Application of Building Information Modelling Software on Project Supervisionin Building Construction Sitesin Sokoto State

Abstract

The study determined the application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) Software on Project Supervision in Building Construction sites in Sokoto State. Three research questions guided the study. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The population for the study was 56 Building construction workers. No sampling was made because of the relatively small size of the population. Instrument for data collection was structured questionnaire. The instrument was validated by three experts. The internal consistency of the questionnaire items was determined by using Cronbach alpha reliability method and 0.86 reliability coefficient was obtained. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The study revealed that respondents agreed that BIM is impacting on collaboration, error reduction and project outcome, also building construction workers do associate advantages with using BIM in building construction project. It was recommended that Building Information Modelling approach be adopted in project workflow.
