Analysis of the use of BIM in Croatian construction industry

Abstract

The use of BIM in Croatia has not as yet been sufficiently investigated and, in that respect, this research aims to find out what is the current situation with BIM application in the Republic of Croatia. The results show that 20 to 25 percent of companies use BIM, 25 percent of designers use BIM software, while the use of BIM by other participants in the project is disturbingly low. Croatia has still not passed the basic zero level of BIM use, although positive trends of movement toward level one can be discerned. The authors call for urgent standardisation of BIM and appropriate adjustment of regulatory framework.
