Civil engineering (General) Many topical issues regarding the problems and challenges across construction are governance, method of construction, and regulatory framework. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a current technology that enhances project performance and has been widely adopted in the building industry to produce better outcomes. BIM enables better coordination, synchronization, and sequencing of projects, which allows all project participants to access and retrieve project information. Hence, the study aims to develop a clear understanding of BIM implementation and to strategize an effective technique to be exploited for its adoption in the Nigerian construction industry. Data was collected through a survey questionnaire using a random sampling technique being administered on fifty-four (54) construction stakeholders in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nigeria and was analyzed using an excel spreadsheet and Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). This study pointed out some factors that impede BIM adoption in Nigeria construction industry which is people, policies, process, and technology. From the results, it shows that for first objective, adoption level of BIM has the highest mean score of 4.63 with perception on the process whereby there is lack of inclusion of BIM into the university curriculum is recommended. As for second objective which has 4.48 highest mean score, is associated with the Lack of inadequate funding. Additionally, the third objective placed elements of the strategies to be adopted to provide possible solutions to the challenges, such as; provide BIM awareness, provide a chance to observe efficiency of BIM tools, and Provide staff with BIM training opportunities mean value of 4.61. Hence by adopting this BIM in Nigeria it believes that the whole process and performance of construction industry might be improved. 2020 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/91986/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/91986/1/PeterShutGyangMSKA2020.pdf.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:138701 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Faculty of Engineering - School of Civil Engineering
