An Empirical Analysis of Barriers to Building Information Modelling (BIM) Implementation in Wood Construction Projects: Evidence from the Swedish Context

Building information modelling is gradually being recognised by the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation industry as a valuable opportunity to increase efficiency of built environment. Focusing on wood construction industry, BIM becoming necessity; this due its high level prefabrication complex digital procedures using sawing machines sophisticated cuttings. However, full implementation still far from reality. The main objective paper explore barriers affecting in Swedish industry.
