A Survey Design and Analysis On Building Information Modeling (BIM) Implementation in Alberta

Nichols Applied Engineering Inc. has been contracted to design and conduct a survey on Alberta BIM implantation, as well as to do the analysis. The proposed survey will result in establishing the outlined baseline data assessing industry attitudes, motivations for BIM adoption (What’s working), understanding key issues, barriers and level of participation as a base to track effectiveness and impact of the future programs and services. The sought outcomes will help increase the global competitiveness of Alberta’s building industry through enhanced productivity and technical competitiveness; it will also form a base for current and future research, analysis and publication.
