Assessment of limitations of BIM implementation in residential construction
Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly being implemented both in the World and in Lithuania. The benefits provided by BIM promise a much more efficient and smoother construction process and suggest that the construction market of the future will continue to develop based on the BIM methodology. However, both the implementation and development of BIM can face some challenges, obstacles and limitations for construction market participants that occur with the use of BIM and that can slow down the smooth implementation of a project. This paper examines the difficulties of BIM in the implementation and use phase. During the research, the literature sources were analysed describing the implementation of BIM in the development of residential and other projects. The advantages and challenges of BIM described by the authors were analysed, and the emerging problems were highlighted. The literature sources analysed and found BIM limitations were grouped according to the most frequently mentioned.

BIM įdiegimo apribojimų gyvenamojoje statyboje vertinimas
Santrauka
Statinio informacinis modeliavimas (angl. Building Information Modelling, BIM) vis plačiau diegiamas tiek pasaulyje, tiek Lietuvoje. BIM teikiami privalumai žada daug efektyvesnį bei sklandesnį statybų procesą ir verčia manyti, kad ateities statybų rinka toliau vystysis pagal BIM metodologiją. Tačiau BIM įgyvendinimas ir vystymas statybų rinkos dalyviams gali suketi tam tikrų iššūkių, kliūčių ir apribojimų, kurių pasitaiko naudojant BIM ir kurie gali pristabdyti sklandų projekto įgyvendinimą. Šiame straipsnyje tiriami BIM sunkumai, pasitaikantys įgyvendinimo ir naudojimo etapuose. Tyrimo metu buvo analizuojami literatūros šaltiniai, aprašantys BIM įgyvendinimą vystant gyvenamosios ir kitos paskirties projektus, analizuojami autorių aprašyti BIM privalumai ir iššūkiai, išryškinamos atsirandančios problemos. Išanalizavus literatūros šaltinius rasti BIM apribojimai sugrupuoti pagal dažniausiai paminėtus.
Reikšminiai žodžiai: BIM, gyvenamoji statyba, BIM apribojimai, BIM privalumai, BIM įgyvendinimas.
