Abstract

This study proposal looks at the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) which has provided a new level of technology and efficiency to the construction industry, making production processes more integrated and proficient. This type of innovation is a complex implementation process with many gaps that must be addressed. This Research Proposal highlights the challenges of implementing BIM, discussing strategies to transform this scenario. The methodology will be developed from synthesizing the literature and analyzing semi structured interviews with architects. The results which will be obtained through content analysis, will be  explained by the subdivision of the implementation challenges in the following categories: human factor, management, policy, market, and technology.

Keywords: BIM, Safety, Efficiency, Sustainability, Challenges, Construction, Implementation
