Ltd.10.26689/jard.v9i5.11686ArticleApplication of BIM in Developing Countries and Implicationshttps://artdesignp.com/journal/JARD/9/5/10.26689/jard.v9i5.11686KangShuxing,WuJia2025952025-09-26Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology can solve construction issues from multiple perspectives, including technical and managerial. While existing research has primarily focused on BIM’s benefits and framework development, few studies discussed whether BIM can be successfully applied in developing countries. This paper examines the current status and key obstacles hindering BIM adoption in developing countries, analyzing their underlying causes. Notably, the study reveals that high BIM awareness does not directly lead to high BIM usage. The findings aim to provide theoretical support for enhancing the BIM environment and increasing implementation feasibility in developing countries. Additionally, the research identifies critical barriers for governments to address in promoting BIM adoption, offering a foundation for policy formulation.
