Briefing: Towards exploring profession-specific BIM challenges in the UK

Building information modelling (BIM) has been proposed as an enabler for greater efficiency and effectiveness within
the UK construction industry, providing digital management of construction data throughout the project life cycle.
The potential benefits of BIM have been widely discussed in published literature but relatively less attention has been
paid to the discipline/profession-specific challenges of wider industry adoption. Further studies, such as the authors’
ongoing research, could help to remedy this.
