Aim: This study examined the factors affecting the adaptability of Building Information Modelling by the building construction professionals in Anambra State Nigeria. Study Design: It was a survey research where questionnaires were distributed to core professionals in the Building Construction Industry. Place and Duration of the Study: The study was conducted in Anambra State, Nigeria for a period of 3 months. Methodology: A total of 84 questionnaires were administered to the respondents whereas 56copies were completed, returned and found useful, thus, giving a response rate of 67%. Data garnered were analysed and presented using mean score, percentages, relative importance index (RII), bar charts and pie charts. Results: The study found that the level of BIM awareness among building construction professionals in the study area was 93%. The study revealed that 54% of the BIM users in the study area are beginner and 23% are moderate users. Also, the study revealed that 69% of the construction professionals are not yet prepared to embrace BIM technologies in the study area. Conclusion: The study concluded that the level of readiness of Building Construction Industry in the study area towards embracing BIM is still poor. Therefore, it was recommended that institutional framework should be strengthened such that it can drive BIM adoption process in a systematic and participatory manner. The study further recommended that proper capacity building of the construction professionals on BIM should be pursed religiously in the study area.
