Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) content has become the most advanced approach to integrating information in infrastructure projects. There is a clear trend of BIM expansion worldwide, but Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) is lagging behind as there are still no BIM projects done. Industry reports forecast that the wider adoption of BIM will unlock 15–25% savings to the global infrastructure market by 2025. The benefits of BIM are many and mostly refer to improved collaboration within stakeholders, reduced costs for companies as well as reduced repetitive and time-consuming procedures. This paper brings out the results of the BIM awareness survey conducted in B&H, including the ranking of expected advantages for B&H construction industry from implementation of BIM. Apparently, there are many challenges ahead Governments, construction industry and academy in the country. Therefore, this paper also draft outlines of roadmap for the BIM implementation at the national level.
