ASSESSMENT OF LIMITATIONS OF BIM IMPLEMENTATION IN RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly being implemented both in the World and in Lithuania. The benefits provided by BIM promise a much more efficient and smoother construction process and suggest that the construction market of the future will continue to develop based on the BIM methodology. However, both the implementation and development of BIM can face some challenges, obstacles and limitations for construction market participants that occur with the use of BIM and that can slow down the smooth implementation of a project. This paper examines the difficulties of BIM in the implementation and use phase. During the research, the literature sources were analysed describing the implementation of BIM in the development of residential and other projects. The advantages and challenges of BIM described by the authors were analysed, and the emerging problems were highlighted. The literature sources analysed and found BIM limitations were grouped according to the most frequently mentioned.Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly being implemented both in the World and in Lithuania.
