Ahmed AbouAlfa, founder of UAE BIM Association (UBA), says that changing the perception of BIM in SMEs, integrated project management, implementing the right software, and developing standards are some of the ways to address critical challenges in BIM adoption.

With the first-ever Virtual Middle East BIM Summit underway, he adds that successful BIM adoption also requires a high level of collaboration among stakeholders.

AbouAlfa recommends ten actions that companies, industry organisations, and governments can adopt to accelerate BIM adoption and better capitalise on what the technology can offer.
