Profound barriers to building information modelling (BIM) adoption in construction small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

Abstract: Purpose This study aims to evaluate and investigate the dynamics of the barriers to building information modelling (BIM) adoption from the perspective of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries with the Nigerian construction industry as a case study. Design/methodology/approach An interpretive structural modelling approach was adopted to develop a hierarchical model of the interrelationships of the barriers. Also, the Matrice d’Impacts croises-multipication applique a classement ana… Show more

“…Chen et al (2020) argued in their submission that the willingness of construction industry practitioners to incorporate IoT applications was not quite impressive. This assertion is no different from that of Saka and Chan (2020), who reiterated that the problems facing the Nigerian construction industry are further compounded by the disaggregated nature of the industry, together with an increase in the number of stakeholders, a lack of information management and a consistent dependence on traditional methods. Amade et al (2019) and Saka and Chan (2020) further claimed that, as a result of this, there have been calls to shift the tide and leverage the use of modern information and communication technology as it is obtained in developed climates.…”

“…In the race for the deployment and implementation of the fifth generation (5G) and the industry 4.0, a number of emerging disruptive technologies are bringing change and innovation to the various industries. While some countries are seen to have taken the lead in the effective use of these emerging technologies (Jahng and Park, 2020), many developing or less developed countries have yet to leverage them (Saka and Chan, 2020). In Korea, for example, Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. has implemented a safety management system using a safety helmet with an IoT-based sensor (Park et al, 2019).…”

“…Barriers to BIM adoption are investigated for construction projects or the construction industry in general (Kekana, Aigbavboa et al, 2014, Cao, Zhang et al, 2019, as well as for important stages such as design (Chan, 2014), prefabrication (Tan, Chen et al, 2019), construction (Marefat, Toosi et al, 2019), operation and renovation (Elagiry, Marino et al, 2019). Barriers to BIM adoption are also explored for the players in the construction industry, such as designers (Chan, 2014), quantity surveying firms (Wong and Yew, 2017), manufacturers (Mostafa, Kim et al, 2020), contractors (Hamada, Haron et al, 2016), asset management firms (Ashworth, Tucker et al, 2016); for small and medium-sized companies (Hosseini, Namzadi et al, 2016, Saka andChan, 2020) and large firms, for new and existing buildings (Hossain and Yeoh, 2018) etc.…”

“…The use of the integrated interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) techniques by researchers in the area of construction has been gaining ground in recent years. Quite a number of researchers in the field of construction [26,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] have used the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) techniques to examine the hierarchical structure between the impediments to a given system or process. Also, the techniques have been used to transform the impediments into clearly visible, easy to understand and quickly interpretable models, based on direct and indirect relationships among the impediments of a system.…”
