This paper focuses on the Italian market where surveys, interviews, and a workshop were conducted, and then a diagnosis was made on the results obtained. Results show that technological innovation on BIM tools cannot be a stand-alone action to reach a full digitalization of the renovation sector, but it shall be supported by a major awareness of the actors involved, improved skills, and competences, as well as an important change of approach in the current construction practice.11464895enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessjournal article10.3390/buildings9090200BIMDigitalizationH2020BarriersStakeholdersRenovationBIMDigitalizationH2020BarriersStakeholdersRenovationCivil and Structural EngineeringArchitectureBuilding and ConstructionProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/820773/EU/Building Information Modelling based tools & technologies for fast and efficient RENovation of residential buildings/BIM4RENinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/820773/EU/Building Information Modelling based tools & technologies for fast and efficient RENovation of residential buildings/BIM4RENFunding InfoThis project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement n. 820773.
