Digitalization in Engineering Firms: The Role and Impact of Building Information Modeling on Productivity

In recent decades, digitalization has become increasingly important in the construction industry. Building Information Modeling (BIM), a digital planning method, isbecoming increasingly important in the infrastructure sector. Infrastructure planning implementation is complex, so engineering firms still use conventional planning. Thisstudy sheds light on the influence of Building Information Modelling (BIM) on increasing productivity in the construction industry. Through a combination of qualitativeinterviews and quantitative data analysis, an in-depth understanding of the implementation processes, challenges and benefits of BIM was developed. Particular focus wasplaced on identifying components of success for the effective implementation of BIM in infrastructure engineering firms. The results show that BIM contributes significantlyto increasing efficiency by improving the accuracy of project planning, facilitating communication between project participants and reducing the error rate in the executionphase. The study emphasises the need for a clear strategy and training to fully exploit the potential of BIM and provides valuable insights for companies planning to implementBIM.
