Abstract

Building information modeling (BIM) is transforming the construction life cycle. Nonetheless, there is a notable gap in research regarding the key challenges associated with BIM. This study aims to investigate the primary challenges in the design phase and their implications for project success. To address these objectives, cross-country case studies were conducted in four large engineering companies from the USA, Canada, Brazil, and United Arab Emirates. Data were collected through 23 semi-structured interviews with managers, engineers and directors, and content analysis was performed using NVIVO software. The resulting coding structure revealed the following categories: organizational and cultural issues, professional and knowledge issues, technological and operational issues, cost issues, BIM specific issues, design issues, data issues, and information and communication issues. The findings highlighted the most significant challenge as the lack of BIM knowledge or expertise. Additionally, an important enabler in the design phase is the accuracy of data provided by BIM, which enhances project management analysis. Finally, the BIM challenges and enablers influence various benefits dimensions, particularly on the efficiency.

探索设计阶段建筑信息模型（BIM）所面临的挑战：来自跨国研究的证据

建筑信息模型（BIM）正在改变建筑生命周期。然而，在与 BIM 相关的主要挑战方面的研究还存在明显差距。本研究旨在调查设计阶段的主要挑战及其对项目成功的影响。为了实现这些目标，我们对来自美国、加拿大、巴西和阿拉伯联合酋长国的四家大型工程公司进行了跨国案例研究。通过对经理、工程师和主管进行 23 次半结构化访谈收集了数据，并使用 NVIVO 软件进行了内容分析。由此产生的编码结构揭示了以下类别：组织和文化问题、专业和知识问题、技术和运营问题、成本问题、BIM 具体问题、设计问题、数据问题以及信息和交流问题。研究结果表明，最重要的挑战是缺乏 BIM 知识或专业技能。此外，设计阶段的一个重要推动因素是 BIM 所提供数据的准确性，这可以加强项目管理分析。最后，BIM 的挑战和促进因素影响着各种效益，特别是效率。
