Adoption of building information modeling (BIM) in India

The design communication is gradually being changed from 2D based to integrated 3D digital interface. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a model-based design concept, in which buildings will be built virtually before they get built out in the field, where data models organized for complete integration of all relevant factors in the building lifecycle which also manages the information exchange between the AEC (Architects, Engineers, Contractors) professionals, to strengthen the interaction between the design team.

This study deals with the adoption of BIM application in India, to do that a survey has been designed to check the acceptance of BIM till date, while this application is widely accepted throughout the industry in many countries for managing project information with capabilities for cost control and facilities management.
