Abstract:
This research aims to analyze the readiness of the construction industry in Thailand for the development and formulation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) innovation from a public policy and strategic management perspective. The study examines the opportunities for policy formulation and implementation in the government sector, drawing on successful examples from developed countries, and aims to develop policy and implementation guidelines for stakeholders in the construction industry. The findings reveal that Thailand's construction industry is moderately prepared, with limitations in skilled personnel and government support. Successful adoption of BIM in developed countries shows strong government support, standardization, and continuous personnel training as key factors for success. The study’s recommendations include promoting training and skill development, enhancing government support, studying international case studies, developing support systems and tools, fostering collaboration and communication, and managing change. The adoption of BIM in the government sector can increase efficiency and improve the success of construction projects in Thailand
