Hinder och åtgärder för ökatanvändning av BIM i byggbranschen

Sammanfattning: The construction industry faces common challenges in managing project information andcommunication, with a lack of communication costing the industry up to 60 billion SEKannually. To address these issues and improve efficiency, the industry has begunimplementing a digital approach, exemplified by Building Information Modelling (BIM). The purpose of this study is to enhance understanding of the use of digital tools (BIM) intoday's construction projects, specifically focusing on the design, construction, andmanagement phases, with an emphasis on Building Information Modelling (BIM). The study aims to specify the difficulties encountered in BIM usage and identify measuresthat can facilitate its implementation in construction projects. These goals are achievedthrough interviewing BIM coordinators, designers, architects, and facility managers,examining their work process and challenges related to the implementation of BIM inconstruction projects. Furthermore, the study analyzes the educational aspect forconstruction technology students. The results indicate that students have different perspectives on BIM, which may be dueto their basic education and lack of experience. It is important for students to obtain amore comprehensive understanding of BIM and the associated digital tools during theireducation to adapt to 3D modeling in their professional lives. The study proposesmeasures to enhance education, providing future professionals with a betterunderstanding of BIM and 3D design. Finally, the results demonstrate that BIM is valuable for the construction industry, withbenefits such as efficiency, cost reduction, and improved collaboration. Currently, 3Dmodeling is the most common level of BIM usage, while the 4D and 5D approaches thatoffer time and cost dimensions are less common. Many stakeholders have not yet fullyutilized BIM's full potential due to lack of knowledge, licenses, and educational needs inthese areas.
