It is clear that, many firms and contractors are now operating on thin margins; which makes it increasingly difficult for them to commit to the introduction of new software applications and system upgrades. The transition to Building Information Modelling (BIM) from traditional 2D CAD by Irish firms and contractors has been a relatively slow process compared with the international colleagues. There are many reasons for this, including lack of resources, lack of awareness, ignorance, misunderstanding and adversity. The lack of BIM promotion and BIM training opportunities within the industry has meant that very few people possess the basic requirement to successfully embrace BIM at a level which would be considered efficient. BIM is the new way of operating and it is gaining momentum; the industry simply cannot turn a blind eye to the technology or it will be left behind. The industry must therefore adapt and change current working practices in order to compete with other established and recognized BIM nations. This paper will evaluate BIM in the international context and, investigate if these methodologies can be transferred to the Irish construction industry. This paper will also aim to identify obstacles and drivers for Irish firms, contractors and Government Departments with regard to BIM adoption, as well as the behavioral and cultural elements which are preventing BIM adoption in Ireland. It is hoped that the research findings will demonstrate a business case for the implementation of BIM, for both public and private sector organizations.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ij3dim.2014010102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,7]],"date-time":"2014-05-07T15:05:04Z","timestamp":1399475104000},"page":"16-28","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Public\/Private BIM"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"John","family":"Deeney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Real Estate and Economics, Dublin Institute of Technology, Dublin, Ireland"}]},{"given":"Alan","family":"Hore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Real Estate and Economics, Dublin Institute of Technology, Dublin, Ireland"}]},{"given":"Barry","family":"McAuley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Real Estate and Economics, Dublin Institute of Technology, Dublin, Ireland"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"ij3dim.2014010102-0","unstructured":"BIM China report.
