Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a revolutionary paradigm which espouses modernization and innovativeness to the conventional Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) industry. Successful BIM model is enriched with information which was congregated during design phase and such information should be circulated throughout the project life cycle without disturbing its originality. Nevertheless, when the complete BIM information is transferred to the site office, the on-site personnel are not absorbing the real essence of effective BIM information for on-site construction activities. Improvements in Mobile Computing Technology (MCT) have succeeded in linking this communication gap through forms of electronic pocketbooks, personnel laptops and Personal Digital Assistants (PDA). Even though, there is a greater push from technology, site personnel are not willing to accept it and they still prefer the traditional procedure. This discloses that site personnel are not prepared to practice such technologies due to their nature of Resistance to Change (RTC). Subsequently, the aim of the research is to identify the challenges of transcending BIM information from design phase to real time on-site construction phase. To accomplish the aim, a qualitative research approach was followed, steering semi-structured interviews. The gathered information was analysed rigorously through computer based content analysis. This topical study manifest that, all the recognized resisting factors extensively challenge the transcending of BIM information to the on-site construction phase. Hence, the research has successfully identified the challenges which barricade the transcending of BIM information to real time on-site construction phase.
