Abstract

Building information modelling (BIM) adoption in the construction industry has become a fundamental ingredient for best practices globally. The benefits have been established In many BIM leading countries. However, due to many challenges, most developing countries are still struggling to achieve industry-wide diffusion. On this premise, this study assessed the profound constraints to the adoption of BIM in the South African construction industry. The study identified the key constraints to BIM adoption in the South African construction industry through a quantitative research approach. It also identified the critical stakeholders that must drive widespread BIM adoption in the South African construction industry. The data was collected from construction industry professionals using a well-structured questionnaire. The key constraints to BIM implementation in the South African construction industry were identified based on the data collected and analysed. The study also identified the key stakeholders for BIM implementation in the South African context. Among other recommendations, the study recommends that the government provide a conducive business environment to enable the implementation by stakeholders.
