“…Navendren, et al [85] conducted a research in the UK and found out the main problems of BIM adoption and implementation from the designers' perspective to be: deployment costs, particularly for small design firms; changes to existing design methods or processes; process delays and time losses due to the creation and transfer of the BIM model to other project participants; lack of client understanding; lack of learning feedback; interoperability issues; lack of integration of the supply chain; and lack of clear national guidelines and standards. According to Criminale and Langar [86], the main obstacles for BIM implementation in the US were: time required for recruiting or training people to use BIM; cost of hiring or training people to use BIM; lack of national BIM requirements or recommendations for evaluating the use of BIM; and software interoperability [86].…”

Construction industry impacts the health and safety of its workers tremendously. This study is aimed to determine the rate of occurrence of fatal accidents after BIM implementation in Malaysia. The data used for the research was obtained from the Department of Safety and Health (DOSH) website, and it was validated by the relevant professionals through interview. This descriptive analysis was grounded in 796 fatal accidents over the period of 2010-2018. Of those accidents, 38.16% were related to fall-related, 30.39% struck-by, 17.67% caught in-between, 9.89% drowning/asphyxiation and 3.89% others. The results indicate that the types of accidents identified are similar to that of most countries in the world. The findings also revealed that the accidents had occurred because one or combination of the following: management's failure, unsafe site conditions, workers behavior, and environmental factors. Future work will concentrate on the use of BIM-based tools for job hazard identification and safety training.

“…Phase 1 (interviews and Delphi study) Thematic analysis was deemed appropriate contextualisation of capability attributes proposed from the interviews and literature (Thomas and Harden, 2008;Navendren et al, 2014). Thematic analysis allows systematic data structuring to adduce patterns relevant to the phenomenon being investigated (Creswell, 2007).…”

“…Similar methods have been applied in the exploratory phase of mixed method research (Manu, 2012). Furthermore, according to Adriaanse (2007) and Navendren et al (2014), digital technology research in construction requires such initial qualitative explorations owing to its novelty to provide sufficient context for further investigations. Interviewees comprised BIM managers, digital engineers, commercial managers and quantity surveyors with extensive industry and BIM experience.…”

“…Preliminary enquiries about major BIMenabled projects was performed through internet searches, published case studies and industry event discussions. Interview and Delphi experts were subsequently recruited with the total number of subjects commensurate with past qualitative (n = 8) and Delphi studies (n = 25/30) in BIM literature (Navendren et al, 2014;Giel and Issa, 2014). Similar methods were used to identify expert and experienced BIM professional respondents working on BIM projects, who were targeted through for random distribution of surveys both online and in CI 19,2 paper versions.…”

Building information modelling (BIM) capability and delivery success on construction projects

Purpose-In spite of emerging research on building information modelling (BIM) capability assessment, there is a general dearth of knowledge about the links between often pre-emptive capability measurement attributes and actual delivery success. More so, current studies have not considered success from the wider construction supply chain (CSC) perspective. So far, the perceived importance of capability metrics is not based on post-project evaluations of their contribution to BIM delivery success. This paper aims to identify relevant BIM capability attributes used for qualifying CSC organisations for projects and further aims to investigate their relative importance and influence on some key aspects of BIM delivery success. Design/methodology/approach-Based on heretofore validated set of BIM capability attributes from semi-structured interviews and a Delphi study, a survey of CSC firms on BIM-enabled projects was used to model the influence of BIM capability attributes on BIM delivery success. Multiple regression modelling was performed to ascertain the nature of the relationship between BIM capability attributes and the key aspects of BIM delivery success as identified from the literature. Findings-BIM staff experience and the suitability of proposed methodology prior to project commencement were identified as the most influential on BIM delivery quality, as well as delivery within schedule and on budget. Conversely, the administrative and strategic-level capacities were found as the most influential in leveraging collaboration, coordination or integration of the CSC on projects through BIM. Originality/value-This study provides a step change in prioritising BIM capability criteria based on evidence of their contribution to delivery success in key performance areas, rather than their perceived importance as capability metrics as widely practised.

“…Costs of deployment, mainly for small design firms; modifications to traditional approaches; delay in the transfer process; a lack of client comprehension; lack of learning response; interoperability problems; a lack of supply chain integration; and absence of vibrant national guidelines or standards were found to be the main issues of BIM implementation in the UK [16]. Time spent recruiting and training BIM users, the cost of hiring or training new BIM users; lack of national BIM standards; and software interoperability were discovered to be the main BIM implementation issues in the US [17].…”

BIM implementation is still low in construction, especially in developing countries. The study aims to identify the most effective strategies to improve BIM implementation in the construction industry. A quantitative approach was a means of data collection. There were no statistically significant differences in respondents’ opinions about the process of enhancing BIM implementation based on educational qualification, age bracket, or the number of BIM projects handled. However, there was based on the participants’ specialization and years of working experience. Multiple linear regression was conducted to investigate whether the strategies to improve BIM implementation in the construction industry could significantly predict the level of BIM knowledge/awareness. The findings indicate that three independent variables significantly predict the level of BIM knowledge, F (5, 61) = 8.795, p < 0.001. However, government support and national standard have an insignificant impact on the dependent variable. Also, the R2 = 0.419 depicts that the model explains 41.9% of the variance in the level of BIM knowledge. The research results have implications for enhancing BIM implementation in AEC projects and may increase industry effectiveness.
