Similarly, the professionals in developing economies such as Nigeria are expected to braise themselves with the current trend knowledge acquisition such as BIM. To ensure adequate planning for the construction industry adoption of BIM by professionals in Nigeria, it is important to determine the current level of awareness and adoption of BIM in the industry. Questionnaire survey was administered to construction industry practitioners to elicit information about their level of awareness and application of BIM. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze data collected from the survey. It has been established that the size of organization has effect on the transmission of information and knowledge from one level to another. As such the variables used in the analysis are the size of organizations‟, organizations turnover and industry professionals. Results of data analysis shows that the traditional Design-Bid-Build approach is still the most common approach and significant differences exist in the level of BIM utilization for projects among the professional group. Similarly, the design information exchange format utilized by various organizations varied based on the size and turnover of organizations. On the level of awareness and understanding of BIM, the results shows that the size of organisations influences level of awareness and understanding of BIM among respondents.en_US
