Abstract: | The aim of this article is to enhance the understanding of how design companies perceive
the benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies application. BIM is recognized in
the literature as a (potentially) powerful driver leading the construction sector towards sustainability.
However, for design companies, the choice to invest in BIM technologies is basically an economic
one. Specifically, a design company assesses economic benefits and efficiency improvements thanks
to the application of BIM technologies. The article discusses the return on investments (ROI) in BIM
technologies and reviews ROI calculation methodologies proposed by other authors. In order to
evaluate BIM return on investment correctly practical ROI calculations are carried out. Appropriate
methods, together with the relevant variables for ROI calculation, are developed. The study allows
for adjusting the calculation method making it more accurate and understandable using the Autodesk
Revit based ROI calculation of the first year. |
