“…However, the extent of BIM adoption in Nigeria is best described as stagnant (Ibrahim and Birshir, 2012). For instance, Hamma-adama et al (2017) stated that the current status of BIM uptake in Nigeria is predominantly by the usage of 2D and 3D. This is affirmed by Olugboyega and Aina (2018) who reported that both 2D and various variants of 3D BIM (such as 3D architectural model, 3D architectural and structural model and 3D architectural and building services model) are mostly used in Nigeria.…”

“…In Nigeria, various studies on BIM have focused on awareness of BIM, adoption, benefits and challenges, both from the industry and academic perspectives (Ibironke et al , 2011; Abubakar et al , 2014; Ugochukwu et al , 2015; Hamma-adama et al , 2017; Onungwa et al , 2017; Babatunde et al , 2018; Babatunde and Ekundayo, 2019). A few of these studies have examined the barriers to BIM implementation (Abubakar et al , 2014; Babatunde and Ekundayo, 2019).…”

Purpose Building information modeling (BIM) is vital in the performance improvement of contracting firms. Thus, there is a need to stimulate its implementation in the construction sector with a view to meeting the competitive demands of the industry. However, there have been very few studies on BIM implementation among contracting firms in Nigeria. Hence, this study aims to examine the current BIM uptake among Nigerian contracting firms, assess the barriers to BIM implementation and examine the ways of improving BIM implementation within these contracting firms. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire survey was conducted on contracting firms (comprising small-, medium- and large-sized firms) in Lagos, Nigeria. The obtained data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. These included percentage, mean score, standard deviation, the Kruskal–Wallis test and factor analysis. Findings This study revealed the current state of BIM implementation among contracting firms in Nigeria in terms of their knowledge of BIM, their usage of BIM as well as the BIM software adopted. Furthermore, the study identified 25 barriers to BIM implementation in contracting firms and identified 15 ways to improve BIM implementation in contracting firms. The relative importance of both the identified barriers and the ways for improving BIM implementation was gauged among contracting firms comprising small-, medium- and large-sized firms. The result of the Kruskal–Wallis test revealed that, except for two (out of 25) identified barriers, and one (out of 15) identified ways of improving BIM implementation in contracting firms, there is no significant statistical difference in the perceptions of the three respondents’ groups. The result of the factor analysis categorized the identified 25 barriers into seven main factors. Practical implications This study provides empirical evidence on the barriers to BIM implementation and the ways of improving its implementation among contracting firms, thereby providing a better insight of the Nigerian construction industry’s BIM environment. Originality/value This study’s findings can positively inform the decisions of construction stakeholders to formulate strategies capable of improving BIM implementation in the construction industry at large.

“…Existing studies on BIM in Nigeria (Alufohai, 2012; Abubakar et al , 2014; Ryal-Net and Kaduma, 2015; Ugochukwu et al , 2015; Akerele and Etiene, 2016; Hamma-adama et al , 2017; Onungwa et al , 2017; Babatunde et al , 2018) have focussed on BIM awareness, adoption, implementation and challenges both from the industry and academia perspectives. Few of these studies that examined the drivers to BIM adoption (Babatunde et al , 2018) paid attention to the drivers to BIM incorporation into quantity surveying profession from academia and students’ perspectives; hence, the study (Babatunde et al , 2018) failed to examine the phenomenon from the industry stakeholders’ perspective.…”

However, BIM adoptions have not been 11 generally embraced by many Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms, 12 particularly in developing countries; and studies that investigate the important drivers to BIM 13 adoptions among construction professionals through quantitative approach are limited. The 14 study purpose is to address the aforementioned gap. 15 16 Design/methodology/approach -The study used a literature review, a pilot study and a 18 questionnaire survey. The primary data were carried out using structured questionnaire 19 distributed to the four different, selected BIM adopters' AEC firms. These comprised 20 architectural firms, facility management firms, quantity surveying firms and structural 21 engineering firms in Lagos, Nigeria. Data obtained were analyzed using mean score, standard 22 deviation, Kruskal-Wallis test, and factor analysis.23 24 Findings -The study identified 23 drivers to BIM adoption and the relative importance of 25 the identified drivers was gauged from each selected BIM adopters' AEC firm category. The 27 result of the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there is no statistically significant difference in 28 the perceptions of the four selected AEC firms in the mean ranking of the identified 23 29 drivers to BIM adoption. The findings from factor analysis categorized the identified drivers 30 into two major factors to include: cost and time savings, a...

“…Structured questionnaire was used as tool for data collection [6] hosted online using google forms. In addition, snowball method was adopted in targeting the survey respondents due to low level of BIM awareness and maturity in the country [12]. A few number of BIM experts volunteered to participate in the survey and subsequently more participants were recorded through them (initial respondents) -snowball.…”

Construction Industry in Nigeria has since required a disruptive technology to change its construction business and improve its capabilities and productivity. As an ongoing research (PhD work) to developing a strategy for an effective Building Information Modelling (BIM) adoption in Nigeria, a macro-BIM adoption study was carried out to establish BIM maturity within the Nigerian construction market. Online questionnaire was used as tool for data collection from the professional stakeholders in the industry. In the process to formulate a National BIM Roadmap, five conceptual macro-BIM maturity models were utilized. The models' findings act as a guide in developing a national BIM adoption policy. The five applied models helped classify the macro maturity components and the key policies' deliverables that must be addressed within both the initiation and consultation phases of proposing the Nigerian BIM roadmap. The results established positive progress in awareness and adoption level compared to the 2017 survey. Recommendations are made based on the study findings as to advance into policy development.
