Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has emerged as a buzz-word that defines both an information sharing approach and an information management strategy for the design, construction, and operations of complex built asset projects. BIM has evolved to encompass most modern and innovative information management approaches, software development, and implementation efforts, and has been viewed as an enabler and facilitator of projects on the integrated management and delivery of built assets, as it supports modern project delivery approaches and provides a foundation for driving digital transformation towards a value- and data-driven culture. The uptake of technologies and information management methodologies introduced through BIM has not been seamless or easy for the industry. For many years, both academia and industry have worked to establish methods that would result in the most beneficial and effective outcomes while implementing a successful information management strategy, as introduced by BIM. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide up-to-date research results regarding the use, uptake, and adoption of BIM in different fields and for different processes in the construction and wider built environment sectors.
