The engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) method has the potential to help construction projects achieve sustainable performance, e.g., the contractor’s early involvement, cost savings, and a reduced schedule. However, high uncertainties and complexities are contained in EPC projects. 4D BIM (Building Information Modeling) with abilities to simplify the time and space relationships of construction activities and support multi-party information sharing is beneficial to EPC project management. The behavior pattern of the project personnel toward accepting 4D BIM information systems or tools needs to be explored. Therefore, a research model of the acceptance of 4D BIM in EPC projects with eight latent constructs is proposed through a literature review of technology acceptance theories. Data is collected from a questionnaire survey and interviews. Research hypotheses are examined using PLS-SEM (partial least squares-structural equation modeling). Empirical evidence is collected from China, and implications to the developing countries facing the challenge of developing a technology-intensive construction industry are provided: (1) Adopting 4D BIM in the EPC project is beneficial; (2) the task-technology fit plays a leading role in technology acceptance; (3) the management incentive is inefficient at the operational stage. Suggestions for future research on 4D BIM acceptance in complex construction projects with abundant data and alternative models are provided.

“…As a result, much research has been investigated how schedule generation could be enhanced by automating generation of activity, estimation of duration and determining sequence logic with the support of emerging technologies. For this, BIM is increasingly an important for scheduling since it provides a significant support for this complex task by reducing planning time and increase productivity (Sigalov & König, 2017). Sigalov and König (2017) developed automatic detection of construction processes patterns with an emphasis on preparation of schedules for the recognition of process patterns, including breakdown of schedules into smaller parts.…”

Scheduling plays a fundamental role in construction projects’ success and thus has drawn attention from both academic researchers and industry practitioners. A large number of research articles tend to solve emerging challenges in construction project schedule (CPS). Therefore, there is a strong need of systematic review on existing studies. In this study, a total of 332 articles were retrieved from Scopus database using title, abstract and keywords with respect to CPS and filtered by document type, language type and abstract content. In particular, science mapping approach was adopted to analyse selected journal articles. These articles were examined using three sequential processes, including bibliometric search, scientometric analysis, and in-depth qualitative discussion. It could demonstrate the most influential journals, researchers, published articles, and active countries/regions in this area. In addition, major CPS knowledge areas were identified and summarized as CPS constructability, applications of variety of CPS methods, CPS optimization models and algorithms, identification and quantification of schedule risks and uncertainties, CPS performance management, and adopting new emerging CPS technologies and methods. Furthermore, knowledge gaps and future potential research directions were also discussed in detail. Finally, a comprehensive CPS framework was proposed as a sound reference in future research.

“…At the same time, BIM can also be used as a collaborative design platform for information sharing to solve the interoperability of design software data of different disciplines problem for achieving real collaborative design [20]. BIM can not only make and control the construction schedule [21,22], but can also guide the specific construction technology operation. For example, BIM is used to guide the construction of formwork [23] and concrete pouring [24].…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology has promoted the development of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, but has encountered many barriers to its application in China. Therefore, identifying the barriers to BIM application and capturing their interactions are essential in order to control and eliminate the determined barriers. From this standpoint, 23 BIM application barriers were identified through a literature review and expert interviews. Furthermore, the interactions among them were determined based on the Delphi method, which was the foundation for establishing the BIM application barrier network (BABN). Then, the software Pajek was employed to construct the network model and reveal its topological characteristics based on complex network theory, including degree, betweenness, eigenvector, clustering coefficient, network diameter, and average path length. As indicated by the results, BABN possesses scale-free network property because its cumulative degree distribution obeys power-law distribution. BABN is also a small-world network, due to its relatively high clustering coefficient as well as small average path length, implying that barrier propagation in BABN is fast. In addition, the results are discussed and recommendations are proposed. This research will help BIM stakeholders to develop coping strategies to control and eliminate BIM application barriers for the sake of driving BIM sustainable development.Sustainability 2020, 12, 3190 2 of 22 showed that applying BIM can reduce errors in the project, which reduces the cost compared to the up-front cost brought by applying BIM. As a digital technology, BIM can reduce cost throughout the building's lifecycle [5]. It can be utilized to support design, procurement, fabrication, construction, operation, and maintenance, such as cost management, time management, risk management, resource management, facility management, and sustainable applications. In short, BIM offers the potential to help transform the construction industry and boost productivity in the AEC industry [6].As the application of BIM helps to promote the sustainable development of the AEC industry, many governments are actively promulgating policies to accelerate the process of BIM adoption, including the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and others [7]. The government has been an active advocate of BIM application. The Chinese AEC industry is one of the biggest and most important markets in the world, and it also plays a pivotal role in China's economy. Recently, the Chinese government has been actively promoting the development of BIM technology in China. The study conducted by Lin and Zhang [8] indicated that China's national government, local government, and association issued a total of 58 BIM-related policies from December 2013 to December 2017, and the number of polices demonstrated a typical exponential growth trend. It can be inferred that the relevant state agencies will increasingly be issued along with the development of BIM.Co...
