Abstract
This paper discuss problems and results of BIM implementation in medium-size architectural practice upon 10-year time frame. The author analyses the process of BIM implementation from the practical and the theoretical point of view. The case study observations have been confronted with literature of the subject. Findings proved that practical benefits of using BIM technology in architectural practice are undisputed but many clients do not yet recognise the benefits of using BIM in the design/construction/operation process, and so refuse to bear the related costs. Therefore, BIM developmental and operational costs are not equally distributed among interested parties: architectural practices must bear the majority of the costs and risks related to implementing BIM technology. Moreover, architectural practice must overcome three basic BIM barriers: human, infrastructural and business.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
