Impact of BIM-related factors affecting construction project performance

Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the impact of primary building information modelling (BIM)-related factors, extracted from the literature on the subject, on construction project performance.Design/methodology/approachBased on data collected from 134 BIM users, this study used structural equation modelling to assess the impact of these factors in five main BIM-related factor clusters.FindingsThe results of the analysis confirmed the reliability and validity of the research design and outcomes. The findings indicated that the BIM-related external factors cluster is the most influential cluster affecting construction project performance. BIM-related project factors and BIM-related technological factors also had a significant impact on project performance. These were followed by the BIM-related management factors cluster, while the BIM-related human factors cluster had a low impact on project performance.Research limitations/implicationsThis study will contribute to fostering BIM adoption and implementation in the construction industry in developing countries.Originality/valueThis study has filled a crucial knowledge gap by providing information on manageable primary BIM-related factors affecting construction project performance.

Critical success factors for implementing PPP infrastructure projects in developing countries: the case of Vietnam

“…This cluster was extracted from flowing critical success factors that are competitive process to select sub-contractors, an efficient private approval process, an efficient sub-contractors approval process, appropriate evaluation standards, competitive procurement process, transparency in the procurement process, transparency process to select sub-contractors. PPP is a procurement process, therefore there is a need for transparency throughout this process and it does not only apply to the tendering process but must be observed throughout the delivery of the PPP projects [47,54,58]. The information and reports on the PPP projects should be made publicly available and Parties should openly consult each other for any clarification on the projects' delivery.…”

“…In order to lead the success of the implementation of PPP infrastructure projects, several failure or success factors of a PPP project have been determined by numerous studies. Since the 1990s, studies on CSFs of PPP projects have been conducted by studies to identify key success factors to find out the best ways of implementing PPP policy for infrastructure development [31,54,58]. CSFs defined as the 'few key areas of activity where favorable results are absolutely necessary for a manager to reach his/her goals' [49].…”

“…Hence, this study adopted SEM approach to assess five main latent factors on the success of PPP infrastructure project implementation. This approach was recommended by several prior studies [20,58] which suggested that this approach was the reasonable method to discover the regression path between dependent variables and independent variables. This study used various confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) to test the adequacy of each scale used to investigate the causal relationships among variables.…”

Case study on barriers to building information modelling implementation in Malaysia

“…2.1.2 Client's request. The most frequently identified obstacle in all types of professions is the lack of client demand (Almuntaser et al, 2018;Ayinla and Adamu, 2018;Georgiadou, 2019;Van Tam et al, 2021). The construction sector was unprepared to adopt BIM.…”

Risk Factors on Civil Engineering Projects

“…It has also been widely reported that any financial problem regardless of reason leads to payment delay and therefore causes delay in project schedule [24]. The financial status of stakeholders is a top critical factor affecting the construction labor productivity based on the study carried out by [25]. This is due to large amount of capital required to cover daily project execution expenses.…”
