“…Publications within the Generic category include works such as Ullah et al [16], who describe how public authorities are approaching BIM adoption, underlining planning strategies and steps of implementation. In addition, Kim et al [17] explore the impacts of the lack of data in public organisations; Abdirad and Dossick [43] draw a map for collecting data through BIM in the management phase of two large public owners in the U.S; a similar approach, discussed from the point of view of public actors in general, is given by Brunet et al [45], who define a methodological approach for taking advantages of BIM for asset management purposes.…”

“…Previous studies in this area have focused mainly on applying building information modelling in the FM field in general [16][17][18], approaching the subject from a practical point of view [19][20][21] and without an in-depth analysis of the public involvement. On the other hand, several researchers investigated BIM-FM adoption, considering both the public and private sectors and discussing the overall implementation status [18,22].…”

A Review of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for Facility Management (FM): Implementation in Public Organisations

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been extensively studied and applied within the AEC sector, particularly in design and construction. In recent years, Facility Management (FM) processes are becoming more digitalised, thus requiring effective BIM-FM integration. BIM adoption in many countries, such as the UK, Italy and Brazil, has been publicly driven. Generally, adoption was targeted at design and construction implementation, with little effort in framing public action for FM implementation. The lack of an integrated approach for BIM-FM implementation resulted in numerous bespoken implementation approaches that mimic the private sector and hinder knowledge exchange. Therefore, there is a need for assessing and amalgamating knowledge about BIM-FM for public organisations. This research aims to leverage knowledge about BIM-FM in the public domain by analysing and classifying articles published between 2010–2021. The research was carried out through a systematic review and comparative thematic analysis investigating the use of BIM for different public buildings (e.g., schools and hospitals) and the implementation for FM purposes. Research results outline prevalent trends and areas of research from three perspectives: people, process and technology. Results show an increasing number of publications about BIM-FM. However, the divide between BIM-FM for public and private organisations is unequal. BIM-FM research for public organisations is still limited and lacks standardisation. This state-of-the-art review makes an incremental contribution to knowledge by identifying progress, gaps and new industry directions on the subject matter.

“…This study found that the “support from top management” and “functionality” of BIM tools are the two most significant factors for BIM adoption among total 58 CSFs [ 82 ]. More recently, Ullah et al [ 83 ] also implemented the Technology Organization and Environment framework to investigate and classify the factors that affect BIM adoption in a contemporary public authority from the literature. However, scant research has been provided to characterize the critical factors of BIM adoption behavior from the perspective of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB).…”

In recent years, building information modeling (BIM) has been receiving growing interest from the construction industry of China. Nevertheless, although BIM has many foreseeable advantages, many studies claimed that these advantages have not been sufficiently achieved in practice at the current stage. In this circumstance, it is interesting to investigate what really drives the adoption of BIM. Based on Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior (TPB), a hypothetical model which involves nine latent variables is initially established. Then, a questionnaire is designed and distributed to the construction professionals in the Chinese context. After reliability and validity analysis, the goodness-of-fit of the initial model and the related theoretical assumptions are tested through structural equation modeling (SEM). Based on the modification indicators, a modified model is finally derived. Results show that economic viability and governmental supervision are the most critical factors that influence construction professionals’ BIM adoption behavior in China, sharing weights of 0.37 and 0.34, respectively, whereas other factors play limited roles in this regard. The research findings revealed from this study can provide insightful references for countries that intend to promote BIM adoption in a similar circumstance.

“…Empirical data on the difference between digital models and construction takeoffs are hard to find and this might be an interesting development for future studies. The spread of BIM is leading to a new digitalized method to archive and process construction permits in cities (Chognard et al., 2018; Noardo et al., 2020; Ullah et al., 2020), including the creation of material passports (Honic et al., 2019). The integration of 3D building models into the administration of the urban form allows for a much greater understanding of the location of material stocks in the context of urban mining (Ghisellini & Ulgiati, 2020; Koutamanis et al., 2018).…”

Clay brick masonry is a vernacular construction technique; it continues to be used extensively in Italy and elsewhere. Despite the essential role clay bricks play in construction, they are often overlooked in the environmental literature, and sound production data are hard to obtain. This study integrates material flow analysis (MFA) and building information modeling (BIM) to assess the quantity and use cases of clay bricks and terracotta tiles used for construction in Italy. Material flows for these products were traced from the supply of raw materials to manufacturing, use, demolition, and waste management in Italy in 2006, 2011, and 2016. 3D representations of typical buildings were drawn in BIM and used to create material intensities to investigate functional uses of bricks. Hollow bricks used as infills in external walls and load‐bearing bricks were the main products manufactured in all three years of analysis, followed by bricks used in internal walls and floor‐forming bricks. In all cases, maintenance and refurbishment of existing buildings was the primary end‐use category. From 2006 to 2016, the Italian brick production shrank fourfold, from 20.6 Tg to 5.1 Tg, while direct carbon dioxide emissions from the calcination of calcium carbonate decreased from 2.4 Tg to 0.5 Tg. Functional recycling is rare, and this poses serious challenges to the circularity of the construction sector. The results demonstrate that the integration of MFA and BIM approaches markedly improves the detail, speed, and realism of quantifying the material flows within the urban environment.
