil and Austria showed that BIM is gaining wide adoption in these countries [ 3 ]. In Estonia, a survey was carried out among 297 firms and revealed that 51 per cent of respondents are already using BIM or planning to adopt it over the next 5 years [ 4 ].…”

The journey of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in India has been from skepticism to acceptance to leveraging the higher potentials of BIM. Excelize Software, serving the global Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations industry from their headquarters in Aurangabad, has been a witness to and participant in this transformational journey for nearly last two decades. This paper is aimed at exploring their journey of offering BIM services to a wide variety of projects that were undertaken in the construction industry of India during this period. The construction sector has historically grappled with the challenges of managing productivity with respect to completion of projects on time, management of labor and materials and maintenance of built assets. BIM made its foray into the Indian construction industry towards the end of the first decade in this millennium. Typical of any technology adoption curve, BIM was met with a fair share of skepticism across stakeholders. Yet, awareness about its potential benefits, scope of application in design and management of various aspects of the project and subsequent adoption has grown slowly yet steadily in the past decade. Data published by Invest India ( Source: https://www.investindia.gov.in/sector/construction ) states that the construction Industry in India is expected to reach $1.4 Tn by 2025. Urban population is said to contribute 75% of GDP (63% present), and 68 cities will have a population of more than 1 million; up from 42 today. The construction industry market in India works across 250 sub-sectors with linkages across sectors. Given these projections, India is likely to go through massive urbanization and economic growth. All construction activities that result from this growth will need proper planning, scheduling, design and information management. Meeting these needs will require a strong framework for implementation, a sophisticated level of design communication, project co-ordination and documentation as well as robust technology tools. BIM is well-designed to be the first building block of such a framework that can radically support and enhance the massive needs of the construction sector in India. Through the various projects executed by Excelize and a set of parameters that reveal the BIM adoption metrics for the said period, this paper will navigate the journey of BIM from ‘We are not interested’ to ‘Nice to have tool’ to ‘Must have technology aid’ to ‘Exploring BIM for greater possibilities.’

“…This indicates that there is a relevance for the knowledge of BIM in the organization to lead the construction industry towards implementing BIM. It will also raise awareness among the construction industry on the benefits of implementation in construction projects (Shalaka Hire et al, 2021;Al-Ashmori et al, 2020;Ullah et al, 2019).…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the innovative approaches that has been developed and widely accepted in the construction industry. In Malaysia, BIM usage is still low and not many firms have taken full advantage of its potential despite theinvestment in BIM being proven to be well worth the cost of implementation to organizations. Therefore, this study has been conducted to identify the current status of BIM implementation in Malaysia. This study uses a qualitative approach with an explanatory research design to explore the phenomenon of BIM implementation in the construction industry. This study was aimed to identify the readiness and challenges in BIM implementation from twelve (12) participantsfrom consultants and contractors in Malaysiawho have already implemented and not have implemented BIM where the researcher used purposive sampling technique with snowballing sampling. In obtaining the data from participants, the researcher has conducted a semi-structured interview data collection technique. The data were then analyzedusing thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes among the research questions in two categories of participants. This study finds that the rate of BIM implementation in construction industry is very low and the most factors influence companies’ readiness in BIM implementation from both categories of participants are client, enforcement from authority and lack of project that needs BIM. This study also found that the most challenges faced in BIM implementation areBIM exposure, cost implementation and others. In addition to that, this study proposing effective strategies for enhancing the BIM implementation in Malaysia such as introducing of BIM in university curriculum, BIM enforcement from the authority and others.

“…Ahuja et al [12] studied the factors that affect BIM adoption among the Indian architectural firms. Hire et al [13] reported that the absence of knowledge about the advantages of BIM, hesitance to learn the process and change from conventional techniques, absence of a national driver for BIM adoption, variation in BIM readiness among project teams and purchase of software are the significant barriers in the Indian construction industries with the aspect of site safety applications. Kolaric et al [14] analysed the utilization of BIM in the Croatian construction industry and reported that the high cost of software and hardware, lack of consultant's assistance and inadequate BIM knowledge of civil engineers are barriers for the BIM adoption.…”

The contribution of the construction industry towards the development of the economy of an economy is inevitable. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an emerging information tool that supports interface management in construction projects based on intellectual digital illustration that provides a maximum number of benefits throughout the lifecycle of projects. A country like India has recently adopted the BIM tool, but it is not widely adopted by construction companies. Therefore, comprehensive and systematic analyses are essential for determining the factors influencing BIM adoption. In this study, a proposed model is employed using seven significant factors, namely, Organizational support (OS), Information Quality (IQ), System Quality (SQ), Service Quality (SRQ), usage (U), User Satisfaction (US), and Net Benefits (NB), to analyse the influence of these factors on BIM adoption. An experimental analysis was conducted based on the developed success model and the fitness of the model was estimated. The results of this model suggest that system quality plays a major role in BIM usage. Furthermore, a hypothesis test was performed to analyse the impact range of each independent factor over the dependent factors.
