For the past decade, the challenges to the effective and efficient utilization of building information modelling (BIM) processes, technologies and standards across the architectural engineering construction (AEC) industry have been well-documented, with most still remaining significant and pertinent today. The lack of understanding of the role of industry culture and mindsets within existing studies of the barriers to BIM adoption is a deficiency in furthering an understanding of successful applications of BIM. This research study examines the issues related to the main implementation challenges of BIM within the Chinese AEC industry, with a particular focus on industry perceptions. The methodology for this paper utilizes an online survey and statistical analysis. The results show that China's adoption of BIM is foremost affected by two areas; the first being the attitudes of key stakeholders and secondly the related obstacles of project development. The result of this simple study aims to contribute towards extending academic and industry discussions surrounding the influence that industry culture and mind-sets have on BIM adoption.
