Abstract
Dette speciale undersøger, hvordan entreprenørvirksomheder i Danmark anvender Building Information Modelling (BIM), hvilke samarbejdsrammer de benytter, og hvilke barrierer der hæmmer en bredere implementering. Undersøgelsesdesignet omfatter en litteraturgennemgang om BIM i entreprenørleddet og om samarbejdsrammer til digital koordinering, efterfulgt af semistrukturerede interviews med BIM-koordinatorer og projektledere i tre af Danmarks største entreprenører. På baggrund af disse data vurderes BIM-brug på tværs af byggeprocessens hovedområder og det nuværende samarbejdsniveau. Resultaterne peger på et gennemsnitligt til godt anvendelsesniveau, hvor samarbejde i høj grad styres via danske ICT-erklæringsaftaler. Samtidig identificerer studiet tre centrale faktorer, der begrænser en mere omfattende BIM-implementering. Specialet tilstræber høj validitet og reliabilitet og giver et overblik, der kan fungere som afsæt for videre, mere dybdegående studier.
This thesis investigates how contracting companies in Denmark use Building Information Modelling (BIM), the collaboration frameworks they rely on, and the challenges that limit wider adoption. The research begins with a literature review on BIM in the contractor context and on collaboration frameworks for digital coordination, followed by semi-structured interviews with BIM coordinators and project managers at three of the country’s largest contractors. Based on these data, the study assesses BIM use across key areas of the construction process and the current level of collaboration. Findings indicate an average to good level of BIM involvement, with collaboration largely managed through Danish ICT declaration agreements. The research also identifies three principal factors that hinder deeper BIM implementation. The study aims for high validity and reliability and provides a baseline for future, more in-depth investigations.
