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.

Over the decade, the usage of data had increased exponentially, which led to the demand for its effective storage and retrieval. The cloud environment has developed to handle that demand with its huge storage space and easy accessibility. However, the open nature of the cloud resulted in the data integrity issues and multiuser cloud enriched it. The other issues like group signature and user revocation took the central part to ensure integrity of data in the cloud. The present study summarizes various techniques that were developed in recent times to address the security issues on data integrity, user revocation, and group signature. To reflect on the novelty of each approach, along with its performance in providing integrity for the cloud data stands as the primary objective of the study. From the extensive study, it was found that the overhead on the computational and communication overhead increase proportionally with an increase in the number of the user during the group signature generation and recurrent user revocation. There was a need for an effective cryptic mechanism with effective cloud storage and recovery of data. Finally, it was suggested to develop a robust framework that can provide enhanced security with reduced overhead and ensure data integrity.

“…Some other works aim to explain the drivers for using BIM, such as exploring how to measure the benefits of BIM [33] and analyzing the project benefits of BIM [3]. Meanwhile, some works aim to solve technical problems when using BIM, such as enhancing the information exchange process [34], information integration [35,36], spatial data analysis [37,38], and geometric optimization [39]. Furthermore, some works aim to enhance construction using BIM and other techniques, such as assisting the construction defect management [40], monitoring building performance [41], improving the monitoring of construction supply chain [42], using BIM and 4D to solve structural conflict problems [43,44], and lean production management systems based on BIM [45].…”

In the construction area, visuals such as drawings, photos, videos, and 3D models, play a significant role in the design, build and maintenance of a facility, bringing efficiency to generate, transfer, and store information. Advanced visual computing techniques facilitate the understanding of design contents, work plans, and other types of information shared in the construction industry. Automatic visual data collection and analysis provide many possibilities to the construction industry and a large number of works have investigated how visual computing can improve construction management processes and other problems in the construction area. However, a comprehensive literature review is needed. This study uses bibliometric approaches to review the works published to date, and analyses the development of knowledge, significant research results, and trends. The purpose of this study is to help newcomers to this research field understand knowledge structure and formulate research directions, thereby enhancing knowledge development. From this study, it can be concluded that computer vision is a key axis of improvement. Moreover, building information modeling, laser scanning, and other visualizationrelated techniques are also important in advancing the construction area.
