Innovation has long been recognized as a valuable contributor to national economic growth, through encouraging competitiveness, improving living standards, and as the heart of our modern knowledge-based economy. Innovation can also be defined as the adoption or creation of new knowledge to improve the value of services, products or processes in a social system. Architectural and engineering design must be dynamic to keep pace with changes and respond to the continuously evolving technological, social and economic challenges which offer exciting and diverse opportunities. Building information modeling (BIM) is a computer technology derived from the construction and facility design industry which is now being increasingly adopted to implement design projects in many countries.
The presentation presents summaries of two studies from last year’s study period, discussing BIM adoption strategies for the Thai architectural and engineering design industry. The study objective was to develop a simulation model by analyzing the companies’ historical data using the system dynamics approach to capture the dynamic behaviors of BIM adoption. This study defines and compares policies for the adoption of BIM using the company case study. The results highlight the optimum policy for BIM adoption to achieve efficient and effective implementation in Thailand.
