“…Prakash and Ambekar's interview (2020) with some practitioners suggested that the flexibility of traditional contracts is still vital in some cases. On the other hand, in Sonmez et al 's survey (2022) on the payment management system they designed, construction practitioners pointed out the lack of legal as well as accounting infrastructure to implement it. Furthermore, Pradeep et al (2020) discussed that the legal environment for smart contracts in the construction industry had not been experimented with, that the proofs claimed by BIMCHAIN are not acceptable in court, and that the automated processes necessitate legally recognised entities to be held accountable (McNamara and Sepasgozar, 2021).…”

“…Discussion regarding this dimension was also minimal, with most of the results coming from interviews with practitioners. This might be related to the lack of adoption within the industry, considering the immaturity of existing applications and thus unable to determine the adaptations and attitudes of the participants during implementation (Li and Kassem, 2019; McNamara and Sepasgozar, 2020; Prakash and Ambekar, 2020; Sonmez et al , 2022). Furthermore, the sample size of the studies based on a phenomenological approach might be insufficient to reflect the truth (Prakash and Ambekar, 2020).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the current state of research on the integration of blockchain and building information modelling (BIM) in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) industry as a means of identifying gaps between the existing paradigm and practical applications for determining future research directions and improving the industry. The study aims to provide clear guidance on areas that need attention for further research and funding and to draw academic attention to factors beyond the technical dimension. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-method systematic review is used, considering multiple literature types and using a sociotechnical perspective-based framework that covers three dimensions (technic, process and context) and three research elements (why, what and how). Data are retrieved and analysed from the Web of Science and Scopus databases for the 2017–2023 period. Findings While blockchain has the potential to address security, traceability and transparency and complement the system by integrating supporting applications, significant gaps still exist between these potentials and widespread industry adoption. Current limitations and further research needs are identified, including designing fully integrated prototypes, empirical research to identify operational processes, testing and analysing operational-level models or applications and developing and applying a technology acceptance model for the integration paradigm. Previous research lacks contextual settings, real-world tests or empirical investigations and is primarily conceptual. Originality/value This paper provides a comprehensive, critical systematic review of the integration of blockchain with BIM in the construction industry, using a sociotechnical perspective-based framework which can be applied in future reviews. The study provides insight into the current state and future opportunities for policymakers and practitioners in the AECO industry to prepare for the transition in this disruptive paradigm. It also provides a phased plan along with a clear direction for the transition to more advanced applications.

“…According to Singh (2002), the management of D&B construction projects involves various stages and contract administration activities. These activities (Figure 1) can be divided into tasks during the pre-contract and post-contract stages.…”

“…As mentioned, this key document describes the "term of reference" related to the client's needs involving BIM working processes from the project initiation until the close-out phase. Literature on the common contract administration practices in a BIM-based project and the theoretical underpinning of D&B stages and activities by Singh (2002) were based upon in exploring the current uses in real project execution. This research conceptualises contract administration activities at the pre-contract and post-contract stages as the primary themes, and the findings discuss the subsequent categories, revealing the emerging activities from the phenomenon under investigation.…”

“…The update and tracking of the work sequences can be done using a simulation process, which can assist all parties in improving the site coordination and as a solution to minimise any delay activities that might impact the project completion (Porwal and Hewage, 2013; Charehzehi et al , 2017; Ahmadi and Arashpour, 2020; Guévremont and Hammad, 2021) Another essential element is the administration of claim and progress payment, particularly the importance of integrating cost management with 4D BIM scheduling to monitor the periodic payment processes paid to contractors (Chong et al , 2017; Khosrowshahi, 2017). Other researchers (Pittard and Sell, 2016; Sonmez et al , 2022) have discussed the need to change the conventional procedures in carrying out inspections, records and reporting the project documentation, which can be done systematically via BIM integration.…”

Purpose The era of digital construction, including building information modelling (BIM), has placed a high demand for a seamless collaboration of people, technology and processes in meeting a project delivery. The project actors involved in a BIM process must ensure compliance with all regulations and contractual requirements from inception. While many studies have disclosed the various contractual implications arising from BIM implementation, little has been examined on the current state of BIM in contract administration practice, particularly in the Malaysian construction industry. This study aims to explore the current state of BIM implementation with specific reference to a design-and-build construction project. Design/methodology/approach The exploratory case study involved the construction of a public complex. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with the project actors, and document analysis was performed on the project’s contractual guidelines to derive the findings. Findings Findings from the thematic analysis revealed the following five sequences of activities that guided the contract administration practices, particularly during the pre-contract and post-contract stages of a BIM-based construction project: project inception, tendering phase, detailed design, construction and preparation for the handing over phase. Most of the activities were conducted to deliver the final BIM outputs successfully. Nevertheless, some shortcomings were noted in the project monitoring, the validation process of the BIM deliverables and the BIM players’ competency level in fulfilling the specified BIM contractual requirements. Practical implications The study contributes to a practical understanding of how BIM can affect project administration and how a public client can improve contractual risk allocation in future BIM implementation. Originality/value This paper discloses the current practices of contract administration to better understand the impacts of BIM management during the pre-contract and post-contract stages of a BIM-based construction project.
