“…Although these adoption rates might have changed since the year of assessment, many developing countries are still struggling to overcome the barriers associated with the adoption of BIM. Some notable barriers to BIM adoption have also been established in literature [4,7,11,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Perceived barriers to BIM adoption include (but are not limited to) the high initial cost, a lack of awareness, inadequate training, resistance to change in the current construction industry culture, insufficient governmental support, legal issues, a lack of interest and demand from clients and contractors, a lack of support from top management, doubts about ROI, a lack of BIM experts, data ownership issues, a lack of sub-contractors interested in using BIM, the absence of the contractual requirement for BIM implementation, the perceived complexity of the BIM model, interoperability between software programs, and a lack of standardized tools and protocols, amongst others.…”

Building information modelling (BIM) has become a common denominator for information management, efficiency, collaboration, and productivity in the construction industry. The adoption of building information modelling has been assessed to be unequal in the construction industry the world over. It has been observed that developing countries are struggling with BIM adoption and are at a beginner stage in the process. Meanwhile, there have been different research efforts focused on advancing BIM diffusion in developing countries. This study focused on reviewing the research trend and knowledge domains of BIM research in developing countries. The study analysed scholarly publications from selected developing countries sourced from the Scopus database from 2005 to 2019; the study covered BIM research efforts since their commencement in developing countries. The study identified the different research trends and the current focus through visualisations using VOS viewer software. The most influential and productive researchers were also identified. This research contributes to the extant body of knowledge by synthesizing the state of the art of BIM research in developing countries. Furthermore, it provides the pre-COVID-19 BIM diffusion status in developing countries.

“…BIM is not only a technological facility but also a concept practice bound with advanced technology to produce effective project delivery (Criminale and Langar, 2017). It uses information and communications technologies to improve progress monitoring, improve efficiency and enhance productivity and quality (Hamid et al , 2018). Although BIM technologies have been practiced in many countries since the early 1980s, there remain countries that have till date not considered or appreciated the important benefits of implying BIM in project delivery and execution, and the interference of socio-technical issues that undermine the application of BIM adds to the existing issues (Diaz, 2016; Ku and Taiebat, 2011).…”

“…In Malaysia, the most critical challenges of using BIM include the high cost of technology, lack of knowledge on BIM and unavailability of BIM training (CIDB, 2016). However, Hamid et al (2018) found the most critical barriers of adopting BIM in Malaysia’s interior design industry include financial barriers, lack of BIM knowledge and lack of awareness. Similarly, in the Indian construction industry, Meganathan and Nandhini (2018) found that the high cost of software, low demand from clients, inadequate project experiences, management process change difficulties, inadequate top-management commitment, unclear legal liabilities and lack of skilled and trained employees are the main challenges of accepting BIM.…”

“…There are many benefits and potential advantages of adopting the BIM concept. The following are few of the benefits: Effective process : BIM integrates all the relevant parties; therefore, project information is easily accessed and shared which will expedite the process (Hamid et al , 2018). Effective communication : Communication is easily performed among construction parties (Succar, 2009).…”

“… Effective communication : Communication is easily performed among construction parties (Succar, 2009). Effective progress monitoring : BIM helps project managers assess the progress on site by having visual monitoring between what has been executed on site and what is remaining to be completed (Hamid et al , 2018). Better project performance and quality : Safety, cost- and time-efficiency are major performance indicators, and BIM helps improve these indicators for the success of projects (Succar, 2009).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the awareness of construction practitioners of the adoption of building information modeling (BIM) and identification of the dominant challenges of implementing BIM in the life cycle of a construction project. Design/methodology/approach This study was sequentially conducted in the following in three main phases: a preliminary study of archival literature, where a rigorous study of the literature was conducted to identify the challenges of adopting BIM in the construction industry which was to be applied later to the challenges in the case of the Yemen construction industry; data collection, where data were collected using a questionnaire survey targeting 123 Yemeni construction practitioners working in managerial and technical levels; and data analysis, where data were analyzed using descriptive analysis by calculating the average index and standard deviations. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software. Findings The results show that the most critical challenges to adopt BIM are financial restrictions, lack of BIM knowledge, improper introduction of BIM concepts, lack of awareness of BIM benefits and no governmental enforcement. The study recommends policymakers and construction players to consider the challenges for a better introduction of BIM in the Yemen construction industry. Research limitations/implications This research focuses on the awareness and challenges of implementing BIM in the Yemen construction industry. Practical implications The findings of this study will help policymakers develop more constructive strategies to reduce the challenges and introduce governmental agendas towards the widespread use of the BIM concept and technology in the Yemen construction industry. The study suggested an in-depth investigation into the current curriculum in the Yemen universities and recommended the introduction of BIM concept in engineering courses. Social implications This study focused on the challenges of implementing BIM and the role of the social aspect in the issue. Originality/value From the extensive review of previous findings, this paper concentrates on the challenged to the implementation of BIM in the Yemen construction industry. There are lack of investigative studies that focus on the introduction of new technologies to advance the Yemen construction sector. Therefore, the findings help the authority to diagnose and address the sources of these challenges and introduce new solutions to the industry.
