Assessing the development of the Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology in companies operating in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) market is one way of ensuring that progress continues. The way companies deal with technology has a significant impact on its diffusion and implementation. Given this context, this study seeks to assess the level of BIM maturity of companies in the AEC sector operating in Belo Horizonte/MG and the metropolitan region, allowing them to associate and compare their progress with other companies. Another aspect of the analysis is related to the factors hindering implementation, checking which are the critical points in the market in order to analyse whether the strategic decisions to use BIM are really taking effect. In addition to these two factors, the methods that improve the scope and use of BIM technologies in companies in the AEC sector are presented. The research approach was a quantitative descriptive survey, which enabled a brief explanation of the methodology to be drawn up and its inclusion in the Brazilian market to be assessed. By drawing up a questionnaire and checking the responses, it was possible to assess the level of maturity of the companies in relation to the adoption of BIM, in terms of knowledge, applications and the main difficulties. It was possible to conclude that the absolute majority of companies have knowledge of the methodology, but this factor is not reflected in its use. Despite their knowledge, implementation is still unsatisfactory in terms of the level of maturity they consider they have reached. Many companies say they are aware of BIM, but do not apply it or make full use of its benefits. The main obstacle to this scenario was the lack of working partners who are already using the methodology in their projects, in order to facilitate an exchange of information and practical knowledge. In addition, it was noted that the key factor for this change to occur is the training and qualification of people to work in a market that depends on the industrialisation of construction processes.
