![]() These include improved design consistency, better coordination, cost savings, higher quality work, greater productivity and increased speed of delivery. The benefits experienced as a result of using BIM are also discussed. These were found to be primarily a lack of BIM expertise, lack of awareness and resistance to change. ![]() The main barriers impeding the implementation of BIM widely across the Australian AEC industry are also identified. Also, of those who have been involved with BIM, there has been very little interdisciplinary collaboration. The responses suggest that less than 25 percent of the sample had been involved in BIM – rather less than might be expected from reading the literature. These objectives are met by a review of the related literature in the first instance, followed by the presentation of the results of a 2007 postal questionnaire survey and telephone interviews of a random sample of professionals in the Australian AEC industry. More specifically, the objectives of this chapter are to investigate the adoption of BIM in the Australian AEC industry and factors that contribute towards the uptake (or non uptake) of BIM. This chapter reviews the development of BIM, the extent to which BIM has been implemented in Australia, and the factors which have affected the up-take of BIM. BIM has the potential to revolutionize the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry in terms of the positive impact it may have on information flows, working relationships between project participants from different disciplines and the resulting benefits it may achieve through improvements to conventional methods. ![]() Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a modern approach to the design, documentation, delivery, and life cycle management of buildings through the use of project information databases coupled with object-based parametric modeling. ![]()
