“…This includes the cost of down time within the organization in order to change the current design workflow. It also includes the cost of continually educating and training employees in terms of the implementation of BIM standards and specifications, keeping in mind that there will be a learning curve involved for even the most proficient BIM user [15].This further will have effect on the team formation and its related organizational structure. Empowering the people with the appropriate skills and competencies become another major challenges that the construction organizations face during the implementation of the BIM.…”

“…The uncertainty on the accuracy of BIM model data may necessitates contractual clause modifications, creation and deletion of processes, roles and responsibilities among the participants [15]. Technology related barriers are otherwise tools barriers include the vague specifications about the level of details during various design stages and the amount of data, its standard format, interoperability etc., this may be nonspecific, indefinite and impractical in some projects.…”

“…Around the world there are many BIM adoption and implementation strategies introduced mainly through a TOP down (Client) approach throughout the building lifecycle [15][19] [20]. Among which the important and successful ones are from the US, Nordic Singapore and more recently the UK.…”

“…There is another approach through which the BIM is implemented in most of the pre mature adopters of BIM such as the developing nations, which is proceed with the implementation without any national or reginal standards and guidelines. Many literature have reported the pros and cons of the two approaches [15] [20]. However, the top down Government involvement basically helps to facilitate a coordinated rather than fragmented approach to the adoption and implementation of BIM [19].…”

Abstract. Many modern complex building projects in the public and private sectors are characterized by its poor information management which is manifested by time and cost overruns around the world. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is currently being adopted around the world with various countries mandated its implementation. In specific, the implementation of BIM is rapidly growing in developed countries such as USA, UK, Singapore and Australia, with government mandate through devising strategies and initiatives to increase the adoption. The implementation of BIM in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other developing countries lags behind due to the existence of numerous implementation barriers. This study explores the current status of BIM implementation in the UAE municipalities, further explores the people, process and technology readiness towards BIM adoption in the UAE building projects. Further the study also explores the current challenges against the BIM adoption. The study adopts a positivists approach by collecting data through questionnaires, a sample of sixty participants across the UAE municipalities from different states were selected randomly to acquire the data. The collected data is statistically analyzed to obtain the findings. The analysis results showed that there are inadequate people and process related readiness towards BIM adoption whereas the technology readiness does exist. The same also was reflected in further analysis on BIM adoption barriers as the challenges.

In recent years, there has been growing public and private interest in Chile in implementing plans promoting the use of Building Information Modeling. However, the lack of local studies hinders the creation of policies suited to the particular conditions of the country. In response, we present a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the macro-scale adoption of BIM in Chile during the 2013-2016 period, based on two national surveys conducted among architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals. At first glance, the overall results coincide with other countries with similar development level, but a more detailed analysis evidences unique local conditions. There are dramatic differences in BIM expertise among AEC disciplines, which in turn leads to heterogeneous, fragmented, and non-collaborative BIM practices. Although BIM users account for more than half of respondents, they are mainly occasional users that only take advantage of the most basic capabilities of the technology. The study also shows strengths and potential opportunities for improvement. In the end, this study reveals the unique conditions of the technology adoption process in Chile, and consequently, contributes to identifying specific strengths, problems, and areas of action that should be addressed by any public or private BIM promotion plans.Key words: Building Information Modeling, technology diffusion, Chilean AECO industry. ResumenEn los últimos años, ha surgido un creciente interés público y privado en Chile en la implementación de planes que promuevan el uso de Building Information Modeling. Sin embargo, la falta de estudios locales dificulta la creación de políticas adecuadas a las condiciones particulares del país. En respuesta a este problema, presentamos un análisis exhaustivo de la evolución de la adopción a macro-escala de BIM en Chile durante el período 2013-2016, realizado sobre la base de dos encuestas nacionales aplicadas a profesionales de arquitectura, ingeniería y construcción (AEC). A primera vista, los resultados globales coinciden con otros países con un nivel de desarrollo similar; pero un análisis más detallado evidencia condiciones locales distintivas. Existen diferencias dramáticas en el conocimiento sobre BIM entre las distintas disciplinas AEC, lo que a su vez conduce a prácticas BIM heterogéneas, fragmentadas y no colaborativas. Aunque los usuarios de BIM representan más de la mitad de los encuestados, se trata principalmente usuarios ocasionales que solo aprovechan las capacidades más básicas de la tecnología. El estudio también muestra fortalezas y posibles oportunidades de mejora. Al final, este estudio revela las condiciones únicas del proceso de adopción de tecnología en Chile y, en consecuencia, contribuye a identificar fortalezas, problemas y áreas de acción específicos que deben ser abordados por cualquier plan de promoción BIM público o privado.

In recent years, the BIM method has been increasingly used in pilot projects for the planning and realization of road construction projects. Due to the strong political demand to expand the applications fields of BIM, there is also an increasing demand for a common data environment (CDE), as the central component of a successful and consistent BIM application [1]. In this context, uniform requirements, which currently exist only to a limited extent, are necessary to implement and successfully use a CDE in road construction. Based on a qualitative research approach questioning employees of state road administrations and a market analysis conducted through a qualitative study with CDE suppliers, a specification book for further CDE usage in road construction is being provided. In this context, functional and non‐functional requirements must be complied in order to implement and use a CDE in road construction successfully. Future research needs to take an in‐depth look at the operational phase and the challenges that arise when most state road administrations implement a CDE area‐wide.
