Abstract
The objective of the research is to define the level of the use of BIM technologies (Building Information Modeling, or information modeling of buildings and structures) by the Russian companies. The identification of the reasons of BIM introduction or its refusal was also carried out. The advantages given by the use of BIM were revealed. It was proved that the BIM technologies promote the reduction of terms of the project implementation, the general upgrading of the project documentation and the construction-and-installation works performed on its basis, as well as the reduction of the project cost. The results of the research proved that 22% of the Russian enterprises of the investment-and-structural sphere use BIM during various stages of introduction. The application of BIM allows getting some advantages, including the improved understanding of the project by all the participants, high quality of the project, availability of information, fast data transmission and exchange of information, reduction of terms of design and/or construction. The results of the research can be useful for the numerous participants of the investment-and-structural sphere, who have individual, sometimes contradictory interests.
Highlights
Modern construction is the sphere of high technologies and innovations because of the extraordinary information saturation and technology complexity
The purpose of the online questioning was the studying of the attitude of the target audience to the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies: the identification of the main obstacles to the development of technologies of information modeling, the compliance of expectations from the introduction of BIM to the received results and plans for the introduction or reasons for refusal of the introduction of BIM
427 respondents took part in the telephone survey, which purpose was the identification of the level of introduction of BIM at the Russian enterprises of the investment-and-construction sphere
Summary
Modern construction is the sphere of high technologies and innovations because of the extraordinary information saturation and technology complexity. The need of collecting, accounting, processing and the subsequent adjustment of considerable information massifs during the design, construction and maintenance of the capital construction projects resulted in the need to use the modern information technologies and some specialized software products. Such products are known to be directed on the creation of the digital information model of a construction project. A rather high level of the use of BIM technologies is noted in the USA [1,2], some developed countries of Europe [3,4,5,6] and Asia [7,8,9]. Numerous examples of the projects, implemented with the use of BIM, prove that this technology promotes the reduction of project deadlines, the general improvement of quality of the project documentation and the construction-andinstallation works, performed on its basis as well as the reduction in the project cost [10-
