Benefits and Barriers of BIM Adoption in the Iraqi Construction Firms

Abstract

The absence of using the advanced technology in the construction industry lead to conflicts and complexities in the implementation of project tasks in the various phases of construction. Therefore, the need to use the technique of Building Information modeling (BIM) is the essential matter to discover the conflicts that may occur during implementation the construction project. The purpose of this study is to identify the current perception to implement the BIM technique in the Iraqi construction firms. The method of data collection was a quantitative in nature, by designing a questionnaire to find out the perceptions of BIM benefits and barriers. Out of 180 emails, only 72 responses received which represented architects, civil engineers, MEP engineers, Owners, contractors, and consultants. Data analysis has been adopted the relative important index (RII) method, through a calculate the responses frequent by SPSS software, version 22. This study shows benefits and barriers of BIM technique in the Iraqi construction firms. In addition to that, offer solutions to overcome barriers.
