“…They can be combined with BIM levels as shown in Table 3 with a detailed clarifying for BIM stages which illustrated in Table 4 [13] and as shown in the successive tables from Table 5 to 12 according to RIBA actions and outcomes for each stage which all referred to Ref. [12], [14].…”

Artificial intelligence, programming, and cloud computing are the focus of attention and direction for students and workers in various applications of science these days. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an example of one of these applications in the field of the construction industry. It has a great revolutionary impact on professionals' way of work, strategy of cooperation between construction parties, and business management. It is a practical approach that can manage the construction projects' life cycle activities and be used by the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction specialists (AEC) to ensure the projects' excellent quality, reduce cost, and facilitate communication among different contractors. And since the emergence of nanotechnology, it was employed in the field of building and finishing materials and has proven its great ability to improve and enhance the efficiency of building performance. Nanotechnology is becoming a future trend that is dreamed of by various participants in construction. The research aims to determine the role of nanotechnology in each stage of the construction project life cycle based on the RIBA plan of work classification. Then specify the degree of importance of each stage. This is achieved by exploring the opinions of field experts using an electronic questionnaire and evaluating the results using the Relative Importance Index (RII) analytical tool. Through this, the most important stages of the project that nanotechnology affects are identified and the role of BIM at these stages is determined to help stakeholders of construction projects using BIM in making decisions and evaluate the importance of project phases.

“…In Egypt, Amin and Abanda (2019) provided evidence for the application of BIM in the design and construction of the Mall of Egypt project. A strengths-weaknesses-opportunities-threats (SWOT) analysis was conducted, which identified the excitement of the project participants to learn and use BIM for the project.…”

“…In Africa, Amin and Abanda (2019) investigated the BIM state in Egypt and concluded that significant contractors and engineering firms have already made a move to implement BIM. The study by Ezeokoli et al (2016) claimed that there are BIM users and a high level of BIM awareness among construction professionals in Nigeria.…”

Purpose This study aims to undertake a contextual analysis of project-level building information modelling (BIM) adoption in Nigeria and demonstrate how BIM is applied across different projects in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach This research generates contextual and holistic understandings of multiple project-level cases of BIM adoption through an interpretive paradigm guided by relativist ontology and subjectivist epistemology. Two models of project-level BIM adoption (ten-factor theory of BIM adoption and strategic-contingent model of BIM adoption) were merged to formulate the BIM adoption assessment scale (BIM-AAS). A qualitative-oriented case study protocol was developed to extract valid and reliable data from external and internal project data based on BIM-AAS features. The extracted data were analysed using the pattern-matching technique and cross-case analysis. Findings The results indicate that there was substantial use of BIM tools and technologies in the projects. All the projects adopted collaborative procurement and team and developed integrated building information models. The use of BIM tools, technologies and processes in the projects was found to be above average. The complexities and expectations levels of the projects compliment the nature of BIM adoption in the projects. Research limitations/implications The BIM-AAS adopted in this research is an excellent example of a project-level BIM adoption analytical tool. It can be assumed in future research. Also, this research contributes to the theory that the level of project complexity and expectations must align with the level of BIM adoption in projects. The study’s findings ratify BIM tools, technologies and processes as the elements of project-level BIM adoption. Practical implications This research substantiates the actual nature and structure of BIM adoption in Nigeria, thereby simplifying the development of initiatives towards BIM adoption in projects and determining the appropriate strategies for BIM implementation and innovation in the Nigerian construction industry. The most important initiative that the Nigerian government can make to drive BIM implementation is the automating of code checking for building rules and regulations in Nigeria. Originality/value Previous studies have only reported cases of project-level BIM adoption using surveys and without a standardised project-level BIM adoption model to guide the analysis. This study is the first to formulate and use BIM adoption models for a uniform, critical and contextual analysis of project-level BIM adoption.

“…This step represented a critical obstacle to the authors. The reasons are quite understandable because of the lack of an official record from a reputable organization in Egypt that includes the contacting addresses of BIM practitioners and the limitation in finding engineers with convenient experiences in the domains of BIM [57]. Facing this challenge, the first author has depended on his personal network and online social account of Facebook for finding BIM-related experts.…”

A Phase-Based Roadmap for Proliferating BIM within the Construction Sector Using DEMATEL Technique: Perspectives from Egyptian Practitioners

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has not been sufficiently proliferated in the developing construction communities. This is owing to the lack of incorporating the key success factors (KSFs) of BIM implementation in a phase-based roadmap to support implementing BIM in practice on a step-by-step approach. With this in mind, this work aims at (1) defining the KSFs for implementing BIM within the developing economies’ socio-economic environment, (2) investigating the interrelationships among the KSFs, and (3) establishing the KSFs in a phased approach to devise a roadmap for their implementation on a step-by-step basis. First, 18 KSFs for implementing BIM have been specified by systematically investigating the pertinent literature and interviewing six well-qualified practitioners in BIM from Egypt, as a developing country. Second, from ten Egyptian BIM experts, data on the influences of the KSFs on each other have been gathered, employing a matrix format-based questionnaire. Third, the experts’ evaluations have been processed, utilizing the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) technique. Proficiently, DEMATEL through its causal diagram portrayed the cause-and-effect relations map of the KSFs. Besides, it divided the KSFs into four clusters, each of which signifies a phase in the BIM implementation journey along with its corresponding priority as well as the priorities of the KSFs that it encompasses. The causal diagram indicated that phase one related KSFs of the BIM implementation journey: research and development investments, senior management support, and firm’s fiscal support contribute to the whole success of the developed BIM implementation roadmap. This study equips construction practitioners in the developing economies with a four-phased roadmap for applying the KSFs of BIM implementation journey in practice on a step-by-step basis. This contribution helps in better prioritizing their decisions and optimizing the allocation of their resources when applying BIM in their business. Hence, at a fast pace, BIM can be proliferated in those countries.
