Construction project stakeholders’ perceptions and expectations of their roles in BIM-based collaboration

Abstract

The article presents the results of the survey aimed to analyze the attitude and perceptions regarding the use of BIM for data handling and analysis. Two target groups were researched, according to the role they play in building processes, namely public administrations (including tenants, owners, and building administrators) and Professionals (engineers / architects). The study conducted during the Net-UBIEP (Network for Using BIM to Increase the Energy Performance) project. The purpose of this study was to assess the implementation of building information modeling (BIM) as a tool and a process among key stakeholders in order to understand the current use of BIM, benefits of using BIM, obstacles of using BIM as well as possible future use. This study can be used as a pre-analysis of feedback from building users and construction professionals and can contribute to the co-adaptation process between BIM knowledge providers and BIM users.
