Building Information Modeling (BIM) is gaining attention worldwide due to its assistances during the entire building’s construction life cycle covering all phases of project from commencement to accomplishment. BIM integrates different disciplines by effective communication, analyzes the project systems for constructability, estimates the cost and time of projects at any time using quantity takeoffs. Notwithstanding that fact Pakistan like other developing countries is lagging in Building Information Modeling (BIM) adoption. To facilitate the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the AEC industry, the purpose of this research study is to identify the important factors for BIM adoption among construction engineers of Pakistan to carry out the awareness.
It is found statistically that Building Information Modeling (BIM) capability is most important factors for the adoption of BIM among the construction engineers in Pakistan having the factors of motivation and management support which positively effect on BIM adoption in Pakistan. The trainings are very important to increase the BIM adoption in the industry.
