Abstract

Overcoming the hurdles to achieving GreenBIM is critical to achieving its implementation. This is not an isolated case, as the construction industry is known to be slow to attain digital adoption due to various challenges. This study is important for identifying and overcoming the various barriers to achieving sustainability in the construction industry. The study collected randomly through well structured questionnaires. The collected data was analysed, and the study findings reveal, among others, that there is lack of GreenBIM guide, a lack of incentives to adopt GBIM, lack of BIM training, and business changes are some of the barriers to GBIM adoption in developing countries.
