Abstract: Jordan construction industry experience challenges that reduce the number of construction industry organizations to121organization in 2016 compared to 148 in 2015 based on the Central Bank of Jordan annual report. According to the literature the main causes identified by researchers include poor design, poor scheduling and planning and the fragmental nature of the industry. To address these challenges, the adopting of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is proposed. This study presents a strategic plan to adopt BIM by the private sector of the Jordan construction industry. Through wide and comprehensive survey (quantitative approach) the findings shows that the adoption of BIM in the Jordanian private construction section is subjected to many factors such as the top management support, spreading awareness by the construction associations and governmental national BIM training centres.
