BIM a digital platform : An analysis within the Swedish construction sector (English)
Abstract [en]

The increasing use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction industry contributes to better communication and collaboration between actors through the building lifecycle. Even if BIM enables better communication among the actors, problems with information exchange seem to still emerge with the usage of different software in projects as one of the most commonly perceived causes. In addition to the variety of different companies and actors involved in a project. This creates a need for a shared open digital platform that provides efficient information exchange, data update, and storage. This paper aims to investigate if a common digital platform is a solution to the communication and collaboration problems in the industry, and to verify the hypothesis according to which BIM could function as a digital platform for the sector. Actors view of a common platform, i.e., if BIM can be the common platform or evolve into a digital platform ecosystem is presented and was investigated through 33 semi-structured interviews. The respondents agreed that there are issues due to the usage of different software products and platforms, which in the end affect the information exchange. Openness between actors is needed in a project, what's challenging is the question of ownership, who owns the shared information? This paper ends with an attempt to provide insight between actors in the construction industry regarding correct BIM implementation and a shared digital platform ecosystem.
