Thus, both opportunities and risks appeal to exist in BIM implementation. In the Singapore context, a top-down approach has been used in driving BIM implementation. The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has been playing a dominant role and made much effort to promote BIM. Among which, the most important regulation was a five-year BIM adoption roadmap. Specifically, all new building projects (both private and public) that have gross floor areas (GFAs) of greater than 20,000 m\({}^{2}\) must submit their architectural plans in BIM format for regulatory approvals since July 2013 and submit their structural and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) plans in BIM format since July 2014. Eventually, all new building projects with GFAs of 5000 m\({}^{2}\) and above are mandated to submit their building plans in BIM format, which came into force in July 2015 [10]. In the meantime, the local construction value chain has been encouraged to work collaboratively, with part of implementation cost being subsidized [11]. The local government has also drafted the BIM Particular Conditions to guide the local construction industry to address the procedures of digital data processing, roles and responsibilities, intellectual property rights, each party' extent of reliance on three-dimensional (3D) models, and contractual priority. Consequently, the overall BIM adoption rate had improved from 20% in 2009 to 65% in 2014; such implementation, however, tended to be fragmented BIM uses in individual parties, rather than based on project-wide collaboration [12]. In addition, the building contracts in Singapore are still developed on the basis of the traditional contractual framework that prohibits collective benefits and encourages individualism. When problems occur, such a contractual structure would easily thrust project participants into adversarial positions [13; 14]. Overall, most practitioners are conservative to change. The specific purposes of this study are to (1) identify critical hindrances to BIM implementation in the Singapore construction industry, (2) investigate interrelationships among the hindrances, and (3) identify managerial strategies for reducing these hindrances. Given that the BIM submissions policy in new building projects in Singapore is mandatory, the local practitioners have to be ready for moving towards full BIM implementation and gain an in-depth understanding of what really hinders their BIM implementation and how to reduce such hindrances. Although many studies have investigated BIM implementation in the global construction industry, no studies have been done so far to comprehensively study the hindrances to BIM implementation in Singapore as the present study does. Also, few studies have attempted to investigate the relationships among the critical hindrances and accordingly build a conceptual framework. The Economic Strategies Committee (ESC) of Singapore has advocated that the local economy, especially labor-intensive industries, should improve work efficiency to maintain competitiveness [15]. Thus, the planning, design, construction, and management of building projects have a critical implication. The managerial strategies identified in this study can help the local industry players eliminate the critical hindrances' negative influence to enhance BIM implementation. Although this study focuses on building projects in Singapore, overseas practitioners may use the identified hindrances to prepare their own hindrances and follow the research method to formulate their strategies. Thus, this study may contribute to the existing literature related to BIM implementation.
