Building Information Modelling (BIM) plays a major role in enhancing the building project process. However, BIM implementation in building projects has not been categorized, and no previous investigation of its value in the different building project types has been undertaken. This research intended to evaluate BIM implementation in building projects and to identify its values, challenges, and enablers. Experts from BIM consultancy organizations were the respondents in this study. Based on nine interviews and 26 responses to a structured questionnaire, a quantitative approach to the content validity method was adopted. The results reveal that BIM implementation in mid- and low-rise buildings is very low. Only top organizations are able to implement BIM in their projects. Experts suggested that local organizations are not able to implement BIM due to their inability to adopt the BIM system as a digital management process throughout the project life cycle. In addition, there was consensus agreement based on the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) that BIM adds significant value to building projects, which includes providing collaborative organizations, greater communication, increased client satisfaction, more cost-savings, increased productivity, and a new way of reasoning for projects. This research also identified 20 challenges and 45 enablers of BIM implementation in mid- and low-rise building construction by the local firms. From the result, it was found that the presented variables were reliable, as reported in the interview transcripts and based on the majority of experts’ opinions. This research provides an important list of challenges and success factors that need to be considered to overcome the critical issue of low BIM implementation in building projects.

“…In the first progress report of the BMVI's implementation plan, the focus is clearly on the use of BIM as an instrument for planning, progress control and information provision [2]. BIM is increasingly arousing interest around the globe and even becoming mandatory in different countries such as United Kingdom and Singapore [3]. However, the construction sector is still the least digitalised and digital models and twins are most prevalent in industry and asset management, significantly less in infrastructure and smart cities [4].…”

Digitisation in the construction industry continues to advance and, together with the increasing dissemination and further development of hardware and software, is steadily opening up further opportunities for innovative ways of working. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is currently becoming the standard for new construction but has not yet been optimised for use in existing buildings. Therefore, the Institute of Building Materials Research (ibac) is researching new methods and possibilities for BIM-based building preservation. In this paper, the automated creation and analysis of point clouds as well as the implementation of further information from in situ diagnosis and monitoring systems in BIM-Models are presented. On a practical example, the different steps of a subsequent digitisation of an existing building are demonstrated considering new possibilities as autonomous robots and the intelligent utilisation of sensors and diagnostics tools. The goal is a decision support tool, which is independent from proprietary software, adaptive to different types of buildings and open for various interfaces. Current results show that quantifying point clouds and making BIM-models usable beyond the planning and execution phase for new buildings are essential steps for the digitisation of building maintenance. The proposed digital workflow holds great potential for effective building diagnoses and efficient service life management.

Besides planning of new buildings, BIM is used for fire safety [5], life cycle assessment [6] and even monitoring systems with IoT-sensors [7,8] or for the maturity assessment of fresh concrete [9].…”

Digitalization in the construction industry continues to advance and, together with the increasing dissemination and further development of hardware and software, is steadily opening up further opportunities for innovative ways of working. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is currently becoming the standard for new construction, but has not yet been optimized for use in existing buildings. Therefore, the Institute of Building Materials Research at RWTH Aachen University (ibac) is researching new methods and possibilities for BIM-based building preservation. In this paper, the vision of digitalized building preservation, the state of research so far and the planned further steps are presented. It highlights what information needs to be available in the BIM model for digitalized maintenance planning, and shows how this data can be implemented in a way that is machine-readable and suitable for automated evaluation. The goal is the digital availability and linking of all inspection results, so that various operations such as lifetime prognoses or calculation of concrete removal can be performed in the BIM model. The findings to date show that making BIM models usable beyond the planning and execution phase is an essential step for the digitalization of building maintenance and holds great potential for effective building diagnoses and efficient service life management.
