ADVANCING BIM ADOPTION IN PAKISTAN: CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has transformed global construction by improving efficiency, coordination, and decision-making. However, its adoption in Pakistan remains limited due to persistent challenges. This study identifies key barriers to BIM implementation and proposes practical solutions tailored to the local context. A literature review and frequency-based analysis revealed eight major challenges, which were further explored through semi-structured interviews with BIM professionals in Pakistan. The resulting insights informed actionable guidelines to address these barriers. The findings aim to support effective BIM adoption, enhance project delivery, reduce delays, and control costs, contributing to the broader application of BIM in developing countries.
