AB  - Jordan construction industry experience challenges that reduce the number of construction industry
organizations to121organization in 2016 compared to 148 in 2015 based on the Central Bank of Jordan annual
report. According to the literature the main causes identified by researchers include poor design, poor
scheduling and planning and the fragmental nature of the industry. To address these challenges, the adopting
of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is proposed. This study presents a strategic plan to adopt BIM by
the private sector of the Jordan construction industry. Through wide and comprehensive survey (quantitative
approach) the findings shows that the adoption of BIM in the Jordanian private construction section is subjected
to many factors such as the top management support, spreading awareness by the construction associations and
governmental national BIM training centres.
