What's the Buzz About BIM's Role in Indian AEC Landscape?
The use of BIM has boosted productivity in the Indian infrastructure sector by at least 25-30%.?
Worldwide, thousands of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) firms in both public and private sectors have incorporated Building Information Modelling (BIM) into their lifecycle. However, in India, where technology use in infrastructure projects is still at a nascent stage, the adoption of BIM across infrastructure lifecycle, has already added a significant value to the US$ 1.4 trillion infrastructure spending proposed by the Government of India. Dynamics of the AEC industry are changing in India with the implementation of BIM as it improves efficiency, productivity and sustainability from the early design phase throughout the lifecycle of infrastructure projects.
A new paradigm shift is observed within the Indian AEC ecosystem – one that encourages integration of the roles of all stakeholders for any integration project. Implementation of BIM across AEC projects brings significant impacts for different stakeholders associated with the projects. BIM solves some of the key issues associated in each phase of the project lifecycle in an efficient way.
For the coming years post 2024, the Government of India has extremely proactive plans regarding the National Infra-structure Pipeline (NIP), a first-of-its-kind government exercise to provide world- class infrastructures to citizens and improve their quality of life. Under NIP, the Indian government has allocated a budget of USD 1.4 trillion on infrastructure wherein each Ministry/ State/ Implementing Agency is expected to add new projects and update their respective project details so that NIP remains a living repository with widespread access.
The examination of BIM ROI assessment for Indian construction and infrastructure projects suggests that Indian firms are actively looking at deploying BIM across varied infrastructure projects. Architects, engineers and contractors of the Indian AEC ecosystem are quantitatively and qualitatively assessing the impact of BIM. Below-mentioned are some benefits of BIM-usage for the Engineering and Construction Workflow*

These statistics show that in coming years, the BIM adoption rates are anticipated to rise to another extent. With the growing population, the pressure to adopt coherent processes is intensifying to meet the infrastructural demands. With the soaring exigency of using BIM and investing in tech-first practices, one thing is for sure.?
Disruption, and then the ultimate transformation. So, rewind, re-evaluate and rethink. Hop on the trend that is going to disrupt the industry for the better.
