“…Other factors, including human, technical and organizational aspects, should also be considered for successful BIM implementation (Tai et al, 2020). Furthermore, BIM implementation is also subject to the perceptions of adopters (Faisal Shehzad et al, 2020). Comparing the factors affecting BIM implementation would reveal the major shortfall areas in all and specific income levels.…”

Purpose This study aims to empirically analyze the symmetries and asymmetries among the critical factors affecting building information modeling (BIM) implementation between countries with different income levels. To achieve that aim, the study objectives are to identify: critical factors affecting BIM implementation in low-, lower-middle-, upper-middle- and high-income countries; overlapping critical factors between countries with different income levels; and agreements on the critical factors between countries with different income levels. Design/methodology/approach This study identified potential BIM implementation factors using a systematic literature review and semi-structured interviews with architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals. Then, the factors were inserted into a questionnaire survey and sent to AEC professionals in Afghanistan, India, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. The collected data was analyzed using the following techniques and tests: mean, standard deviation, normalized value, Kruskal–Wallis, Dunn and Mann–Whitney. Findings Five critical factors overlap between all countries: “availability of guidelines for implementing BIM,” “cost-benefit of implementing BIM,” “stakeholders’ willingness to learn the BIM method,” “consistent views on BIM between stakeholders” and “existence of standard contracts on liability and risk allocation.” Also, the criticality of the factors often differs between income levels, especially between low- and high-income countries, suggesting a significant gap between low- and high-income countries in BIM implementation. Originality/value This study differs from prior works by empirically analyzing the symmetries and asymmetries in BIM implementation factors between countries with different income levels (i.e. low-, lower-middle-, upper-middle- and high-income countries).

“…While many of these factors are similar and can be easily categorised under specific groups, contextual distinctions exist, and their importance and impact varies. Based on a systematic review of literature on BIM adoption, Faisal Shehzad et al (2020) identified 74 significant influencing factors including management support, regulatory support, cross-party knowledge sharing, competitor motivation, grouping the factors as individual, organisational, technology and environmental factors. Similarly, through a review of literature and conducting a survey, Liao and Teo (2017), identified 32 factors influencing BIM adoption in the construction industry.…”

“…We address the identified lack of detail and contribute to the existing literature by identifying and describing how enabling factors are implemented by contractor firms to transform their organisations through the adoption and use of BIM for projects. In doing so, we respond to the call by Faisal Shehzad et al (2020) for an increased use of qualitative and case study methods in studying BIM adoption issues, build on existing contributions (e.g., Awwad et al. , 2020; Liao and Teo, 2019), and complement the study of Khosroshahio and Arayici (2012) in providing an understanding of how specific factors enable successful BIM adoption and implementation by construction firms.…”

PurposeWidespread efforts to promote the use of building information modelling (BIM) as part of the construction industry transformation agenda in many advanced countries are yet to reach the wished-for effects. While there are various studies on the factors influencing BIM adoption, empirical evidence detailing how construction companies can successfully adopt BIM in their organisations remains scarce. This paper identifies and describes how enabling factors are implemented by large UK contractor firms to transform their organisations using BIM for projects.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative exploratory approach is employed in this paper. Data are gathered through 42 semi-structured interviews with professionals in strategic and management roles in construction companies in the UK, followed by case studies of five leading main contractor companies selected to provide examples of how they implemented the identified enablers.FindingsThis research identifies and describes six key enabling factors that influence successful BIM adoption and implementation, namely, committed leadership and management; a digital transformation strategy with realistic objectives; building a capable supplier network; building trust-based relationships with clients; upskilling employees; and establishing a robust structure for effective collaboration and communication.Practical implicationsNine practical recommendations are provided to guide construction firms in taking steps to adopt and use BIM in their organisations and for their projects.Originality/valueThis study provides empirical evidence detailing how key enablers are implemented towards successful BIM adoption and use by large UK contractors.

“…BIM is a new technique that is gaining traction as an increasing number of studies promote and concentrate on the benefits and advantages that BIM can bring to different industries. There is a need for BIM adoption research in developing countries, according to Shehzad et al (2020), who noted that most studies are conducted in developed nations like the US and the UK. Al-Ashmori et al (2020) inferred that the deployment of BIM is driven by trust, commitment, and knowledge; and the benefits include increased productivity, time and cost savings, clash detection and effective communication.…”

“…According to some researchers, the construction industry's existing problems could be effectively solved by the implementation of BIM (Ahuja, Arif and Sawhney, 2018). Nonetheless, major challenges confronting the construction industry are automation, digitization, and better value for capital; BIM, collaborative project delivery, and rich information modelling can provide a competitive advantage (Shehzad et al, 2020). The adoption of BIM in the Malaysian construction ecosystem is threatened by both technical (app/software development) and non-technical (unsustainable app/software user growth, security breaches, selection of the incorrect software development partner, communication, etc.)…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore existing literature on Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Malaysia and examine the perception of practitioners about the potential of BIM applications in reducing construction waste and enhancing productivity.Design/methodology/approachFirst, using 244 bibliographic data extracted from the Scopus database, the paper used scientometric analysis and VOSviewer mapping technique to assess the most impactful publication literature on BIM in Malaysia to identify the existing research gaps. Second, using a structured questionnaire, a total of 100 questionnaires were distributed to practising practitioners who incorporate BIM in the delivery of their projects. Descriptive analysis using cross-tabulation in SPSS software, radar chart, relative importance index and Pearson’s correlation were used to analyze the data.FindingsThe research gaps are in the fields of construction projects, buildings, energy efficiency, lifecycle and housing. The findings of the survey indicate that quantity take-off, clash detection, site utilization planning, digital fabrication as well as 4D stimulation were the main BIM applications used among the practitioners in Johor and Selangor.Practical implicationsBy assessing the state-of-the-art of BIM and BIM applications in this region, the practical implications of this study provide useful insights to construction stakeholders, funding organizations, policymakers, research institutions, professionals, journal editors, reviewers and researchers to understand the overall trend of BIM in Malaysia and its usage.Originality/valueThis paper is the first to use science mapping using scientometrics to reveal the current BIM research in “Malaysia only”. Relying on the identified gaps, the study further examined the usage of BIM applications in Malaysian construction projects.
