#### 4.3.2 Interviewees' Feedback
That showed that their system is still inadequate in adapting to client's needs. The cost of the software especially to small organizations is seen as a barrier, as well. The interviewee lamented the skill shortage in the construction sector currently for BIM professionals. That seems to be the trend currently: that large organizations are the ones keen to invest in new technologies. File formatswere stated as a huge challenge when sharing data. The interviewee argued that interoperability due to a lack of standardised file formats, incompatibility and the unstructured nature of data create a challenge for the industry as a whole. However, the interviewee recommended that organizations could work toward s an open standard format such as the IFC, because currently, it is the only standard format on offer. * C/M BIM-I (2): In Question 5, the interviewee stated that the barriers and challenges of mobile/cloud BIM technology use in construction activities were many. The interviewee mentioned the high cost of the technology and change resistance by project teams to new technology usage as the major ones. The interviewee felt that people sometimes can resist change if it is not managed appropriately, especially with new technology. The interviewee said that could be overcome with support through the right training to successfully implement it. The interviewee also viewed applications of mobile/cloud BIM technology as a system with less tools that are harder to navigate. That is, however, not supported by the research. However, the interviewee recommended that there was a need to make them simpler or user friendly, which could help users of the new technology learn it quickly to appreciate the benefits it promises. * C/M BIM-I (3): In Question 5, the interviewee posited that the barriers and challenges for mobile/cloud BIM technology use in construction site activities were the high costs associated with the new technology. The interviewee recommended the use of uniform file formats and a common data environment in exchanging information across firewalls. The interviewee reiterated the willingness to adapt (culture change resistance). * C/M BIM-I (4): For Question 5, the interviewee stated that the challenges and barriers of mobile/cloud BIM use in construction activities was the lack of knowledge of the new technology. The interviewee believed that cultural change was needed to overcome negativity with that new technology. Therefore, the interviewee suggested that could be overcome by providing the right training. In addition, the interviewee stated that finding the appropriate software applications to use can be a challenge, but thoroughly researching the right operating systems can help. * C/M BIM-I (5): For Question 5, the interviewee pointed out one of the barriers as the lack of awareness about mobile/cloud BIM benefits by the project teams. The interviewee lamented about the skills' shortage besetting the construction industry as a whole. The interviewee also remarked that minimal relevant training is offered to professionals due to less investment in training of project teams. The interviewee thought the government lacked in the monitoring of mobile/cloud BIM technology use, which means each one is doing more or less what has been ordered. Furthermore, the interviewee considered challenges such as the need to get site teams on-board about mobile/cloud BIM technology. The interviewee claimed that project teams were working in silos. That could possibly be overcome by working together collaboratively between stakeholders. The interviewee interpreted the ratio of BIM technology:BM people as 20:80 with the emphasis of putting more resources toward the people aspect of BIM, thus investing in their training. It is important to note that this technology:people ratio cannot be verified by the literature. Response to Question 6: What recommendations do you have for the adoption of mobile/cloud BIM technology for managing construction activities?
