What’s preventing mass acceptance?
1. Industry barriers for the AEC community.Design-build agreements need to be merged into a single unified standard.
Traditional limits of project liability need to be addressed.
Internal documentation standards will be replaced by mandated industry standards from downstream stakeholders.
2. Cultural barriers for firms.
Training - Are Pilot Projects a good start? Just in time training? Mentoring?
Discipline Coordination - What's available today?
Multi-User Access - How is work being done?
Licensing - Standalone or Network licensing? Who does Subscription benefit?
Hardware - Will current networks, workstations and output devices support BIM?
3. Technical Barriers for the Software Industry.
Interoperability. Specifically CAD software developers, including Autodesk, Bentley, and Graphisoft, need to establish new collaborative partnerships and develop consistent, reliable methods for sharing 2D and 3D data among their programs.
Industry Foundation Class (IFC) standards need to be established for firms and disciplines to collaborate effectively. These are currently being developed by the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI).
In 2005 the IAI launched a major rebranding referring to IFC-enabled BIM interoperability as "Building Smart".

Groups like the AIA, AGC(Associated General Contractors), insurance providers and client groups such as CURT(Construction Users Roundtable need to merge their competing ageements into a single, unified standard.
OmniClass is another new classification system for the AEC industry that is being driven by the IAI and CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) to classify objects, and is intended to be used as the basis for storing, organizing, integrating, retrieving and sharing data throughout a buildings lifecycle.
CORENET stands for COnstruction and Real Estate NETwork. It is a major IT (Information Technology) initiative that was launched in 1995 by Singapore's Ministry of National Development, to "propel the construction and real estate sector into the new millennium" by re-engineering the business processes with state-of-the-art IT to achieve a quantum leap in turnaround time, productivity and quality.
