Abstract
Building information modeling (BIM) is the current and future trend in the implementation of projects. Even though BIM can benefit all project participants in various aspects, implementing BIM in practice is often encountered with various difficulties stemming from different sources, especially BIM implementation at the organizational level. This is because the ecosystem of BIM organizations are different from that of conventional ones. This study investigates the problematic issues concerning BIM implementation by construction contractors. It first compiled and identified 32 major problematic issues concerning contractors’ BIM implementation. The necessary data were compiled from extensive literature review and collected through a questionnaire survey. By applying factor analysis, this study deduced eight underlying dimensions of the challenges of BIM implementation. These results help contractors realize problematic issues while implementing BIM at the organizational level. They can subsequently choose appropriate responsive measures to address such problems. This can clearly enhance the achievement of BIM implementation in practice and guide contractors to optimization in schedules and distribute resources.
