Objectives: The study on Building Information Modeling (BIM) seeks to elucidate its effectiveness and significance in enhancing the interior design process. It aims to underscore its role in building development, as well as address challenges hindering collaboration between interior designers and architects.
Methods: A comparative case study employed personal interviews with a random sample of workers in Amman's engineering consulting companies. The study tool's validity and reliability were pre-tested, and an observation tool gauged the impact of using (BIM) in the design process, exploring the applied method and users' attitudes toward its adoption.
Results: Applying (BIM) in Jordan needs to increase the interest of engineering offices and specialists, where it shows its effectiveness in promoting team spirit and mutual assistance, in addition to sharing the responsibility of design, as it offers its role in saving money and managing time and resources. This is done through the use of alternative programs such as Revit, despite the great challenge of entering the field of education and working as an alternative to the AutoCAD program, which is already widely circulated.
Conclusions: The study suggests fostering stronger collaboration between interior design and architecture disciplines in Jordanian universities. Emphasis should be placed on training individuals in BIM technology and its programs, integrating them into university and company courses. It highlights the importance of engaging engineers' associations and specialized civil institutions, along with raising awareness and promoting BIM technology for a more effective partnership in the labor market.
