Keywords:
BIM Implementation; Construction Digitalization; Digital Strategy; Project Management; Industry Transformation; Construction Innovation; Data IntegrationAbstract
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is revolutionizing the construction industry by enabling digital transformation and addressing inefficiencies in traditional practices. This study examines the impact of BIM on organizational processes, focusing on three key areas: project delivery efficiency, stakeholder collaboration, and data-driven decision-making. Drawing on data from 45 construction projects and 28 expert interviews, the research highlights tangible benefits of BIM adoption, including a 27% reduction in project delivery time and a 23% decrease in coordination errors. Organizations that strategically aligned BIM with broader digital initiatives achieved notably higher success rates, emphasizing the importance of integrating technological tools with organizational change management. However, challenges such as workforce adaptation, resistance to process changes, and data integration persist, often impeding the full potential of BIM implementation. The study provides a nuanced understanding of the transformative role of BIM in construction, offering practical insights for firms seeking to enhance operational efficiency and innovation. Findings underscore the necessity of a balanced approach that combines technological investments with workforce development and strategic alignment. By addressing these dimensions, construction firms can unlock the full potential of BIM and achieve sustainable digital transformation, contributing to enhanced productivity and competitiveness in the industry.
