Barrier Analysis to Implement Building Information Modeling (BIM) Execution Plan in Sri Lankan Construction Industry

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) can bring the project team significant advantages. BIM can be used to improve the project's delivery and usage throughout its life cycle. The concept of BIM is currently being used in the construction industry worldwide. Currently, technologies such as 3D 4D 5D BIM are being used in the construction industry. And, lot of countries are using a BEP. A well-conceived BEP on your BIM-enabled project, make sure the advanced design technologies are successfully deployed. In contrast, the BEP focuses on improving work and model flow throughout the project to promoting specialized interests for each individual stakeholder. Currently, BEP In light of the benefits BEP offers, it is practiced all over the world, but due to numerous obstacles, it is less common in Sri Lanka. This study examined current BIM techniques in SL, BIM adoption in Sri Lanka, BIM awareness in the country's construction industry, how an execution plan can help with BIM implementation, The challenges to modifying an implementation strategy for the Sri Lankan construction industry, suggestions for overcome the identified barriers. Through this study, suggestions for removing the identified barriers are also acknowledged. Less understanding of the idea and its advantages, government support for traditional practices documentation approach and problems in lack of knowledge were identified as foremost barriers for successful implementation o were determined to be the main obstacles to the successful implementation of BEP. Additionally, findings suggested that Sri Lankans must undergo cultural changes BIM practices, difficulties, and raising awareness among those involved in the construction industry.
