Abstract
In recent years Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been introduced and gradually adopted in the Vietnamese construction field. It has received simultaneously the increasing attention of stakeholders in construction projects because BIM could bring benefits to the stakeholders. However, the adoption of BIM, in reality, has faced many difficulties and has not achieved the desired results. This paper aims to explore the factors that hinder BIM adoption in the Vietnamese construction field. To achieve the aim, interviews were carried out to collect qualitative data from six practitioners in the Vietnamese construction sector. After that, the deductive content analysis technique was employed to analyze the data. The results indicate that the hindrances to the adoption of BIM in Vietnam are in four main groups including legal, technology and information security, financial, and perspective and culture. Stakeholders can utilize these research findings to make decisions to help the adoption of BIM become more favorable.
