Asian Institute of Technology in Vietnam
Project Management in Construction
BIM – Will it transform the industry,or will it be business as usual?

by
Dr. Henrik Linderoth
Associate Professor
School of Technology and Society
University of Skövde
During the seminar Dr. Henrik explained that the emergence of new technologies has always triggered visionary ideas of changes of the state of art in organizations, industries and society. However, what we know from research is that changes do emerge, but often not as fast as expected and not in the directions predicted in the visionary ideas. In this sense BIM – Building information models – is no exception. The transformational capacity of BIM and its potential benefits has been discussed for two decades, but it is only during the last few years a more encompassing deployment of BIM can be witnessed. However, challenges still exist for management before any deeper impacts on the industry will be achieved. The challenges to solve can be viewed as layers of challenges in at least four categories: technical, legal, organizational and managerial. During the seminar these challenges will be discussed and I will draw parallels with a similar process in the health care sectors that I have studied for ten years. It appears that at the bottom line is the issue: Who are the beneficiaries and who has the power to shape the process?
