Abstract
This study explored the roles of Information and Communication Technology knowledge of construction professionals in the adoption of Building Information Modeling. It is a mixed research study where questionnaires were distributed to respondents that interfaced with Building Information Modeling. The SPSS software was used for the data analysis and the result of the analysis shows that it is important for professionals to have ICT knowledge to properly fit into the adoption of BIM (mean 5.18>3.00, RII 86.27). The slow pace of ICT knowledge of professionals may have affected BIM adoption. Infrastructure issues, cost of software, staff training, and site location have affected the adoption of ICT and have a significant effect on BIM adoption. Therefore, this study recommends that ICT knowledge should be continuously encouraged for professionals. This can be done during workshops organized by the respective professional bodies while the professionals will be encouraged to practice them in their daily works.
