مقاله: Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Iran- An Exploratory Study
:Abstract
BIM has received considerable attention from academics and innovative construction companies in recent
years within the Iranian context. However, there is a conspicuous lack of studies, which give a picture of the current state
of BIM in Iran. To address this gap in the body of the knowledge, this study intends to present an account on the current
state of BIM with a focus on barriers and drivers associated with its adoption in Iran based on the perceptions of Iranian
construction practitioners. Drawing upon a questionnaire survey completed by 44 construction practitioners and through
deploying data visualization alongside statistical analyses, it came to light that industry practitioners in Iran are
inexperienced as to BIM’s use and the level of BIM implementation in the country is at the lowest level of BIM maturity.
That is, 29.5% of construction companies are involved in some level of BIM adoption whereas 56.8% have had no
exposure to BIM and 36.4% do not even have any plans to adopt BIM in the near future. The findings also showed that
the highest ranked barriers to adoption of BIM in Iran are almost entirely associated with the structure of the Iranian
market, the nature of the construction industry and the predominant business environment in the country as well as lack
of attention by policy makers and the government. On the other hand, major drivers were found to be associated with
monetary gains and enhancing competitiveness in the market. The clear message is that widespread adoption of BIM in
Iran will not occur in the absence of a supportive regulatory environment and financial assistance by policy makers. The
paper contributes to the field by sharing the preliminary findings of the first study conducted on BIM adoption in Iran,
which provides a sound basis for further inquiries on the topic.
