“…co-located) teams, and attempt to understand the factors influencing the performance of a virtual team. However, given the dynamic of a virtual team, variability of implementation context and approaches adopted (Solnosky et al, 2014), the performance of the team over a longer time, its influencing factors and impact are difficult to assess objectively (Becerik-Gerber et al, 2012;Soetanto et al, 2014). O'Brien et al (2003) and Becerik-Gerber et al (2012) found that remote collaboration is not always successful and often less effective than face-to-face offline meetings.…”

“…Several scholars have published lessons learnt from their implementation in their classes, but these are somewhat piecemeal and do not cover activities comprehensively. This is mainly due to the variability of implementation (Solnosky et al, 2014). One recent example, Lee et al (2013) provides guidelines for integration of BIM in construction engineering and management education.…”

“…Most were implemented within one institution which makes possible regular offline (face-to-face) communication between students (e.g. Tucker & Rollo, 2006;Barry et al, 2012;Solnosky et al, 2014), but fewer include collaboration between students from two or more institutions from different geographical locations (such as Fruchter, 1999;Hussein & Peña-Mora, 1999;O'Brien et al, 2003 andBecerik-Gerber et al, 2012;Soetanto et al, 2014). Previous research studies have considered the effectiveness of distributed project teams (Gaudes et al, 2007;Kankanhalli et al, 2007) and the impacts of distance collaboration on the outcome of a design process (Dossick et al, 2015).…”

“…For example, Barry et al (2012) describe the development of the capstone design course in Purdue University, which has been teamtaught since the early 1960s. Some recent examples, such as Bhandari et al (2011), Peterson et al (2011), Soibelman et al (2011), Wolcott et al (2011), Korkmaz (2012, Stanford et al (2013), Solnosky et al (2014), are varied in their focus with different objects of design, supporting technologies, disciplinary composition and locations of team members, previous training and education levels (Soetanto et al, 2014). Most were implemented within one institution which makes possible regular offline (face-to-face) communication between students (e.g.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this research is to quantitatively evaluate the growth phase, position, and priorities of the industrialization policy management of the construction industry at firm level. The goal is to integrate quantitative dynamics into the policy-making process for sustainable policy development in future China. This research proposes an integrated framework, including growth management model and industrial policy evaluation method, to identify the challenges of construction industrialization and policy management. The research applies the mixed system method, which includes entropy method and average score method, to analyze the growth stage and major impact indexes targeting 327 survey samples. The empirical results show that the proposed conceptual framework and policy evaluation method could effectively determine the growth position and directions of the construction industrialization. For verification purpose, the study uses the local industry data from Shaanxi Province, China. The calculation results substantiate that the construction industry is in the middle section of the third growth phase. The comparison of the results from statistical methods shows that the local construction industry still needs substantial effort in policy management to improve its sustainable industrialization level. As countermeasures, the policy priorities should concentrate on: (1) enhancing effective cooperation among universities, research institutions and enterprises; (2) improving actions towards technology transfer into productivity; and (3) encouraging market acceptance of construction industrialization. This research complements the existing literature of policy evaluation of construction industrialization. Moreover, it provides theoretical and operational steps on industry policy evaluation and growth management framework, with accurate and ample data analysis on firm-level survey. Researchers and policy makers can use this research for further extensions of policy management for construction industrialization.

Building information modelling (BIM) teams, hereafter referred to as BIM-based construction networks, are teams whose possibly geographically dispersed members from various organisations and disciplines, perform project tasks on BIM-enabled projects. In recent years, BIM-based construction networks have progressively become the norm in executing BIM activities on projects. However, even though achieving BIM's full capabilities relies on effective collaboration among the team members in BIM-based construction networks, it is still a struggle for these members to collaborate. Nonetheless, only a few studies have been conducted to identify the barriers to strengthening team collaboration in BIM-based construction networks. To address this gap, the current study, by examining 73 journal articles on collaboration in BIM-based construction networks, builds upon a theoretical review of the literature. A conceptual model is presented to capture the main barriers to collaboration in BIM-based construction networks. The study benefits researchers as well as project managers. For researchers, the conceptual model provides an intermediate theory, namely, a theoretical basis to direct further knowledge creation attempts on the topic. In addition, the conceptual model supports project managers on BIM-enabled projects. That is, it simplifies the knowledge now available for practical applications enabling it to be translated into guidelines and practical instructions on real-life projects.
