Roadmap for the Building Information Modeling Implementation: Structured Plans to Achieve High-Level Strategic Maturity in the Philippines’ Construction Industry

The purpose of the study is to develop a BIM roadmap to assist the Philippines’ construction industry in advancing toward a more mature and higher level of BIM implementation. The roadmap will be used to guide the industry in the integration of BIM technology into every construction and architectural project. The study utilizes a quantitative and qualitative approach to create a BIM Maturity Framework to assess the current maturity of the Philippines’ BIM industry. The BIM maturity framework consists of five main categories: process, technology, organization, standard, and people. Along with that, sub-fundamental components under BIM capability and competencies were generated to fully measure the maturity of BIM in different areas. Furthermore, the study assesses the current maturity of BIM implementation in the Philippines. The study concluded that among the BIM implementing company based in the country, international companies were already mature enough to use BIM methodologies This suggests that multinational firms have optimal (high maturity) BIM maturity levels when compared to local enterprises which have integrated (mid-high maturity) level. Moreover, several challenges were identified in the difficulties they are facing during the implementation of BIM. Each obstacle on each focus areas was given a proposed strategic plan and actions to overcome hurdles and creates a path for improvement. Furthermore, to fully adopt and integrate the BIM technology in the Philippines, a five-year plan roadmap is introduced to assist the country in achieving a more mature and high-level BIM implementation.
