Quality and Maturity of BIM Implementation in the AECO Industry

Abstract:

The overall adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has increased considerably in recent years; however, utilization of BIMs post-construction is still seldom explored or documented. Much of this may be due to the fact that there still remains great inconsistency between stakeholders levels of BIM proficiency. In order to achieve a life-cycle use of BIMs, it is critical that the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry determine if it is moving closer to achieving a mature BIM standard or if organizationally it is still just grazing the surface of what BIM can do. Based on a survey of a diverse sample of the construction industry, this study evaluates the quality and maturity of BIM implementation across various organizations as well as the quality of BIM execution on current construction projects.
