Abstract
The study explores the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in EEC specifically issues
with its application and advantages that can obtained from its utilization. The study engaged
concerned BIM trained staffs for survey across different sectors within corporation which needs
to achieved such key indicators as BIM maturity, staff numbers technology implementation
assessment, project delivery approaches, and organizational performance. The research revealed
that, despite information technology infrastructure usage and documentation capability strengths
characterized by EEC as the company asset appreciated, most of hardware infrastructures are
inefficiencies and outdated technology. Besides, the company lacks of training for employee and
has no mitigation risk management on basis of new technology adoption in addition to absence
of leadership development noted. Key sectorial conclusions discovered are the management
strengths in quality and time schedule but the absence of control of cost and safety procedure,
required effective systems for controlling data, required leadership and financial control. The
study has also addresses the necessity for specifically targeted interventions to fill up BIM
implementation gaps through formal training and development of the workforce, investment in
digital technology, and improved reward and leadership systems. Finally, the author suggest that,
a proper reaction towards the acceptance of BIM toward training and developing the workforce,
investing in infrastructure, and managing risks will give rise to optimal project efficiency and
extensive implementation in EEC
