      abstract = {This work assessed the readiness of professionals for the adoption of Building Information Modeling in Nigeria. 350 questionnaires were distributed to respondents that were carefully selected based on their knowledge of BIM while 250 were returned and used for the study. Percentage frequency, Standard deviation, and mean score SPSS were used for the analysis. The result shows that although respondents possess knowledge of BIM but their readiness was low (0.12>0.05). However, the professionals understand it involves new methods and approaches which is different from the traditional ways of operation (mean=3.91, RII = 77.20%). Therefore, this study recommends the training of professionals to further get them ready for the future.},
