N2 - Managing construction projects stakeholders in Ghana is a major challenge due to the rapid information and communication technology innovations, the diverse stakeholders' involved, and projects unique nature. Project managers therefore require effective building information management (BIM) systems. This study reviews the current project information management systems at selected polytechnics in Ghana, addresses findings related to the system weaknesses, project multi-disciplinary stakeholders, location challenges, and proposes a building information management system for enhanced project delivery. A qualitative research method using case study approach of selected polytechnics was adopted. Literature and the existing systems were reviewed. A conceptual building information management (BIM) system was designed, validated using interview survey of six (6) key project managers and descriptive analysis technique. A schema-based integration system using electronic data management and integrated software for enhanced project information management is proposed. This system developed enhances project delivery, stakeholder communication, and contributes to the body of knowledge.
