INTRODUCTION
• Recent Resurgence of the Irish Construction Industry.
• There is a need for Construction Professionals to embrace new technologies &
processes.
• Adapt out-dated, fragmented Work Methods.
• Adopt a new Collaborative approach through Building Information Technology.
• Building Information Modelling (BIM) is now seen as a core technology at a time of
global transition towards an information revolution.
• With the ever increasing adoption of new technologies SMEs will now need to provide
a service that incorporates innovative processes such as BIM

WHY DO SMEs NEED TO ADOPT BIM?
Why?
SMEs are the bulk of the
supply chain
To Sell Your Product or
Services
To provide the necessary
Information in a Structured and
Consistent Manner
Strip the waste from
current processes

CONCLUSION
Competition can arise unexpectedly from anywhere,
which means that firms can no longer be over-confident
about their market shares and their competitive positions
(Ngowi, 2001).
