Abstract

Construction sector of Pakistan has rapidly developed with a higher growth rate of 9.05 percent during the period 2016-2017. However, a poor record of completing the projects in allocated time, cost, and with desired results is observed. One of the reasons for such poor performance is sticking to the traditional management practices that can be easily overcome with the implementation of building information modeling (BIM) tools. This study attempts to educate the stakeholders of the public sector of construction industry in Pakistan, as to how BIM can help them in minimizing the problems being faced during construction. BIM was implemented on a running construction project of a government hospital. The results were then presented to the key stakeholders, and they were asked to rank how BIM can help them in overcoming the problems. The stakeholders were generally convinced to use BIM on future construction projects, and agreed to take appropriate measures for BIM implementation in their departments. This research is expected to help in enhancing the performance of construction industry through BIM implementation.
