Abstract :

Recently, AEC companies in Syria have realized the importance of adopting BIM in their system, especially in the next phase of reconstruction in Syria. However, due to the recent experience, the BIM process is still in its early stages and needs a lot of efforts to overcome the technical and administrative obstacles in front of it. The research methodology is based on analyzing models of organizational structures for AEC companies operating with BIM technology around the world, and studying their strengths and deficiencies in order to extract the most important factors for improving the performance of BIM in the Syrian construction industry companies. The study concluded with proposing a framework for the integration of BIM models in the structure of AEC companies, and companies that do not use BIM or that operate partially according to BIM can adopt it in developing their administrative structure in accordance with their own characteristics and the requirements of applying BIM in them.
