Enhancing Construction Project Delivery in Nigeria Through Building Information Modelling (BIM): Trends, Adoption and Industry Challenges

This study examines the integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Nigeria’s construction industry, focusing on its potential to enhance project delivery. Through a qualitative approach involving 37 construction professionals, the study investigates current adoption trends, key challenges, and implications for industry stakeholders. Findings reveal high awareness of BIM (100%) among respondents; however, 67% possess knowledge but are not currently applying it. Challenges include lack of skilled personnel, high software costs, and resistance to change. The study highlights the need for training, policy support, and collaborative practices to unlock BIM’s full potential for efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality project delivery.
