Dataset Description
This study integrates the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and Institutional Theory to address BIM adoption challenges in Nigeria’s construction industry. The dataset captures survey responses from 10 professionals (architects, engineers, project managers) evaluating drivers (e.g., efficiency gains, software accessibility), strategies (e.g., training, policy harmonization), and barriers (e.g., high costs, skill gaps) via Likert scales. The manuscript employs a mixed-methods approach, combining a systematic literature review (2018–2024) with expert validation through Delphi rounds. Findings highlight fragmented policies, resistance to change, and BIM’s alignment with SDG 9. The proposed framework offers actionable strategies (e.g., curriculum integration, enforcement bodies) to bridge technical, organizational, and institutional gaps, providing a roadmap for stakeholders to enhance sustainable BIM adoption in resource-constrained contexts.
