The research aims to assess the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Spanish Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) market. The study, conducted by the QBIMInvest Project supported by the Universidad Europea de Madrid, surveyed 548 Spanish AEC professionals to understand the current state of BIM usage. Key findings include: - **BIM Tools Used in Design Stages**: BIM tools are primarily used in the design phase of residential buildings, with limited application in construction, operation, and maintenance stages. - **User Profile**: BIM users are predominantly architects aged 35 to 49 who are self-taught. - **Construction Stage Usage**: The use of BIM tools in the construction stage is minimal. - **Future Integration**: Professionals anticipate that it will take 3 to 5 years to fully integrate BIM into projects. - **Benefits and Challenges**: Both users and non-users agree on the importance of BIM for improving professionalism and reducing errors. However, challenges include software costs, lack of client demand, and the need for trained staff. - **Training**: A significant portion of professionals are self-taught, indicating a need for formal training programs that cover the entire BIM methodology. The study highlights the immaturity of BIM adoption in Spain, with a focus on design rather than collaborative work and full project lifecycle management. The findings underscore the need for more comprehensive training and a shift towards broader application of BIM across all stages of construction projects.The research aims to assess the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Spanish Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) market.
