Analyzing the Driving Factors of BIM Adoption Based on the Perception of the Practitioners in Indian Construction Projects

Building information modeling (BIM) has significant benefits and can act as a solution for dominant construction problems. The percentage of BIM adoption varies by country, and some organizations have made BIM mandatory in their projects. Many researchers had performed their study on acceptance, adoption, and implementation of BIM in their nations. In Indian construction projects, the adoption and implementation of BIM are a long way less while in comparison to other international locations. To improve the adoption and implementation of BIM, it is essential to analyze the realistic advantages and obstacles experienced by the practitioners. Valuating their persuasion and difficulties will provide a solution to overcome the problem. Therefore, this study has adopted the research method in which theoretical literature review is part one, followed by the field study and data collection. To investigate this technological acceptance by the practitioners, the Technology Acceptance Model has been adopted. From the literature review, administration support, technological capability, and people competency are found to be the most essential factors in BIM adoption. Therefore, a questionnaire was created and distributed to practitioners utilizing BIM in their work. From the survey results, the descriptive analysis, RII, and ANOVA tests are performed to realize the important factors experienced by the respondents. As a result, administration support and people competency are preferred as substantial factors in promoting BIM adoption. The findings of this study are expected to offer a better understanding and contribution to the practical strategies in the activation of BIM adoption.
