Benchmarking Organisational BIM Certification in Ireland: Motivations, Benefits, and Future Needs

This study benchmarks the value of organisational BIM certification in Ireland through interviews and a survey with 13 organisations certified under a national ISO 19650-2 scheme. It explores motivations, perceived benefits, and future certification needs, offering insights into how certification supports digital delivery maturity. Findings highlight growing client recognition, internal process improvements, and interest in expanded schemes, including individual and project-level certification. As the first academic study of its kind in Ireland, it addresses a significant gap in the literature and informs the ongoing development of certification policy and practice in the Irish construction sector.
