“…Compared with other studies related to BIM adoption in other developing AEC markets (e.g. Masiid et al, 2013;Juszczyk et al, 2015;and Ahuja et al, 2018), and adopting Chongqing as the case, this research differs from these previously conducted BIM managerial studies both in China and overseas in terms that: 1) it addresses the BIM movement in less BIM-ready regions which contribute to the majority of China's AEC industry revenue (Xu et al 2018);…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to target on individual perceptions of BIM practice in terms of BIM benefits, critical success factors (CSFs) and challenges in Chongqing which represented the less BIM-developed metropolitan cities in China. Design/methodology/approach Adopting a questionnaire-survey approach followed by statistical analysis, the study further divided the survey population from Chongqing into subgroups according to their employer types and organization sizes. A further subgroup analysis adopting statistical approach was conducted to investigate the effects of employer type and organization size on individual perceptions. Findings Subgroup analysis revealed that governmental employees held more conservative and neutral perceptions toward several items in BIM benefit, CSFs and challenges. It was inferred that smaller organizations with fewer than 100 full-time employees perceived more benefits of BIM in recruiting and retaining employees, and considered more critical of involving companies with BIM knowledge in their projects. Originality/value This study contributed to the body of knowledge in managerial BIM in terms that: it extended the research of individual perceptions toward BIM implementation by focusing on less BIM-mature regions; it contributed to previous studies of influencing factors to BIM practice-based perceptions by introducing factors related to organization type and sizes; and it would lead to future research in establishing BIM climate and culture which address perceptions and behaviors in BIM adoption at both individual and organizational levels.

“…The ability of BIM to do parametric design and store data about the life cycle of buildings can be used to investigate and regulate energy consumption, initial costs, ongoing costs in a building, as well as the implementation of other sustainable design principles in the construction industry (Anbouhi, Farahza & Ayatollahi, 2016: 99). Silva et al (2016) provide a summary of the implementation of BIM in various countries (see also Khosrowshahi & Arayici, 2012;Hadzaman, Takim & Nawawi, 2015;Enshassi & AbUHamra, 2017;Telaga, 2018;Ahuja et al, 2018).…”

“…This suggests that BIM is majorly used in pre-construction stage for designing purposes which is in congruence with the project 2 as mentioned in this paper. Even though the project consultants are willing to implement BIM yet, clients are quite reluctant to implement the same because of long lead time for scale implementation, lack of awareness and high training costs (Ahuja et al 2018). One of the case study participant expressed the necessity for governmental initiatives to encourage and facilitate BIM adoption in India.…”

“…Availability of technical expertise will encourage BIM adoption (Ahuja et al 2016). Favourable attitude towards BIM, availability of BIM based softwares on trial basis and consistent beliefs and values for BIM adoption catalyses the implementation of BIM in Indian scenario (Ahuja et al 2018). At the same time BIM implementation faces challenges because of lack of standardization and complexity in processes (Ahuja et al 2018).…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is recognized as an enabler for proficient accomplishment of projects in construction industry at different levels. Various benefits have been achieved globally through BIM implementations including enhanced visualization, collaboration between stakeholders throughout the project life cycle, time and cost savings, value engineering, change management and many others. Harnessing the BIM capabilities efficiently to gain maximum benefits on the projects can be a major milestone for the Indian built environment sector. For this study, BIM has been identified as an effective process for achieving various lean benefits for construction projects in India.The project envision BIM as a catalyst for improving the current scenario of Indian construction sector. The paper is based on exploration case based research methodology wherein, both literature review and semi-structured interview have been done. Relationship between BIM and lean by studying the use of various BIM capabilities on construction projects from initiation stage till operations and maintenance stage has been established. Lean benefits corresponding to each BIM capability has been reported upon validating in discussions with the industry experts and literature review.
