ABSTRACT
Infrastructure development is a critical enabler of economic growth in all countries. Hence, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry has a very important role to facilitate this economic growth. However, the industry faces a lot of challenges. Therefore, creativity and use of innovative technology is a must to overcome these challenges. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an emerging technological process that has changed the way the industry functions. This paper is an exposition of factors influencing BIM implementation so that upcoming countries in adopting BIM can learn from other countries. The results have revealed that adoption of BIM has been varying from country to country due to levels of development in each country. Therefore, developing economies should take advantage of the wealth of knowledge which has been generated so far. Finally, provisional sums need to be included in infrastructure projects contract documents for BIM training to facilitate easy adoption.
