The Drivers, Barriers, and Enablers of Building Information Modeling (BIM) Innovation in Developing Countries: Insights from Systematic Literature Review and Comparative Analysis

“…Figure 3 portrays the terms associated with BIM innovation in developing countries. Through cluster analysis, we found four states with articles on BIM innovation, i.e., Malaysia (Southeast Asia) [78], China (Asia) [79], Iran (Middle-East) [80], and Nigeria (Africa) [39,40,81]. Additionally, we included two more countries based on a manual assessment of the literature, i.e., Saudi Arabia (Gulf Cooperation Council/GCC) [82] and Croatia (Europe) [83].…”

“…Iran in the Middle East has not implemented BIM massively [80]. However, practitioners and academics realized that BIM benefits economic growth and energy management.…”

“…Along with the lack of BIM implementation in Iran, the innovation barriers are high. Nemati et al [80] conducted a survey and found several factors: AEC players are still not familiar with software and hardware, traditional construction methods are still dominant, there is a lack of attention to BIM, high costs for software acquisition, and inadequate incentives to improve BIM implementation.…”

Applicability of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the Sustainable Design of Commercial and Office Buildings. A Case Study from Tehran, Iran

“…Also, all of the building materials, namely smart objects in the design process can be subject of investigation to depict the disadvantages and barriers related to the construction of the building, and can assist in saving time and financial resources (Garyaeva, 2018;Reizgeviˇcius and Ustinoviˇcius, 2018;Zhao et al, 2017). BIM has been initially developed in the fast-growing building industry in advanced countries and its benefits have been well recognized (Nemati et al, 2020). However, this tool has not been yet fully commercialized all over the world, especially in developing countries.…”

“…However, this tool has not been yet fully commercialized all over the world, especially in developing countries. In this regard, various studies have been carried out to overcome the existing barriers (Nemati et al, 2020;Kaneta et al, 2017). Also, a number of researchers are currently investigating the way of promoting BIM for real applications (Migilinskas et al, 2013;Kaneta et al, 2017), especially for energy consumption simulation purposes (Choi et al, 2019;Kamel and Memari, 2019;Pruvost and Scherer, 2017).…”
