Abstract

BIM technology is a design approach recommended by EU directives that started to gain momentum in the years 2012–2014. This technology enables the user to create building plans and designs more quickly while avoiding many errors. In addition, by entering certain data into BIM models, it is easier to complete consecutive steps connected to the construction, use and demolition of buildings. It has also been noticed that BIM is not as popular in practice as it might appear, despite the many unquestionable benefits arising from its application. This article presents the results of a study of barriers that have constrained the development of BIM technology in recent years all over the world. The strength of factors defined on the basis of the literature was assessed. The analyses were carried out using the author’s own evaluation method, which allowed the power of the most important barriers to be assessed. This study shows that financial barriers, mentioned by many authors as the most important factor, still remain a serious problem, and their strength is the highest among the analyzed barriers. Barriers associated with the shortage of knowledge and specialists also feature prominently in assessments, and their importance continues to display a tendency to increase.
