Public Sector BIM Adoption: Development and Evaluation of Government Policy Interventions: A Systematic Literature Review

Rapid technological advancements in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector have provided a significant opportunity for improving the industry's efficiency, performance and sustainability. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an innovative approach to information management in construction that provides a structured methodology for storing and analysing building information exchanged between project stakeholders. However, successful interventions and supports introduced by the public sector in accelerating BIM adoption can be seen through BIM mandates, promotion of information management ISO standards, guidance, funding and procurement integration. In this study, a systematic literature review is adopted to identify BIM policy interventions. The study aims to analyse national BIM interventions with varying degrees of success, compare their general impacts, and identify how the Irish Government could deploy these interventions to address current challenges and establish a formal BIM implementation plan. The outcomes of this study will potentially act as a guideline to industry players for the future development of BIM-based projects.
