Building Collaboration Among Construction Professionals on Building Information Modelling (BIM) Implementation in Abuja, Nigeria

Abstract

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is one of the most important technical developments in the building design and construction industry to date. BIM adoption has risen dramatically over the last decade, as project participants recognize that awareness and information sharing is one of the most important aspects of a successful contractual partnership among stakeholders in the construction industry, due to a lack of collaboration among the parties, the project was delayed, materials were wasted, rework was done, and the work was of poor quality. This research aims to create a guiding principle for active participation among professionals in order to improve BIM implementation proficiency. A total of 115 questionnaires were distributed to Architects, Quantity surveyors, Structural engineers, and Builders. Eighty-five (85) questionnaires were returned and analyzed, accounting for 73.9 percent of the total. The data obtained was analyzed using descriptive analysis (chart, table, relative important index and mean item score). The study resulted in a “reduction and avoidance of project failure, as well as team building,” according to the researchers, who went on to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of building. Finally, the factors that enhance BIM cooperation and how stakeholder success can be assessed were investigated, who went on to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of building. Finally, the factors that enhance BIM cooperation and how stakeholder success can be assessed were investigated finally, the factors that enhance BIM cooperation and how stakeholder success can be assessed were investigated, with the conclusion that professional engagement can minimize project delays and improve project delivery time and quality. If efficiency, project completion on time, quality, and cost remain the organization's priorities for successful and productive productivity, it was recommended that deliberate technique be instituted during the construction process to effectively develop and assess the binding relationship and performance among all parties in the construction sector.
