“…The relative advantage of BIM is defined as the degree to which BIM technology can bring greater benefits to an organization compared to using the existing technology (Rogers, 1995). Compared with objectoriented computer-aided design techniques used in traditional engineering projects, BIM is more intelligent and interoperable and has demonstrated significant technical progress in virtual construction and collaborative design (Lai et al, 2019;Martínez-Carricondo et al, 2020). In addition, BIM can be used to simulate, analyse, and optimize the schedule, facilities, pipelines, energy consumption, etc.…”

The outbreak of COVID-19 has introduced critical challenges in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry; to address these challenges, building information modelling (BIM) can be applied as a project management tool to help enhance collaboration among stakeholders and improve business performance. Amidst the COVID-19 crisis, there is a greater need to explore and implement effective strategies to promote a wider adoption of BIM. However, increasing the willingness of project participants to adopt BIM through event management has not received much attention. Therefore, based on event system theory and innovation diffusion theory, we developed a model to explore the influence of the COVID-19 crisis on the willingness of AEC participants to adopt BIM. Structural equation modelling was performed to test the hypotheses. The results demonstrate that the intention of the AEC project participants to adopt BIM is directly driven by the COVID-19 event criticality and perceived usefulness of BIM. Moreover, the event criticality and BIM technical features (relative advantage, compatibility, and complexity) can indirectly affect this intention, through the perceived usefulness. However, the impact of event disruption and novelty on the BIM adoption intention is not significant. Several recommendations are provided to improve the BIM adoption intention of AEC participants during and after the pandemic.

“…Interoperability: Throughout the interactive and dynamic project process, the 3D common model must be on a controllable platform (Lai et al, 2019). Moreover, a contractually binding protocol regarding the production, exchange, share, approval, publication and certification of data in the project process should be established (Eastman et al, 2010;Siemens, 2017;Schapke et al, 2018).…”

“…Furthermore, these risks may turn into disputes due to some deficiencies in the contracting phase (Dougherty, 2015). The main issues that can pose these risks are: identifying BIM roles and stakeholders responsible for them (Arensman and Ozbek, 2012;Bosch-Sijtsema et al, 2017;Ussing et al, 2016); IPR (intellectual property rights) in the common information platform (Arshad et al, 2019;Manderson et al, 2015;Solihin and Eastman, 2015), software compatibility (Bynum et al 2013;McAdam, 2010;Succar, 2010); data security (Chien et al, 2014;Dougherty, 2015;Eschenbruch and Bodden, 2018); and digital data storage (Bakhary et al 2015;Lai et al, 2019). Preparation of a clear and detailed contract can minimize disputes in the project life-cycle (Sardroud et al, 2018).…”

In multi-participant BIM-based construction projects (BbCP), the organization of inter-stakeholder relationships has become challenging. The emerging BIM roles and responsibilities that are not clearly defined as a standard, complicate this process further. Legal regulations and contracts prepared according to traditional construction methods are insufficient to identify these new and complex relationships. This uncertainty hinders the spread of BIM-integrated projects, causing stakeholders to have legal concerns about BIM-based projects. Within the scope of this research, the legal concerns related with BIM-based projects and critical points to be considered in the contract preparation phase were determined through literature review, case law research, first and second stage interviews and a questionnaire survey. 25 main and 32 sub-critical points were identified and recommended to be considered in the contract phase were categorized under 9 headings (i.e., administrative decisions, analysis, legal issues, allocation of risks and responsibilities, intellectual property rights (IPR), information management, interoperability, data security and the operation phase). As an outcome, this paper proposes a preliminary checklist template that can be used as an input to the contract phase of BbCP. With the support of checklist, measures can be taken at the contract stage for potential legal problems that may occur in the project life-cycle. The checklist can serve as a starting point for legislators and regulators to ensure the compatibility of traditional construction contracts with new technologies. Finally, addressing legal issues in BbCP can alleviate stakeholders’ concerns and lead to the spread of BbCP in the construction industry.

“…However, with the popularization and application of prefabricated buildings in practice, it is increasingly found that the low degree of informatization in the construction industry chain is one of the prominent problems impeding the application efficiency of prefabrication [6,7]. Although some efforts have been made to facilitate information exchange through various emerging technologies (e.g., building information model (BIM) [8,9], radio frequency identification technology (RFID) [10,11],…”

At present, the low degree of informatization in the construction industry chain is one of the prominent problems impeding the application efficiency of prefabrication. To break through the bottleneck of information integration and interaction in the construction process of prefabricated buildings, this paper proposes a conceptual framework of an Intelligent Construction System for Prefabricated Buildings based on the Internet of Things (ICSPB-IoT) according to the needs of government supervision departments, contractors and owners. Then this paper describes the formation of the “information network” from “information flow”, based on which the operating mechanism of the ICSPB-IoT is discussed using the method of system engineering analysis. Finally, the proposed ICSPB-IoT is graded into different implementation levels according to the degree of intelligence of the Internet of Things information, and the implementation path is proposed for construction enterprises with different levels of digitalization. The results show that the ICSPB-IoT provides cross-phase, cross-organizational information interaction for government supervision departments, contractors and owners to improve the efficiency of communication and collaboration between them. This paper also provides decision-making support for the design, layout and implementation of the Internet of Things for prefabrication construction enterprises.
