Abstract
The construction market constitutes over 10% of the global economy, and the rising demand for infrastructure projects, driven by population growth, is notable. In India, the construction sector is among the most promising markets in comparison to other South Asian countries, owing to the presence of numerous international companies engaged in construction activities. The adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology offers an advanced communication system that facilitates effective collaboration among all stakeholders involved in construction projects. This research investigates the reasons hindering the shift toward a collaborative construction approach in the Indian construction market by examining the current utilization of BIM in ongoing projects within India. Furthermore, the research addresses the challenges faced by BIM users. A quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing a survey questionnaire as the primary tool. The key finding of the study is that BIM implementation in India's construction industry is currently weak and requires significant enhancement, particularly in areas such as cost estimation aligned with BIM standards.
