Türk inşaat sektöründe yapı bilgi modellemesi (YBM) uygulamalarının yaygınlığı ve uygulamalardaki başarı düzeyleri üzerine bir inceleme

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has emerged as a modern tool that can solve many challenges in the construction industry. Many companies in the construction sector have seen BIM as a modern tool and process, but for some firms, the use of BIM has generated some set of question: what is BIM? Is BIM a tool or a process? Which types and sizes of firms can benefit from the BIM? What is the effect of Building Information Modelling (BIM) on project delivery in terms of the key criteria of project success; cost, quality and time? These questions form part of the bases of this Master's thesis. The main aim of this Master's thesis is to explore the effect of Building Information Modelling (BIM) on the delivery of construction projects in Turkey in terms of the key criteria for project success, cost, quality and time. This study examined the Turkish construction firms that could be included in the group of early adopters and practitioners of BIM and investigated the effects of their performance in terms of cost, delivery time and quality in the years following the adoption of BIM practices by their firms. Then again, an investigation of the extent of the applications of the BIM in the Turkish construction sector was explored. Lastly, for the last ten years, the construction projects implemented by the BIM applications were also examined. The data was collected through interviews from Building Information Modeling researchers and Building Information Modeling experts in Turkish Construction Sector who are the early adopters of Building Information Modeling. The findings of the research show that; there are successful projects executed via Building Information Modeling with a lot of impacts despite the adoption challenges of Building Information Modeling.
