“…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;.…”

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.

“…As identified by multiple other sources (e.g., Porwal andHewage, 2013 andJin et al, 2017) from the AEC industry perspective, interoperability remained one major barrier for wider application of BIM in enhancing multidisciplinary collaboration. The architecture students' resistance to BIM was also consistent with the architects in the study of Thomsen (2010) who stated that BIM limited the design choices and added extra requirements to architects.…”

Purpose -This study aims to present a pedagogical practice in the project-based assessment of AEC students' interdisciplinary building design work adopting BIM. This pedagogical practice emphasizes the impacts of BIM, as the digital collaboration platform, on the crossdisciplinary teamwork design through information sharing. This study also focuses on collecting students' perceptions on BIM effects in integrated project design. Challenges in BIM adoption from AEC students' perspective were identified and discussed, and could spark further research needs.Design/Methodology/Approach -Based on a thorough review of previous pedagogical practices of applying BIM in multiple AEC disciplines, this study adopted a case study of Solar Decathlon residential building design as the group project for AEC students to deliver the design work and construction planning. In total 13 different teams within the University of Nottingham Ningbo China, each group consisting of final year undergraduate students with backgrounds in architecture, civil engineering, and architectural environmental engineering, worked to deliver the detailed design of solar-powered residential house meeting pre-specified project objectives in terms of architectural aesthetics, structural integrity, energy efficiency, prefabrication construction techniques, and other issues such as budget and scheduling. Each team presented the cross-disciplinary design plan with cost estimate and construction scheduling together within group reports. This pedagogical study collected students' reflective thinking on how BIM affected their design work, and compared their feedback on BIM to that from AEC industry professionals in previous studies. Findings -The case study of Solar Decathlon building project showed the capacity of BIM in enabling interdisciplinary collaboration through information exchange and in enhancing communication across different AEC fields. More sustainable design options were considered in the early architectural design stages through the cross-disciplinary cooperation between architecture and building services engineering. BIM motivated AEC student teams to have a more comprehensive design and construction plan by considering multiple criteria including energy efficiency, budget, and construction activities. Students' reflections indicated both positive effects of BIM (e.g., facilitating information sharing) as well as challenges for further BIM implementation, for example, some architecture students' resistance to BIM, and the lack of existing family types in BIM library, etc.Research limitations/implications -Some limitations of the current BIM pedagogy were identified through the student group work. For example, students revealed the problem of interoperability between BIM (i.e., Autodesk Revit) and building energy simulation tools. To further integrate the university education and AEC industry practice, future BIM pedagogical work could recruit professionals and project stakeholders in the adopted case study, for the purpose of providing ...

 Abstract: In the current development of the construction world, many efforts have been made to improve the quality and quantity of work, both structurally and in construction management. At least the efforts made are efforts to improve and achieve better work results. Technology development is needed, including in the construction world where one form of technology developed in the construction world is BIM (Building Information Modeling). For practitioners who adopt BIM or plan to invest in BIM in their future projects, there is a need to understand BIM's top investment priorities, risks associated after they start using BIM, and ways to increase BIM returns because this problem will influence decision making BIM investment. To overcome this, it is necessary to examine the main priorities of investment in adopting BIM, ways to increase returns on BIM applications, and risks in implementing BIM in developing countries, especially for actors who provide construction services. This study uses the Relative Important Index (RII) statistics to provide advice on how to improve and use BIM for industry professionals MEA or interests interested in investing in BIM or planning to use BIM in their projects.
