“…Figure 1 summarises the framework for implementing the research approach, comprising six steps consistent with Peffers et al (2007). Similar problem-based approaches to AECO-identified challenges can be found in the works of Ding et al (2017), Pradeep et al (2021) and Schimanski et al (2021).…”

Purpose Despite the technological paradigm shift presented to the architecture, engineering, construction and operations sector (AECO), the full-fledged acceptance of the building information modelling (BIM) methodology has been slower than initially anticipated. Indeed, this study aims to acknowledge the need for increasing supportive technologies enabling the use of BIM, attending to available human resources, their requirements and their tasks. Design/methodology/approach A complete case study is described, including the development process centred on design science research methodology followed by the usability assessment procedure validated by construction projects facility management operational staff. Findings Results show that participants could interact with BIM using openBIM processes and file formats naturally, as most participants reached an efficiency level close to that expected for users already familiar with the interface (i.e. high-efficiency values). These results are consistent with the reported perceived satisfaction and analysis of participants’ discourses through 62 semi-structured interviews. Originality/value The contributions of the present study are twofold: a proposal for a virtual reality openBIM framework is presented, particularly for the semantic enrichment of BIM models, and a methodology for evaluating the usability of this type of system in the AECO sector.

“…Researchers have addressed and presented serious efforts regarding achieving synergy, interaction and integration between BIM and lean construction in many research and conferences in the past few years. Although, most publications agreed that the two concepts are conceptually separate and represent different initiatives and thus can be used independently from each other (Sacks et al , 2010; Dave et al , 2013; Mellado and Lou, 2020; Schimanski et al , 2021; Eldeep et al , 2022). However, the significant added value and the insightful impact that synergy and integration between the two processes bring to the construction industry cannot be ignored (Evans et al , 2021; Sacks et al , 2010).…”

“…However, the significant added value and the insightful impact that synergy and integration between the two processes bring to the construction industry cannot be ignored (Evans et al , 2021; Sacks et al , 2010). Promoting effective communication, improving visualization processes and providing more affluent, more detailed and more accurate information for decision-making are just a few examples of this additional value (Schimanski et al , 2021).…”

Purpose The construction industry sector is developing rapidly, especially with the increasing pace of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in this sector. Construction projects can benefit from greater integration and collaboration between their technologies and processes to reap the advantages and keep pace with the recent significant technological and managerial techniques developments. Therefore, this study aims to delve into and investigate building information modeling (BIM) and Lean Construction (L.C.) with a concentration on the potential BIM–lean interactions synergy and integration in the Jordanian construction industry. Design/methodology/approach This study takes exploratory nature, followed by the deductive research approach, and is designed to be a mono-quantitative research methodology. Moreover, the sampling technique is non-probability convenience sampling, and the research strategy is implemented through a questionnaire used and analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science to conduct descriptive and inferential statistical analysis and verify the reliability and validity through proper tests. Findings The BIM–lean interactions synergy and integration findings revealed that eliminating waste (time, cost, resources), promoting continuous improvement (Kaizen) and standardizing as lean construction principles are the most significant and agreeable toward achieving BIM–lean interactions synergy. On the other hand, “High 3D Visualization Modelling” was the most significant BIM function, followed by “Rapid and Auto-Generation of Documents and Multiple Design Alternatives” and “Maintenance of Information and Design Model Integrity.” Moreover, based on the relative importance index (RII) values, “Lack of Technical Expertise in BIM-LEAN” is the most significant challenge with a 0.89 value of RII, followed by “Lack of Government Direction and Standard Guidelines” with a 0.88 value of RII and “Financial considerations” with a 0.83 value of RII. Originality/value This study will help provide a new detailed overview that investigates the effects and expected benefits of integrating BIM processes and technological functionalities with lean construction principles within a synergetic environment. Moreover, the study will increase the awareness of using new technologies and management approaches in the architectural, engineering and construction industry, seeking to achieve integration between these technologies to reach ideal results in terms of the outputs of construction operations.

“…Building information modeling (BIM) allows the use of a virtual model as a central and consistent source of information for stakeholders [72]. In production management, 4D BIM models are particularly relevant, as they can be used to manage product and operations flow, considering time, resource, and logistical elements, and contribute to the improvement of construction safety [73,74].…”

Design Principles and Prescriptions for Planning and Controlling Engineer-to-Order Industrialized Building Systems

Construction projects have a high degree of complexity due to both the high degree of uncertainty in process and goals, and the large number of components and stakeholders’ interdependences. In the case of Engineer-to-order (ETO) building systems, there are other sources of complexity, including short lead time, uncertainty related to design, and interdependences between production units. Previous research efforts on the management of ETO industrialized building systems have been limited to managerial improvements from the perspective of companies in charge of manufacturing and assembling components. However, the literature is still scarce on the management of several industrialized building systems that need to be integrated during site installation, considering the perspective of a construction company in charge of the construction stage. The aim of this paper is to propose a set of design principles and prescriptions for production planning and controlling projects that combine different industrialized building systems, considering the key role played by ETO systems in that context. Design Science Research was the methodological approach adopted in this investigation. The development of this set of design principles and prescriptions was based on a literature review and also on an empirical study carried out in a construction project. The outcomes of this investigation are summarized in a framework that establishes interconnections between design prescriptions. The main contribution of this investigation is the development of prescriptive knowledge that can be used to support the design or assessment of planning and control systems that address the requirements of ETO industrialized building systems.
