Abstract
The architecture, engineering, and construction industry have recently become more aware of building information modeling (BIM). Facilities management (FM) is one particular application of BIM. However, existing literature has shown that the applications of BIM in FM practices are yet to be widely adopted specifically for large-scale projects. This study aimed to identify challenges and barriers influencing the adoption of building information modeling (BIM) and facility management for metro rail Projects in India. Thus, the authors suggested different sequence research methods to gather the data, and both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used. Qualitative data were collected and analysed based on a literature review of similar studies, and semi-structured interviews followed by an online survey with a total of 81 participants. As a result of this research, factors that influence the adoption of BIM to enable FM for metro rail projects have been investigated. These findings may assist BIM implementation and FM professionals to establish a baseline and find solutions to enable implement BIM successfully in the area of FM activities for metro rail projects in India.
