A Critical Analysis of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) Towards Adopting BIM by Architects in India

Abstract

In India architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry has been in a transitional phase in the context of technology that keeps changing and upgrading at a continual pace. Building Information Modeling is deemed to be the latest development in the AEC industry at pan India level where architects are the first and foremost professionals that have adopted this high tech and new age technology in their architectural practices but unfortunately, very a smaller number of architectural firms are working on the projects through implementing BIM that too not in complete mode. BIM helps to achieve the goal by decreasing cost, minimizing human errors, increasing productivity, reduce the project delivery time to create a quality of output within all relevant domains in the AEC industry from micro to macro level. The primary aim of this research is to identify and recognize the setbacks in the way to adopt it by architects in India.
