“…Nowadays, there is a need for construction professionals to employ novel strategies to respond to customer expectations and constantly changing demands in terms of quality and price (Othman et al , 2020). However, construction activities gradually focus on software and IT technologies (Yevu et al , 2020). These are not limited to acquiring and processing sensory data on-site and deploying software to enhance the safety and security of human operations alone (Balaguer and Abderrahim, 2008).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the barriers militating against the adoption of robotics in the construction industry.Design/methodology/approachRobotics implementation barriers were obtained from the previous studies and then through questionnaire survey construction stakeholders in Nigeria evaluate these barriers. Consequently, these barriers were examined via the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique. Furthermore, a model of these barriers was implemented by means of a partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe EFA results showed that these barriers could be categorized into two: cost and technology. Results obtained from the proposed model showed that platform tools were crucial tools for implementing cloud computing.Originality/valueThe novelty of this research work will be provided a solid foundation for critically assessing and appreciating the different barriers affecting the adoption of robotics.

“…The next dimension shown in the identification model is the 'type of benefit' which categorizes benefit factors into monetary quantifiable, non-monetary quantifiable and non-monetary qualitative which is a widely used form of categorization [8], [28]- [30]. Another form of categorization includes different types of impacts whether it is an intended impact, side effect, ripple effect or negative impact [24].…”

Studies related to measuring the benefits of BIM become a new sensation. However, the reported values are highly inconsistent as there are no standards to benchmark the benefits according to different returning values. This paper presents a critical review of various factors that may affect the benefits to be measured from BIM. The review of previous studies aims to propose a novel classification approach for BIM benefits as a theoretical basis for further validation. The objective of this study is to explore BIM benefit returning factors. A total of 17 sources from peer-reviewed journals and various grey literature are included in the review with no time limit. From the underlying theories of Benefit Realisation Management (BRM) and the Benefit Identification Model, it is found that there are several factors that can be used to determine and classify the benefits of BIM for measurement purposes. An ontology of Benefit Determining Factor is proposed consisting of four (4) main dimensions, namely project context, stakeholder, time, and type using thematic analysis. The result is an attempt to make a theoretical breakthrough that introduces the existence of various BIM benefit influencing factors into the body of knowledge. These factors will provide researchers and analysts greater insight into more accurate measurement of BIM outcomes.

“…According to Yevu et al (2020), although many studies have examined the benefits of information technology (IT), not many have attempted to measure its benefits. Similarly, since high capital investment is needed for the adoption of BIM technology, industry players were concerned about the identification and measurement of its benefit and cost as a form of legitimate evidence for their investment (Chahrour et al, 2021;Lu et al, 2014;PwC, 2018a).…”

Building information modelling (BIM) adopters require well-documented, quantitative, and financial simulation studies as solid evidence for the benefits of BIM to implement it and evaluate its success.However, to move towards more practical analyses to be performed by the end-users, more discussions on process to measure BIM benefit should be held, despite the large number of studies related to BIM benefit indicators. Therefore, this study examines the proposed and simulated methods used to measure the benefits of BIM in previous studies. A systematic literature review (SLR) of 21 articles was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and analysed using meta-ethnography and thematic qualitative analysis. The SLR depicted the trends of studies published over the years. The results indicate that out of the 31 BIM benefits identified, only 17 BIM benefits have been measured in simulations.4 other BIM benefits were suggested to be explored in line with their magnitude of importance.Comparative case studies were used conventionally to collect the data for measuring these benefits. This has since shifted to conducting case studies of single BIM projects along with supplementary data collection for counterfactual assessment. Furthermore, predictive ex-ante studies are currently blooming. At present, ongoing studies are being conducted to demonstrate thedetailed technique with which to calculate and measure the benefits of BIM.This paper providesresearchers and analysts with initial insights that can be used to move forward with BIM benefit measurements.
