Abstract

Despite the progress made with BIM integration into the construction industries of many developed countries, its adoption remains limited in most developing countries. This study systematically reviews 56 articles using the TOE framework to identify and analyse critical barriers that impede BIM implementation within architectural design contexts. Following the PRISMA guidelines, the review categorizes these barriers into three primary dimensions: technological, organizational and environmental. The results revealed that critical technological barriers, such as the high cost of hardware and software, compatibility issues with design tools, and technical complexities in using the technology, hinder architectural innovation and visualization capabilities. Organizational barriers, including insufficient BIM-trained professionals, lack of awareness of BIM capabilities, resistance within design teams and lack of management support, significantly delay BIM integration in design studio workflows. Environmental barriers such as insufficient regulatory frameworks, lack of client demand for BIM-based project design, and weak collaboration across multidisciplinary consultants slow the adoption of digital design practices. The study underscores the interrelated characteristics of these critical barriers, which form a perpetuating cycle that limits the evolution of design practices in developing countries. Addressing these interrelated barriers is crucial for improving design creativity and integrating BIM into studio practices. Future research should examine regional variances and pedagogical strategies for overcoming the BIM adoption challenges in architectural contexts.

Abstract

The construction industry’s digital transformation demands professionals with advanced digital skills. This study assesses the digital competencies of construction students at Ghana’s technical universities, focusing on self-reported proficiency and perceived job readiness. Based on data from 271 final-year students across six institutions, the study employs a data-driven quantitative approach using a structured questionnaire and analyses through descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression. Findings reveal moderate proficiency in foundational skills like digital literacy and communication, but significant gaps in advanced areas such as cloud computing, 3D modelling, and coding. While students report high access to general digital tools, training in emerging technologies remains limited. Regression results indicate that digital literacy, planning and estimation skills, and access to training resources are key predictors of job readiness. The study highlights the need for curriculum reforms that incorporate a wider range of digital competencies aligned with Construction 4.0. It recommends enhancing hands-on learning, improving institutional support systems, and encouraging self-directed skill development. These interventions are crucial to bridging the gap between academic preparation and industry expectations, equipping graduates with the capabilities required for a digitally evolving construction sector in Ghana.
