Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 營建管理研究所在職專班 === 104 === Recently, the Building Information Modeling (BIM) technique has been quickly developed and has received much attention in the construction industry. Some government agencies in Taiwan aggressively implement BIM technique in public construction works to improve works’ quality and efficiency. Therefore, private construction sectors in Taiwan step into implementing BIM technique followed by the government. Until now, the status quo of implementing BIM technique in construction works in Taiwan is ambiguous. Most of policies and researches related to BIM in Taiwan are based on the information outside the country. Therefore, it is necessary to construct such the fundamental information such as perception on BIM implementation from the industry, the status of implementing BIM technique in the industry and the anticipated benefits and encountered problems under implementing BIM technique. Using developed questionnaires based on literature reviews, this study conducted two surveys to obtain the responses from the construction development firms, architects, construction consultant firms and constructors. This study has performed basic statistical analyses on obtained 227 responses in the first survey and 172 responses in the second survey, and has compared the results with similar researches in Taiwan and other countries. This study concluded main findings organized as follows. (1) BIM technique has been implemented most in architecture projects but the number of projects is still small. This information shows that Taiwan is in the start-up phase of implementing BIM technique. (2) The benefits, including acquiring new client and business, obtaining better project outcomes and reducing the construction conflicts due to documents errors and omissions, from implementing BIM technique are similar to the outcomes based on other countries. (3) Most of the responses recognized that the most critical problems of implementing BIM technique are insufficient of BIM professionals, insufficient of BIM experience and high cost of hardware and software in implementing BIM technique. (4) The private sectors will invest in BIM related trainings to increase their BIM implementation rate and further imporove the performance of BIM applications. In sum, the information concluded in this study would be a basis for the government and the private sector to evaluate BIM implementation in the future.
