2. Literature
In this Chapter a literature review is performed. It discusses the current BIM literature in order to
identify BIM barriers, existing standards and initiatives as well as existing BIM architectures.
Furthermore, an attempt is made to define BIM maturity levels.
2.1 Barriers for BIM adoption
Yan and Demian questioned 67 AEC academics and practitioners in the
UK and found that according
to their beliefs, the biggest barrier to BIM adoption was the time and human resource cost of BIM
training (Yan and Demian 2008). This seems in line with a more recent study of BIM adoption in the
Dutch construction industry by a Dutch publisher of market research in the construction industry. In
their research they found that the required training and knowledge for
BIM was the number one
concern regarding BIM adoption (‘BIM & Ketensamenwerking in Kaart’ 2015). A close second was
‘difference in BIM usage between parties’. Bryde et al found that most of the
negative benefits or
challenges of implementing BIM focussed on software or hardware issues (Bryde, Broquetas, and
Volm 2013).
In their assessment of the current state of BIM benefits and challenges, Solnosky identified the
following challenge classes (Solnosky 2013):
•
Legal and contractual
• Educational training
•
Information modelling
• Software
• Cost
These classes largely coincide with the findings from the explorative literature performed in
preparation of this thesis (Bosdriesz 2018). Solnosky also identified major possible future
benefits for
BIM, mainly in the domain of integration. Further integration with existing processes is the next step
of BIM, but still proves to be a challenge.
In order to compare these barriers
with our case study, we identify four main barriers:
•
Barrier 1.
