Structural Equation Model for BIM Adoption in the Turkish Construction Industry

Abstract

The construction industry is criticized as lagging behind other sectors in terms of digitalization and technology adoption. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is widely acknowledged as a transformative tool that can drive significant progress in the construction industry amid ongoing technological developments. Despite widespread recognition of BIM’s benefits for the construction industry, adoption rates in Türkiye remain below expectations. Therefore, this study aims to present a BIM adoption model tailored to the Turkish construction industry. The model was tested using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method, incorporating insights from 150 industry professionals in Türkiye. According to the SEM analysis results, “Environmental Factors” have a significant impact on “Organizational Factors” and “Perceived Ease of Use” while "Behavioral Intention" mediates the relationship between "Perceived Usefulness" and "Actual BIM Usage". Developed model highlights key areas for BIM adoption improvement in Türkiye. Additionally, the model can serve as a tool for assessing BIM adoption performance and facilitating benchmarking between companies, thereby boosting overall industrial success through improved BIM adoption.
