The current implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) by construction professionals in the Kenyan construction industry is an area of concern. BIM is increasingly being applied worldwide to improve communication between project stakeholders, visualization of design, detect potential clashes, reduced redesign during project implementation, improve design quality, reduce costs, and improve the rate of return for projects. However, the application of BIM in the Kenyan construction industry is still lagging, resulting in poor co-ordination of information among construction project stakeholders. This study determines the current state of BIM application, the benefits of BIM application and the BIM application barriers in Kenya. A quantitative research approach was used and data was collected, using an online questionnaire survey from 310 registered construction professionals selected by stratified sampling. The benefits and barriers factors that influence BIM application in Kenya were rated and set as the independent variables with ‘years of experience’ and ‘total completed projects’ as the dependent variables. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to extract the main factors for benefits and barriers of BIM implementation. Chi-square tests were used to determine relationships between independent and dependent variables. Improved communication was ranked as the most important BIM benefit, while the high cost of buying and updating software was ranked as the main barrier to the application of BIM. Based on the results of the study, improved design quality is influenced by the number of years of experience one has in the building construction industry. The number of projects undertaken by a company using BIM in any capacity has an influence on greater productivity, due to easy retrieval of information. It is recommended that BIM training should be undertaken by software vendors in vocational and tertiary institutions as well as in construction firms. In addition, the government should formulate policies and standards to support the use of BIM. This study adds to the body of knowledge about BIM application in Nairobi, Kenya that is beneficial to developers, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, project managers, contractors, and facility managers. Keywords : Building information modelling (BIM), BIM adoption, Kenyan construction sector

肯尼亚建筑业采用建筑信息模型

肯尼亚建筑业中建筑专业人士当前正在实施的建筑信息模型(BIM)是一个令人关注的领域。BIM在全球范围内得到越来越广泛的应用,以改善项目干系人之间的沟通,设计的可视化,检测潜在冲突,减少项目实施过程中的重新设计,提高设计质量,降低成本并提高项目的回报率。但是,BIM在肯尼亚建筑业中的应用仍然滞后,导致建筑项目利益相关者之间的信息协调不力。这项研究确定了BIM应用程序的当前状态,BIM应用程序的好处以及肯尼亚的BIM应用程序障碍。使用了定量研究方法并收集了数据,使用通过分层抽样选择的310名注册建筑专业人员的在线问卷调查。将影响肯尼亚BIM应用的收益和障碍因素定为自变量,并以“经验年限”和“已完成项目总数”为因变量。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)第24版对数据进行了分析。主要成分分析(PCA)用于提取实现BIM的收益和障碍的主要因素。卡方检验用于确定自变量和因变量之间的关系。改进的通信被认为是BIM最重要的好处,而购买和更新软件的高昂费用被认为是应用BIM的主要障碍。根据研究结果,设计质量的提高受建筑业从业者多年经验的影响。由于易于检索信息,因此以任何能力使用BIM的公司承担的项目数量都会影响到更高的生产率。建议由软件供应商在职业和大专院校以及建筑公司中进行BIM培训。此外,政府应制定政策和标准以支持BIM的使用。这项研究为肯尼亚内罗毕增加了有关BIM应用的知识,这对开发人员,建筑师,工程师,工料测量师,项目经理,承包商和设施经理很有帮助。关键字:建筑信息模型(BIM),采用BIM,肯尼亚建筑业 由于易于检索信息,因此以任何能力使用BIM的公司承担的项目数量都会影响到更高的生产率。建议由软件供应商在职业和大专院校以及建筑公司中进行BIM培训。此外,政府应制定政策和标准以支持BIM的使用。这项研究为肯尼亚内罗毕增加了有关BIM应用的知识,这对开发人员,建筑师,工程师,工料测量师,项目经理,承包商和设施经理很有帮助。关键字:建筑信息模型(BIM),采用BIM,肯尼亚建筑业 由于易于检索信息,因此以任何能力使用BIM的公司承担的项目数量都会影响到更高的生产率。建议由软件供应商在职业和大专院校以及建筑公司中进行BIM培训。此外,政府应制定政策和标准以支持BIM的使用。这项研究为肯尼亚内罗毕增加了有关BIM应用的知识,这对开发人员,建筑师,工程师,工料测量师,项目经理,承包商和设施经理很有帮助。关键字:建筑信息模型(BIM),采用BIM,肯尼亚建筑业 建议由软件供应商在职业和大专院校以及建筑公司中进行BIM培训。此外,政府应制定政策和标准以支持BIM的使用。这项研究为肯尼亚内罗毕增加了有关BIM应用的知识,这对开发人员,建筑师,工程师,工料测量师,项目经理,承包商和设施经理很有帮助。关键字:建筑信息模型(BIM),采用BIM,肯尼亚建筑业 建议由软件供应商在职业和大专院校以及建筑公司中进行BIM培训。此外,政府应制定政策和标准以支持BIM的使用。这项研究为肯尼亚内罗毕增加了有关BIM应用的知识,这对开发人员,建筑师,工程师,工料测量师,项目经理,承包商和设施经理很有帮助。关键字:建筑信息模型(BIM),采用BIM,肯尼亚建筑业 建筑师,工程师,工料测量师,项目经理,承包商和设施经理。关键字:建筑信息模型(BIM),采用BIM,肯尼亚建筑业 建筑师,工程师,工料测量师,项目经理,承包商和设施经理。关键字:建筑信息模型(BIM),采用BIM,肯尼亚建筑业
