Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a valuable and promising approach in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, which is gradually gaining acceptance by owners, architects, engineers, and contractors as an innovative process of generating and managing building data during its lifecycle. This paper aims to mark the main challenges that are faced by the adoption of BIM and the current BIM maturity level in Sudan. The most challenging issue was found to be the absence of clients demand to implement BIM in their projects. According to this study, the maturity level in AEC in Sudan was found to be Level 1.
