Sammanfattning
This research aims to study the role of digitalization and BIM technology (Building Information
Modeling) in construction and infrastructure projects, focusing on the transformation from the old
standards like BSAB to the new standard CoClass in Sweden. This research explores the communication
challenges in the construction industry and the importance of standardization to enhance effective
collaboration between stakeholders. The study will use qualitative research methodology including
interviews and literature review, to identify potential benefits and challenges of this transformation,
especially to meet the Swedish Transport Administration's requirements.
The research question examines understanding consultants' insights of these changes and their effects
on the implementation of the new standard, CoClass. The scope of this study is limited to communication
challenges linked to BIM implementation and focusing on one client, the Swedish Transport
Administration. As well as the project aims to provide insights into improving communication efficiency
in construction projects.
This study takes great care of the ethical considerations, reliability, and validity issues at each stage of
the whole research process.
The interviews results highlight different perspectives from consultants and clients and highlight the
complexity of BIM classification systems and communication processes within projects. The literature
review provides a comprehensive overview of BIM processes and classification systems like BSAB and
CoClass, which helps to understand their importance in the construction industry and opportunities,
providing valuable insights for industry stakeholders
