“…The EUBIM Task Group's vision is to encourage the common use of BIM as "digital construction" in public, not just private, works with a common goal the improvement of public value for money, the quality of public real estate and the viable competitiveness of the industry. Indeed, as McAuley, Hore and West [28] underline, BIM should be firstly used in the public sector in order to promote its use in the private sector, later, through publishing specific guidelines.…”

The construction sector is of strategic importance for the European Commission. This is the reason why there is a special interest in the development of this sector which is attempting to transform into a more sustainable one in order to face various challenges. In this context, European Directive 2014/24/EU brings to the foreground of the European institutional framework the term building information modelling (BIM), that it is widely used in many countries across Europe. In Greece, the situation seems to be different, not only because it has not been applied in practice but also because of some special features of the way the construction sector functions. This paper presents the BIM use-level in Greece and the way with which it could be better integrated in the construction sector. Through this review we make a brief assessment of the strategy developed in order for the BIM to be integrated in Greek building procedures. Furthermore, we focus on specific issues, like the extended informal housing phenomenon, and on factors that cannot easily be standardized that create problems in BIM use. Finally, through an initial market analysis we underline the role of academic institutions for integrating BIM across Greece.Such a direction seems to be the continuation of the Horizon 2020 Strategy directions that aimed at the creation of healthy, safe, viable and intelligent infrastructure [1].In this context, European Directive 2014/24/EU [7] brings to the foreground of the European institutional framework the term building information modelling (BIM). The term is mentioned in article No. 22 of the Directive where it is noted that in the framework of signing public works contracts and the invitation to tenders for relative studies, the member states must include the use of specialized electronic modelling tools for building construction information or similar means. Even if BIM is widely used in countries like France, United Kingdom and Germany [8], things in Greece are very different. This paper presents the BIM use level in Greece and the way with which it could be better integrated in the construction sector. The aim of the work is to present an overview of the situation and to make a brief assessment on the proposals developed for the better adoption of the tool in Greece, taking into consideration the European experience (Section 3). Previously (Section 2), a literature review is undertaken where the tool is described along with the advantages of its use. The results that arise (Section 4) permit a review regarding the actions taking place and programmed in the immediate future. Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Promoting Sustainable Development: A Brief Literature ReviewBIM became a popular acronym in the last decade [9], although it emerged as a concept in the late 1970s [10], after years of research in order for the components and repercussions of building product models to be investigated [11]. It is a process that uses computer technology [12,13] to stimulate the performance of a building, during the whole...

“…The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) estimates that the total cost of inadequate interoperability is $15.8 billion a year (Nisbet, Dinesen 2010). Although software users want to improve the interoperability (Young et al 2008), and several inter- Table 2 national standards have been developed to address the problems of interoperability, such as STEP and IFCs, there are still a few of shortcomings (Azhar et al 2011;Rezgui et al 2011;McAuley et al 2012). For instance, BIM programs are limited in their static representation of a building and its environment (Rezgui et al 2011).…”

Abstract. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has had a profound effect on the construction industry. It has greatly improved coordination among stakeholders, enhanced productivity, and increased profits. However, many factors still limit the application of BIM in the construction industry. This study conducts a literature review to identify these negative factors. Firstly, twenty-two sub-factors are identified and classified into five categories: Technology, Cost, Management, Personnel, and Legal. Secondly, some suggestions for eliminating these limiting factors are given. Finally, the study also identifies further research directions for improving BIM theory and applying BIM technology widely and successfully. The results of this study will provide support for practitioners who are using or plan to use BIM.

“…the later year,McAuley et al (2012),Rezgui et al (2011) andAzhar et al (2011) discovered that there are still some inadequacies in the use of BIM, despite the increased awareness of BIM technology. According toRezgui et al (2011), the affirmed statistical depiction of the building and its environment are still crucial barriers to BIM technology application.…”

Purpose The utilisation of building information modelling (BIM) technology is rapidly increasing among construction professionals across the world. Notwithstanding, recent studies revealed a low level of BIM implementation in the context of the Nigerian construction sector. Moreover, previous studies have established that BIM application comes with its share of various barriers. Therefore, this study aims to carry out an on-site survey on barriers to the application of BIM on construction sites in the Nigerian construction industry. Design/methodology/approach An extensive review of literature on BIM barriers was conducted, from where 33 factors were identified as significant BIM barriers peculiar to the developing countries. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to the targeted respondents, who are practicing professionals in the Nigerian construction industry, based on the identified barriers. The data collected were analysed by using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings The principal component analysis revealed that 27 barriers were peculiar to the Nigerian construction industry. The “lack of familiarity with BIM capacity, habitual resistance to change from the traditional style of design and build, and poor awareness of BIM benefit” were identified as the three most critical barriers hindering BIM application on construction sites in the Nigerian construction industry. Practical implications This study reveals key information on the peculiar barriers to BIM application in the Nigerian construction industry. The avoidance of these barriers will not only assist various construction stakeholders in the successful implementation of BIM application on a construction project but also promote information management systems and productivity within the construction industry to a great extent. These will further improve post-construction activities. Originality/value This study provides a substantial understanding of BIM state of the art in the context of barriers hindering BIM application on construction sites in the Nigerian construction industry.
