1st Eurasian BIM Forum: Embracing the BIM Culture, İstanbul, Turkey, 31 May 2019, pp.1-12, (Full Text)
BIM is a novel technology and just initiated in developing countries in recent years. It is a fact that adopting BIM has a large cost at the initiation of implementation of the projects. The main reason for that, in the company perspective, BIM methodology is not well-known at the beginning of the project during the adaptation stage. Therefore, the transition to such a new system is quite costly, especially, in terms of software license and personnel training. On the other hand, after some period of time, BIM starts to impact to the progress of projects in a positive way, such as the project becomes more transparent and more visible, more manageable and controllable. So, the main outcome is the company starts to complete projects within much less duration and cost by using BIM. Although, the cost of using BIM seems quite high when it is used for the first time by a company, the cost of using BIM becomes much less for the following projects as your personnel would already be trained and you will already have the relevant software licences from the previous completed projects. The main issue is quantifying effects and inserting to the evaluation of the investment. In this study, we proposed an interview analysis for pros’ and cos’ for BIM adoption in Turkey.
