“…The construction business is project based and the project itself is temporary and unique. Thus, project teams, processes, tools and applications, and business models are crucial for project success (Hartmann et al 2008;Ilozor and Kelly 2012;Kent and Becerik-Gerber 2010;Staub-French and Khanzode 2007;Tsai, Kang, and Hsieh 2010;Tsai et al forthcoming). On the other hand, when an organization seeks to attain high business performance against competitors within the industry, the principle of organizational effectiveness is crucial.…”

“…A myriad of BIM benefits to the industry have been reported, such as accurate geometry of a building information model, better customer services, reduction in design errors, reduction in project time and cost, better production quality and lifecycle data management, and overall positive return on BIM investment (Azhar 2011;Barlish and Sullivan 2012;Eastman et al 2011;Giel and Issa 2011;McGraw-Hill Construction 2009). However, the adoption of technology has been confronted by both technical and non-technical issues, for instance, among technical issues: software interoperability and computable digital data, and non-technical issues: strategies, workflows, resistance to change, contracts, legal issues, and project delivery (AIA IPD 2007;Arayici et al 2011;Azhar 2011;Becerik-Gerber and Kensek 2010;Gu and London 2010;Ilozor and Kelly 2012;Kent and Becerik-Gerber 2010). Additionally, deploying BIM technology motivates significant changes in widely adopted business practices in the industry (Eastman et al 2011;Smith and Tardif 2009).…”

There is no clear holistic approach or methodology to assess the adoption of building information modeling (BIM) technology at corporate level. This paper proposes an approach for developing critical success factors (CSFs) that can be further developed for assessment of BIM adoption at organizational level in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. This first part of the paper presents an overview and literature review of important factors related to decision-making, technology implementation, or both aspects for an organization to adopt BIM technology. Then, discussions are given on the empirical approach proposed for developing CSFs through a questionnaire survey and a sequence of data analysis, a conceptual framework on BIM technology adoption developed to facilitate the questionnaire survey and BIM adoption assessment, and a questionnaire designed with 123 influencing factors (IFs) identified from the literature and domain experts. For the purpose of demonstration and validation of the proposed approach, this study conducted a survey in Taiwan's AEC industry, and the data collected were examined by reliability and ranking analysis, including inferential statistical tests. Ranking analysis was employed to obtain 80 key factors (KFs) out of the 123 IFs. Among these KFs, three factors were found to be the most important: 'support from top management' and the 'functionality' and 'design validation' of BIM tools; two factors were found to be very important: 'the definition of project goals before forming teams' and 'coordination and integration among the professions.' Other findings are that owners perceive the 'initial investment cost' of BIM tools as more expensive than do the owners-cum-managers who manage projects themselves. Architects seem to find 'LOD 300' and 'LOD 400' more important than contractors. Further data analysis on the 80 KFs for developing CSFs for BIM adoption assessment will be presented in the second part of the paper, and finally, 58 CSFs are derived. Based on this study, the proposed approach is not only generally applicable for CSFs development in regions other than Taiwan, but also capable of handling the small number of questionnaire respondents commonly encountered in a society still at an early stage of BIM technology adoption.

“…Given the expense of capital improvement projects, especially those that are structural in nature, involving end users of the space in the design decision-making process not only has the potential to improve their outlook and experiences within that space but may also be more fiscally responsible (Brown, 2009). Current literature suggests that by employing an integrated project delivery (IPD) approach, one in which representatives from all project stakeholder groups contribute to the planning process, may contribute positively to not only capital improvement team dynamics but also to project development and cost efficiencies (Ilozor & Kelly, 2012 Involving end users of the space in the design decision-making process through focus group listening sessions (Brown, 2009;Ilozor & Kelly, 2012).…”

The Veteran's Administration (VA), recognizing the potential influence that nurturing interior environments may have on patient well-being, has been designing and constructing mental health settings intended to calm, restore, and revive. Unfortunately, limited research investigates the links between the interior environment and mental health outcomes that can be used for guiding the design for these facilities. This paper seeks to provide a framework for designing person-centered mental health interiors that would be supportive of human factors for a healthcare organization's clinical and operational staff as well as Veterans. The framework is intended to assist healthcare providers in achieving mental health aims through thoughtful, evidence-based, person-centered design. Based on a review of the literature and case study investigations of three VA acute inpatient mental health units in the United States, the framework is comprised of six domains: Involve, Protect, Engage, Comfort, Personalize, and Sustain. These domains, informed by existing credible research and best practices, were vetted through post-hoc analysis of qualitative data gathered from interviews, focus groups, and/or listening sessions conducted with the three sites. The resultant Framework for Designing Person-Centered Mental Health Interiors for Veterans, developed based on the data and methodologies used in conducting this study, is meant as a complementary resource for informing future research, planning, design, and operation of acute inpatient mental health spaces. The research team's aim was to develop an accessible set of evidence-based environmental planning considerations to aid in the prioritization and development of person-centered mental health environments.

“…This primarily stems from the dominance of traditional methods and lack of attention to embracing the advantages of information communication technology (ICT) in delivering construction projects (Alaghbandrad et al, 2012;Ghoddousi and Hosseini, 2012). In recent years, BIM has emerged as a new methodology, which promises to increase the level of productivity and efficiency in the construction context (Ilozor and Kelly, 2012). Such diverse capabilities of BIM in terms of enhancing performance and productivity have been acknowledged in seminal studies in the construction field (Azhar, 2011;Sun et al, 2015).…”

BIM has received considerable attention from academics and innovative construction companies in recent years within the Iranian context. However, there is a conspicuous lack of studies, which give a picture of the current state of BIM in Iran. To address this gap in the body of the knowledge, this study intends to present an account on the current state of BIM with a focus on barriers and drivers associated with its adoption in Iran based on the perceptions of Iranian construction practitioners. Drawing upon a questionnaire survey completed by 44 construction practitioners and through deploying data visualization alongside statistical analyses, it came to light that industry practitioners in Iran are inexperienced as to BIM's use and the level of BIM implementation in the country is at the lowest level of BIM maturity. That is, 29.5% of construction companies are involved in some level of BIM adoption whereas 56.8% have had no exposure to BIM and 36.4% do not even have any plans to adopt BIM in the near future. The findings also showed that the highest ranked barriers to adoption of BIM in Iran are almost entirely associated with the structure of the Iranian market, the nature of the construction industry and the predominant business environment in the country as well as lack of attention by policy makers and the government. On the other hand, major drivers were found to be associated with monetary gains and enhancing competitiveness in the market. The clear message is that widespread adoption of BIM in Iran will not occur in the absence of a supportive regulatory environment and financial assistance by policy makers. The paper contributes to the field by sharing the preliminary findings of the first study conducted on BIM adoption in Iran, which provides a sound basis for further inquiries on the topic.
