BIM is reshaping industry practice worldwide - Focus on United Kingsdom & Ireland

Dodge Data & Analytics report provides an in-depth analysis of the digital transformation in the design and construction industry in Scandinavia, with a particular focus on Building Information Modeling (BIM).

To help practitioners better understand the specific dynamics of how technology is being deployed in their region, Dodge and Autodesk have created a series of SmartMarket Insight reports specifically about each region’s findings. This report reveals that 66 out of 80 respondents from this region are BIM users, with about half currently using BIM on 50% or more of their projects, and this is expected to grow to 82% in the next two to three years. The report highlights the high use of Common Data Environments (CDE) in the UK and Ireland, with 95% of respondents using them to exchange data. Additionally, designers and contractors in this region report significant benefits from BIM, including improved team collaboration, better project forecasting, and increased recognition as industry leaders. The study also notes that the UK and Ireland are ahead in adopting emerging technologies like digital twins and design for manufacturing and assembly.
