However, technical and organizational barriers exist, which limit the widespread adoption of BIM. This study therefore employed two large-scale, online surveys to analyze the technical and organizational aspects of BIM implementation in lighting design. The results show that, in addition to technical barriers, successful BIM implementation hinges on knowledge, acceptance, and organizational learning ability. Training, internal processes and a supportive corporate culture are crucial for the effective use of new workflows. Fragmented planning processes and asynchronous participation reinforce technical limitations. To fully realize the potential of BIM, an integrated approach combining technological innovations with organizational learning and collaborative structures is essential. Key solutions include modular, interoperable BIM systems, open interfaces, and standardized data structures.
