Abstract:
Building Information Modelling being a design and construction tool is a three dimensional (3D) object-oriented model with embedded information. It is a three-dimensional module of a building representation in which all the elements that are comprised in the buildings are considered as "objects" connected to each other and represented in digitalized computer-aided design models. This study therefore attempts to discuss the practice, problems and prospects of Build. It also seeks to ascertain the extent BIM as a tool for design and construction, have been in use in Anambra state for the past decade. Secondary information used in the study were drawn from existing literature. Accordingly, the study achored on the Theory of Diffusion of Innovation which was propounded by E.M. Roger in 1962. The study reviewed that effective design and construction of building projects using BIM tool reduces error and saves time of operation; stores all related data of the building in united, consistent and quickly reachable record; aids accessibility of data; facilitates design and analysis. While highlighting plausible prospects, the researchers recommends that proper adoption of BIM tool for design and construction of building projects in Anambra State for effective change in the way building operations are conceived, designed, communicated and constructed.
