Comprehensive BIM implementation model for developing countries
The model effectively elucidates the underlying factors necessary for the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM), the requisite strategies to attain these factors, and the resultant consequences of employing said strategies. The successful and sustained implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction industry is of utmost significance. The observations derived from these perspectives additionally emphasise the significance of the subsequent dimensions in relation to the triumph and durability of BIM implementation within the construction sector: (1) dedication, (2) drive, (3) cultural influence, (4) educational and instructional practices, (5) aptitude and proficiency, (6) competitive edge, (7) operational efficiency, and (8) overall efficacy.? A multi-faceted methodology for the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) necessitates the inclusion of regulatory frameworks to assess the economic feasibility of construction enterprises, with a particular focus on small and medium-sized firms. This approach also entails considering factors such as the level of awareness and maturity regarding BIM, the extent of demand for BIM from both public and private clients, adherence to BIM standards and collaborative procurement guidelines. The demand for Building Information Modelling (BIM) from both public and private clients, particularly private clients, can be attributed to the BIM value. This value refers to the practicality of implementing BIM on projects in relation to the associated costs. The proposition that the primary beneficiaries of Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation are clients does not inherently imply that clients should shoulder the entire financial burden of BIM adoption. This is due to the additional value that BIM adoption provides in terms of enhancing firms' competitive edge and presenting marketing prospects. Ideally, the development of a BIM cost-benefit sharing framework should be prioritised within the context of BIM implementation strategies. The BIM cost-benefit sharing framework necessitates the establishment of a correlation between the costs and benefits associated with BIM and various factors such as BIM application levels, project types and sizes, and organisational types and sizes. This approach ensures adaptability in meeting the diverse requirements of clients, project intricacies and scale, and the BIM capabilities of firms.
