Recently, the introduction and spread of BIM technology has been actively promoted at the domestic level and abroad. However, the BIM adoption and diffusion rate in the whole construction industry has been slower than expected, this is because they applied to construction projects in a way that does not meet the basic objective of BIM adoption. The objective of this paper is to derive a BIM adoption strategy that can provide benefits and efficiency from the design phase, by analyzing issues related to design errors identified in two real world projects based on the 2D to BIM conversion process. Types of issues, type distribution, and degree of BIM contribution to find issues were analyzed in a quantitative way, and then a BIM adoption strategy was derived. As a result, this paper identified that there obviously exists a limit in the 2D to BIM conversion process by repeating the problems that occur in the traditional 2D design process. Therefore, the authors of this paper insist that the design firms should adopt BIM-based design processes, fully, to get financial benefits as well as to improve the design quality.
