Abstract:
Building Information Modelling “BIM” is becoming a better known established collaboration process in
the construction industry. Owners are increasingly requiring BIM services from construction managers all over the
world, but the adoption of BIM in building construction industry of Pakistan is very slow. Globally one of the great
advantages of BIM is the ability to create an accurate model that is useful throughout the entire life of the building,
from initial design through occupancy and operations. The benefits of BIM are evident in its capability.
There are two objective of this research work, first to identify the problems faced in construction management and
secondly to identify the barriers in adoption and implementation of BIM in local building construction industry.
The research objectives were achieved through literature review, case studies, and questionnaire. First, the research
identified the uses of Building Information Modelling for construction industry, and then identified the problems
faced by construction managers in construction management. On the basis of literature review a questionnaire was
prepared and surveyed to identify the source of construction management problems in the building construction
industry of Pakistan. Then, the project examined the uses and benefits of BIM in the construction of a research
facility by minimizing the sources of many identified problems in questionnaire survey. Finally, the project
concluded and recommended the ways to increase the use of BIM in building construction industry of Pakistan.
