Integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Internet of Things (IoT) for Smarter Technologies in Construction Project Management in Abuja, Nigeria

Abstract
The construction industry in Abuja continues to experience persistent challenges, including project delays, cost overruns, and inadequate safety performance, which significantly affect project delivery outcomes. This paper examines the use of Building Information Model (BIM) and Internet of Things (IoT) in construction project management in Abuja, Nigeria. Mixed methods with an explanatory sequential approach were used in this research work. The primary data was gathered through the use of a structured questionnaire and an advanced audit of HSE and Equipment Logs at an active construction project in Abuja. The data analysis used in the research included descriptive statistics and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) mapping. There were moderate levels of awareness among professionals (Mean=3.31). However, the logbooks exhibited significant utility of technology in terms of risk mitigation and achieved 847,861 man-hours without Lost Time Injury (LTI). Idle monitoring of IoT assets worth more than ₦1,000,000 in the form of cranes was undertaken in order to increase Return on Investment (ROI). The findings revealed that the technical infrastructure supporting IoT implementation exists among the participating firms in Abuja, although a stronger managerial and policy framework are required to maximise its benefits. The study recommends government-mandated BIM-IoT standards and usage-based maintenance protocols for construction equipment to improve project sustainability and safety metrics.

Key words: Construction, Smart Technologies, Project management, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT).
