“…In the construction context, collaboration describes all situations where various parties work together, for example partnering, alliancing, joint ventures or networking (Hughes et al, 2012). Collaboration in construction therefore largely falls within the procurement discourse (Durdyev et al, 2019;Elghaish et al, 2019). That is, collaboration occurs by adopting delivery methods that establish collaborative arrangements in delivering projects (Kuiper and Holzer, 2013;Hughes et al, 2015).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a modified model for collaboration in BIM-based construction networks (BbCNs). Though BIM is increasingly adopted and implemented across the construction industry, the problems associated with the lack of collaboration among teams in BbCNs remain a major hindrance to reaping the full potential of BIM. Previous studies have been conceptual in nature. This paper, therefore, attempts to modify and validate existing conceptual models that describe collaboration in BbCNs.Design/methodology/approachTo modify the conceptual model for collaboration in BbCNs, qualitative data through semi-structured interviews with BIM experts in the industry were collected and analysed using qualitative methods including the use of NVivo software.FindingsThe proposed model includes influential factors and their sub-factors to collaboration in BbCNs, as well as considering their indicators. Findings reveal that several overlooked concepts, particularly unfavourable BIM contractual arrangements, act as the root causes of the unwillingness of team members in BbCNs to engage in collaborative efforts.Research limitations/implicationsThe study's findings must be viewed in light of several limitations. First, the interviewees in this study were based in Australia hence their perceptions of BIM collaboration are reflective of the sociotechnical setting of BIM-enabled projects in this country. Also, the findings are based on the perception of experts in the field, rather than analysis of performance measures or quantitative assessment of associations among collaboration outcomes and various factors. This, however, provides the field with fertile grounds for future research.Practical implicationsThe study benefits researchers by shifting the collaboration discourse in BIM-enabled projects from technology-related issues to the people and contractual-related domains. Moreover, the developed qualitative model provides industry professionals with a point of reference to improve collaboration on BIM-enabled projects.Social implicationsThe study benefits researchers by shifting the collaboration discourse in BIM-enabled projects from technology-related issues to the people and contractual-related domains. Moreover, the developed qualitative model provides industry professionals with a point of reference to improve collaboration on BIM-enabled projects.Originality/valueArguments provided in this study highlight the necessity of considering the contractual arrangement of BIM-related projects and foster the willingness of team members to collaborate. This can be addressed using clear and comprehensive BIM execution plans and clearly explaining the role of BIM managers in the process.

“…Validation is computed using Chouquet integrals taking into account the interaction between criteria. The use of the Chouquet integral method has been considered for a robust model in which the metrics work together and has been used in various cases (Joseph Shrestha et al, 2016;Elghaish et al, 2019).…”

Nowadays, the problem of scheduling and executing projects with the least cost and time has become one of the main concerns of project managers. In this regard, researchers have used different methods and patterns. One of these methods is to use concurrent engineering in projects. Simultaneous engineering means the creation of a project schedule for projects based on existing units and human resources so that a synchronous rule can be applied to the project so that the project can be completed in less time. Modeling time and cost in large-scale construction projects is actually complicated and complicated. These complexities actually increase the risk of time and cost in the project. In this research, a new method called Chouquet integral algorithm is used to analyze time and cost equations. The Chouquet integral is a method used to analyze and linearize complex equations. The proposed method is implemented on an executable model in 2017 and analyzed and analyzed in MATLAB software. The results show that the error rate of time and cost in the construction model resulted in a reduction of 27 and 14%, respectively. Commonly, the structure developments will take an extended period to broad. In this background approximating structure costs are main stages for plan estimators, independents. The evaluating procedure is a stimulating occupation owing to variations in building features and that trend rising over the extended period. The movement time-cost association has for the most portion been presumed to be lined, but, a rare revisions have recommended that this is not essentially the situation in exercise. These prototypes carefully represent the most public circumstances happening throughout construction developments. The benefits of these models are that they tolerate for together separate and constant, in addition to deterministic outlines. Moreover, the amount of possessions needed for deafening the movement can be measured. Contrasts amongst the models and additional new fast-following model from the procedure are debated and a Chouquet integral algorithm is applied for a fictional usage instance including together density methods.

“…As an example, studies show that projects employing IPD have been successful in minimising defects associated with dimensional and geometric variations and as a result, improve the energy performance of buildings [9,[26][27][28][29]. Moreover, other advantages of IPD include enhancing the trust among project parties [20], minimising the gap between client expectation and design [23], and reducing the cost through the collaboration between all project parties [30].…”

“…An agreed upon, fair IPD compensation model is thus a vital precondition to successful project delivery [10,[16][17][18]. Moreover, sound cost management practices are the mainstay of IPD compensation models [19,20]. Consequently, researchers have attempted to identify those factors that affect the success of cost management practices in IPD projects, a brief description of which follows.…”

“…One of the advantages of using IPD is to enable establishing sustainable relationships among built environment practitioners [23]. Additionally, cost management represents one of the significant barriers to fostering the adoption of IPD in the AEC industry [20]. As a result, improving the cost management practices for the IPD approach facilitates the implementation of IPD and converts the relationships among parties to be sustainable.…”

Integrated project delivery (IPD) is a mode of project procurement recognised as facilitating superior project performance. However, this success is contingent on effective cost management practices that share cost data with all project stakeholders in an accurate, timely and transparent manner. Despite an extensive literature on aspects of cost management, none identifies the essential ingredients required of an effective cost management system, sufficiently robust to support successful IPD projects. Candidate cost management augmenting practices are drawn from the literature, and presented for scrutiny in questionnaire form, to fifty IPD experienced experts, based in the USA, UK and Australia. Findings reveal activity-based costing (ABC) to be effective at identifying overhead costs and creating accounting transparency. Similarly, earned value management (EVM), in combination with ABC, is effective at developing mathematical models for equitable risk-reward distribution. Moreover, web-based management systems, as supported by Building Information Modelling (BIM), are effective at generating trust and collaboration on which IPD success depends. A questionnaire survey using purposive sampling was conducted to assess the factors driving success of implementing IPD regarding cost management process. The contribution to knowledge made by this paper is in identifying requisite support mechanisms essential to elevate traditional cost management practices to the higher standard needed to ensure IPD delivery success.
