questionnaire
The first objective is to survey the ratio of AEC companies<br>of using BIM in the UK, US and other countries.
The second objective is to identify the benefits to the companies who are using this design technology. Furthermore,for the companies who have not used BIM,<br>what are the barriers to adopt this technology

BIM changes the process
“BIM enables better decisions; faster BIM reduces the<br>abstraction and integrates the multiple disciplines, including<br>design and documentation. And BIM integrates<br>plans, sections, details, graphics, and data in ways not<br>possible in 2D
BIM benefits during the operation phase
data from a survey of about 70 individuals from the<br>AEC industry on BIM adoption, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers.
concludes that improvements are still needed in the development of BIM technology.<br>Secondly, complete adoption of the technology by the AEC industry will take a few more years.
barriers
People barriers
lots of people do not want to learn how<br>to operate BIM, or they may think current design technology<br>is enough for them to design the projects
the future of BIM
most people<br>are aware of them and show an interest in BIM. Some<br>companies also claim that they will adopt BIM within<br>3 years
