Abstract

This dissertation explores the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in risk management during the planning and design stages of construction projects in Singapore. It investigates the effectiveness of BIM as a risk management tool, current adoption situation, and the barriers that professionals encounter. This study attempts to give a complete examination of BIM's capabilities in improving project outcomes by eliminating risks such as cost overruns, delays, and safety errors using quantitative research, including surveys of construction professionals.
The findings indicate that, while BIM is highly regarded for its ability to increase risk detection, coordination, and overall project efficiency, its adoption is challenged by issues such as high initial costs, the requirement for considerable training, and unwillingness to technological change by stakeholders. The study provides recommendations for improving the efficacy of BIM in risk management, highlighting the importance of thorough training, improved stakeholder participation, and government support for BIM adoption. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing insights into the strategic advantages of BIM, which will help stakeholders and policymakers improve the resilience and efficiency of Singapore's construction sector.
