Status of building information modelling (BIM) in construction practice-UK context

This paper presents the level of Building Information Modelling (BIM) practices in the current UK construction industries. A survey was undertaken which contains a series of a self-explanatory questionnaire. The survey analysis provides an understanding of the level of BIM in practice and how BIM can be incorporated in the future construction industries from theory to practice. Findings suggest that most big companies are in the process of adopting BIM at some level of practice, while small companies are dropped behind. BIM is also very much depending on the clients’ demand and the project complexity. Overall, the infrastructure construction industry is moving forward in the direction of complete BIM in practice.
