Abstract

The research team behind this project in Gaza Strip, Palestine set out to find and assess the possible advantages of building
information modeling (BIM) in the AEC sector. A total of 270 construction industry experts were polled using a
questionnaire. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used for data analysis. The results showed that the four main
advantages of building information modeling (BIM) may be broken down into the following: (i) a more efficient
construction process; (ii) better design and quality; and (iv) assistance with decision-making. Among the four primary
components of building information modeling (BIM), the results highlight the following as the most significant individual
benefits: better building management and operation; better control of whole life cycle costs; fewer change orders; better
coordination between contract parties; better communication; better safety; better quality; and an improved decision-
making process. Engineers and professionals in the Gaza Strip are strongly encouraged to use building information
modeling (BIM) when planning and executing infrastructure and building projects. This will greatly enhance the projects'
efficiency, quality, effectiveness, and productivity. The advantages of building information modeling (BIM) in the Gaza
Strip construction sector are explored in this research. Given the paucity of research in this field, it adds to what is already
known about the value of building information modeling (BIM) and how to convince construction companies in developing
nations of its merits.
