The document discusses Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its adoption in India. It notes that BIM can help reduce project failures by providing visualization, planning, cost estimation and reducing errors. However, adoption of BIM in India faces challenges like low awareness, lack of skills and training, and high initial costs. While a few large organizations use BIM, adoption is still at an early stage in India compared to other countries that have established BIM policies and mandates.

NEED OF BIM
Projects are
suffering from
• Adversarial relationship
• Low productivity rates
• High rate of inefficiency
and rework
• Frequent disputes
• Lack of innovation
BIM provides
• Visualization of project prior to
construction
• Planning, Scheduling and
Controlling with better
collaboration between Client,
Architect/Designer and
Contractor
• Provide information scheduling
and cost estimation
• Reduce Building design errors
• Reduce Waste
Surveyors believe
that failure to adopt
BIM will hinder the
growth of sector Source : BIM news, BIMTODAY

BIM adoption in India
Used by Professionals
in Indian Built
Environment Sector
Maximum popularity
amongst Experienced
professionals
Used in large
organisation on large
and complex project
BIM is largely in
Experimentation stage
in India
Comparatively weak in
eastern region of India
There is some scepticism
as there are no market
leader & success stories

Cost
• Requires overcoming mind-set barrier
• Environment that resists change
• Initial effort and time needed for BIM is more
• Low awareness levels and significant
misconceptions on BIM in India
• Lack of government support
• Training and learning curve issues persist
• Management reluctant to use BIM
• BIM requires more effort upfront and team
discipline
• Initial hardware and software cost is high
• Difficult and expensive to implement
• BIM requires more effort upfront and team

CASE STUDY: MUMBAI MONO-RAIL
CLIENT: Larsen & Toubro
Key challenges: As the first-of-its-kind project in India, it proved to be intricate at many levels beginning with its geometric
design and its inability to find the appropriate technology to address it. There was a need to reuse information from drawings
in the absence of the actual profile from the designer in many cases.
Solution: AutoCAD Civil 3D
Techno-commercial benefits: AutoCAD Civil 3D helped establish India´s first monorail project as a precedent for achieving
a level of accuracy of up to 1 mm per m and accomplishing 80 per cent time optimisation in deliverables.
Client feedback: ´Autodesk has allowed us to redefine design processes, spurring innovation, achieving competitive
advantage and enhancing overall productivity and profitability.´
- Datta Gupta, Head IES Construction Engineering, L&T
The implementation of construction software is a huge task for any infrastructure player.
- Satish Pendse, Group CIO-HCC Group, and President-Highbar Technologies
BIM has much more potential to change the industry than CAD ever had.´
- Nirmalya Chatterjee,
COO and Business Director, Tekla India

 Low levels of BIM Awareness
 Lack of Skills for adopting BIM
 Used only by few large organizations
 BIM can reduce wastages, time & cost over-runs in
projects by decreasing errors
