Tiivistelmä
The aim of this bachelor’s thesis was to investigate the possibilities of the implementation of BIM in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry for developing countries.
The thesis first studied literary sources to identify the challenges of BIM implementation in ten developing countries. The practical approach modelled a pre-stressed single box girder bridge with Tekla Structure, utilizing BIM for various tasks. The structural validation and information take-offs were conducted using Solibri model checker. During the modelling process, various benefits such as better visualization and coordination, information modelling process, clash detection, information quantity take-offs were noticed and discussed.
Six obstacles that hinder the utilization of BIM in developing countries were established on the basis of the literary study. Based on this, some recommendations were proposed to raise BIM awareness and encourage BIM implementation in developing countries, such as giving university courses in BIM, consulting clients, and giving organizational support.
The thesis can be used for educational purposes, and as a suggestion for the preliminary process of BIM implementation in developing countries.
