Abstract:Building Information Modeling is transforming the architectural, engineering and construction industry worldwide. Although the potential value of BIM is becoming increasingly clear and the awareness and use of BIM is growing among actors, its widespread adoption is still hesitant. In order to increase the diffusion of BIM several countries, including Germany, have started to launch governmental initiatives that require public clients to demand BIM in public projects. Public clients are promoted as drivers for industrial change towards BIM, but yet little is known about BIM adoption of public clients on an organisation level. Hence, the aim of this study is to explore why and how public clients in the German road infrastructure sector adopt BIM and what driving forces and obstacles they face. In this way, the findings of this research contribute to gain a deeper understanding of BIM adoption of public clients and can help to develop measures to stimulate BIM adoption of public clients in the German road infrastructure sector, strengthening them in their potential role as drivers for industrial change towards BIM.
