Abstract
Emerging Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the most promising developments in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. It is hailed as a revolutionary technology and information management process that facilitates collaboration and provides more efficient design and construction processes through innovative 3D modelling software, open access to information and multidisciplinary integration. However, globally, many practitioners are still reluctant to adopt BIM. A clear business case for BIM adoption will facilitate decision-making whether to adopt it or not. This study uses a SWOT analysis planning tool to conduct an appraisal of BIM adoption on a chosen commercial case study project in Egypt. Furthermore, by integrating SWOT and the UK RIBA plan of Work, the different BIM systems required to address the various aspects of SWOT are identified. Furthermore, a cost appraisal of the different items required to adopt BIM is examined.
