Overview and problems of BIM implementation in Japan

Takashi KANETA, Shuzo FURUSAKA, Nisi DENG

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2017, Volume 4, Issue 2, Pages 146-155 doi: 10.15302/J-FEM-2017007

Abstract: This paper aims to overview Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementation and problems of BIM implementation in Japan. First, BIM implementation guidelines and pilot projects are introduced. Then, some popular BIM software together with typical implementation cases are provided. BIM implementation in Japan is not always encouraged via a top-down consensus in architectural firms and general contractors, as the client and architects can reduce the project risk inherent in design and drawings by transferring these tasks to a general contractor. The paper finally discusses the problems in project management to present a strategy to develop a new version of BIM that will provide value to all of the stakeholders of a project.
