| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the problems and solutions to adopting BIM by construction experts in Nigeria. The objectives included identification of the challenges to BIM adoption and determination of important solutions. The Survey Method was used with purposive sampling to select 100 construction project experts in Lagos metropolis. The results show that the topmost challenges to BIM adoption are non-enforcement of BIM applications by private clients; lack of professional bodies’ support; and absence of laws and policies. The most important solutions are standardisation by regulatory agencies and professional bodies’ active participation. It was concluded that there are 12 key challenges and 15 important solutions to BIM adoption in Nigeria. The implication is that BIM adoption can be enhanced if professionals are cautious of these challenges. The study recommends that measures should be put in place to mitigate the challenges through adherence to the various solutions proffered in this study. This can be achieved by enlightening clients on the importance and benefits of BIM applications in projects so as to gain their confidence and support. The limitation was inaccessibleness of information on various stages of BIM, which is proposed as a focus for future studies. | |
