“…Barriers identified can be categorized into three thematic categories, namely: i) demand for, and inter-organizational capabilities to supply BIM work; ii) intra-organizational resources; and iii) firms' perceived benefits of BIM implementation (Lee and Yu 2016).

“…A firm's history and project portfolio (i.e. what balance of public vis-a-vis private projects are undertaken), can determine their motivation and urgency to use BIM in projects (Eadie et al 2013;Lee and Yu 2016). According to , a firm's past experience of BIM and 'forward thinking top management' who are be supportive of this process are decisive ingredients for the successful adoption and implement of BIM.…”

“…Various factors can hinder BIM use (Eadie et al 2013;Lee and Yu 2016) albeit, there is a dearth of research from an SME's perspective (Dainty et al 2017;Hosseini et al 2016).

“…Consequently, the first engagement of companies with BIM involves making a decision on either using BIM or persevering with traditional methods (Tulubas Gokuc and Arditi 2017)-a process often based upon: market pressure (Lee et al 2015;Zhang et al 2018); clients' demands (Lee and Yu 2016;Lee et al 2015;; and bandwagon impacts, namely, pressures stemming from awareness of the sheer number of firms that have already adopted BIM (Kale and Arditi 2010). An introspective evaluation of company capabilities in providing essential resources is similarly influential (Cao et al 2017;Jin et al 2017;Kale and Arditi 2010;Lee et al 2015;.…”

Roadmap to Mature BIM Use in Australian SMEs: Competitive Dynamics Perspective

et al. 2018

This research explores and reports upon the scale of BIM implementation maturity (from nonadoption to full-scale deployment) within Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating within the Australian construction industry. The research utilizes a Competitive Dynamics Perspective (CDP) as the theoretical lens and analyses data collected from 135 SMEs using Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) to provide a richer insight into levels of BIM implementation maturity. Findings reveal that there is no meaningful association between BIM implementation maturity within SMEs and their organizational attributes (such as size and level of experience). Additionally, lack of solid evidence to support a reasonable return on investment (ROI) was found to be the key barrier to using BIM in higher levels of maturity. In practical terms, the study focuses upon pertinent issues associated with mandated BIM in Australia from SMEs' perspective, pointing out potential consequences, and challenging the pressure for mandating. The research concludes by providing pragmatic recommendations designed to accelerate the pace that Australian SMEs move across a BIM trajectory from non-adopters to higher levels of maturity.

“…Additionally, Lee and Yu (2016) claim that several researchers and practitioners seem to agree on BIM's potential applicability in and benefits for construction. The confidence in BIM as a means to increase industrial efficiency is further expressed by governmental initiatives in countries including Great Britain, Singapore, Finland, and Sweden, where public clients have started to require BIM as part of project delivery.…”

Barriers and facilitators for BIM use among Swedish medium-sized contractors - “We wait until someone tells us to use it”

et al. 2017

Background: The pace of diffusion of BIM (Building Information Modelling) use is considered to increase with governmental initiatives in which public clients in countries like Finland, Singapore, United Kingdom, and Sweden begin requiring BIM as a part of the project delivery. Currently, larger contractor firms use BIM to a certain extent. However, BIM use by mid-sized contractor firms (that is, firms with 50-500 employees that can successfully compete with larger contractors on projects costing a maximum of 50 million Euros) is relatively unknown. Hence, the aim of the paper is to explore current use and perceived constraints and driving forces of BIM-implementation with respect to mid-sized contractors. Methods: A mixed method approach was applied, and data was collected through an interview study and a survey involving chief executive officers or their closest sub-ordinates in mid-sized contractor firms in Sweden. The survey was based on a technology-, organization-, and environment framework that is used in information systems research to study the use of interorganizational information systems. The total population of firms in the survey corresponded to 104. The study presented the preliminary results based on 32 answers (with a 31% response rate). Results: Fifty-eight percent of the surveyed respondents stated that they had been involved in a project in which BIM was used in some manner. The most commonly used application included visualization, which also facilitates coordination and communication. The biggest perceived constraints involved partners that did not use BIM, lack of demand from clients, and the absence of internal demand in the company. With respect to the two last obstacles, significant differences existed between users and non-users. The most common perceived driving forces included the fact that BIM is perceived as a means to follow technical development and that BIM provides competitive advantages to the company. Conclusions: It is concluded that the main driver responsible for BIM-implementation is mainly determined by an individual's subjective positive or negative evaluation of BIM, instead of external pressure from clients and partners or by the internal capacity and knowledge to use BIM.

The research study aims to explore and assess the critical success factors (CSFs) that can amplify the integration of building information modeling (BIM) and sustainability practices in construction projects. Delphi survey technique was employed to solicit the perceptions of experts on the 30 identified CSFs by means of a two‐round Delphi survey. The expert panel responses were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The key drivers identified in the study are related to people‐centric, and data and technology‐centric interventions in the built environment. Crucial deductions were formed on the basis of a comparative analysis of the expert groups. The study's findings have provided valuable lessons for local authorities, policymakers, and project stakeholders to strengthen the drive for achieving full adoption of green BIM initiatives. The study has also provided effective recommendations for increasing the uptake of BIM and sustainability practices in the construction industry, and has contributed to the existing body of knowledge about smart urbanization and hands‐on practice in the built environment.
