“…The path coefficient from BIM adoption to performance is positive and significant (β =0.459; p<0.0001). The extant literature on this issue also has reported similar findings (Azhar et al, 2012;Barlish & Sullivan, 2012;Coates et al, 2010;Eastman et al, 2011). A recent study conducted in China used 'perceived usefulness' as a latent variable for BIM adoption and showed a strong linkage between this and BIM adoption (Xu et al, 2014).…”

“…While the importance and benefits of BIM adoption have been documented (Barlish & Sullivan, 2012), the extant literature has tended to provide limited importance to the study of inhibitors and facilitators of BIM adoption in the architectural fraternity from regions where adoption remains low. Miettinen and Paavola (2014) state that BIM needs to be analysed as a multidimensional, historically evolving and a complex phenomenon.…”

“…In an effort to counter the static culture within the construction industry, the UK Government mandated that from April 2016, all centrally funded public sector work will be procured using BIM technologies, to help facilitate the step-wise transition of the construction industry towards greater efficiencies (Barlish & Sullivan, 2012), through improvements in cost, time, value and environmental performance. The UK has quickly become a global leader in the employment of BIM in the construction industry.…”

“…In fact, the multidisciplinary use of the technology not only brings private benefits to its direct users and their projects, but also has positive externalities across the whole industry. The widespread adoption of BIM, they have argued, contributes to improving overall levels of productivity, competitiveness, sustainability, and safety in the AECO sector (Eastman, Teicholz, Sacks & Liston, 2011;Azhar, 2011;Gu, Singh & London, 2014;Barlish & Sullivan, 2012;Bryde, Broquetas & Vasquez, 2013;Bonilla & Garcia, 2017).…”

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.
