Resumen
CALITZ, S y WIUM, J A. A proposal to facilitate BIM implementation across the South African construction industry. J. S. Afr. Inst. Civ. Eng. [online]. 2022, vol.64, n.4, pp.29-37. ISSN 2309-8775. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2309-8775/2022/v64n4a3.
The value of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been noted by the global construction industry, and several countries are facilitating BIM through national strategies and initiatives. However, the South African Construction Industry (SACI) lacks widespread and effective BIM implementation. Therefore, this study presents a proposal to facilitate BIM implementation across the industry. A qualitative, exploratory methodology was followed involving semi-structured interviews with nine BIM experts. The interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. An understanding was gained of the challenges associated with BIM implementation across the construction industry. Possible solutions were found in terms of initiatives and strategies to facilitate and promote BIM implementation locally. Key role-players responsible for facilitating BIM implementation in the SACI were identified. Finally, a proposal is made to facilitate BIM implementation across the local industry, which comprises three key concepts, namely leadership, strategy, and roles and responsibilities. This research contributes to BIM adoption and implementation in the SACI and can be used for future research on national BIM implementation strategies.
