In practical implementation, numerous challenges hinder the widespread adoption and promotion of BIM. It is essential for all supervisors and leaders to clearly understand these obstacles:
(1) Lack of external motivation and pressure for change: There is limited demand from homeowners, and national standards remain incomplete.
(2) Enterprise development costs and risks: Transitioning to new design tools and collaborative models involves significant software and hardware expenses, training costs, investment in new technologies, adapting existing design outputs, and inherent risks associated with change.
(3) Current business pressures: With a large volume of ongoing projects, tight deadlines, and intense workload, senior leaders in design firms tend to be proactive, whereas middle management often resists change. Additionally, designers frequently lack the time and energy required to learn new technologies.
(4) Insufficient personal motivation and resistance to change: The shift to 3D parametric design alters established design habits and collaboration workflows. The time investment needed to master new tools, the risks involved, and the presence (or absence) of incentives for technological advancement within units greatly impact BIM’s further adoption.
(5) Imperfect technology: Current BIM tools do not yet offer fully developed professional design functions, suffer from limited localization, and the technical support provided by BIM service vendors varies widely in quality.
