Abstract

This study aims to analyze the key factors for the adoption and activation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in the construction industry and propose effective strategies. The construction industry faces various challenges in project management, particularly decentralization and a lack of integration, which are identified as major issues. To address these challenges, BIM has been introduced to improve coordination, communication, and data management by providing digital representations across all stages, from design to construction. However, the adoption of BIM is influenced by various complex factors, including technical, organizational, economic, policy, and human factors. In this study, the Delphi method was used to collect and analyze expert opinions. The Delphi method is a systematic approach that gathers opinions through multiple rounds of surveys to achieve consensus among a group of experts. The study’s findings indicate that policy and regulatory support, technological innovation, system development and infrastructure, standardization, education and training, pilot projects, human resource development, awareness improvement, economic factors, and collaboration and partnerships are critical factors for the activation of BIM. By comprehensively considering and managing these factors, the successful adoption and utilization of BIM in the construction industry can be facilitated. The study results provide specific directions for promoting BIM technology in the construction sector and can serve as valuable foundational data for relevant policy formulation and implementation.

본 연구는 건설 산업에서 Building Information Modeling (BIM) 기술의 도입 및 활성화를 위한 주요 인자를 분석하고 효과적인 전략을 제안하는 것을 목표로 한다. 건설 산업은 프로젝트 관리에서 다양한 도전 과제에 직면해 있으며, 특히 분산화와 통합 부족이 주요 문제로 지적된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 BIM이 도입되었으며, 이는 설계부터 시공에 이르는 모든 단계에서 디지털 표현을 제공하여 조정, 소통 및 데이터 관리를 개선한다. 그러나 BIM의 도입은 기술적, 조직적, 경제적, 정책적, 인적 요인 등 여러 복합적인 요인의 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 델파이 기법을 활용하여 전문가의 의견을 수집하고 분석하였다. 델파이 기법은 전문가 집단의 합의를 도출하기 위해 여러 차례의 설문조사를 통해 체계적으로 의견을 수렴하는 방법이다. 연구 결과, BIM 활성화를 위해 정책 및 규제적 지원, 기술 혁신, 시스템 구축 및 인프라, 표준화, 교육 및 훈련, 파일럿 프로젝트, 인력 개발, 인식 개선, 경제적 요인, 협력 및 파트너십 등이 중요한 요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 요인들을 종합적으로 고려하고 관리함으로써 건설 산업에서 BIM의 성공적인 도입과 활용을 촉진할 수 있을 것이다. 연구 결과는 건설 분야에서 BIM 기술의 활성화를 위한 구체적인 방향성을 제공하며, 관련 정책 수립 및 실행에 유용한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.
