Analysis demonstrates improved data interoperability and collaboration in BIM, highlighting challenges in the construction industry.
This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of ISO 16739-1:2024 (Industry Foundation Classes, IFC) within the context of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. By addressing six fundamental characteristics-key components, policy and regulatory impact, future outlook, benefits, challenges, and implementations-it evaluates the standard's role in enhancing data interoperability, efficiency, and collaboration. The findings highlight ISO 16739-1:2024’s capacity to unify construction processes, improve decision-making, and promote sustainable practices through standardized data exchange. However, technical challenges, training requirements, and resistance to change remain barriers to its widespread adoption. Using case studies and systematic methodologies, this research emphasizes the standard’s transformative potential and offers actionable recommendations to address implementation challenges. This study contributes significantly to academic literature and industry by bridging gaps in data sharing and fostering innovation in construction project management.
