“…The main drive for adopting BIM, is managing all project documents and stages (i.e. design, planning, and costing) in a single/dynamic context, to secure the proper exploitation of available information [1,49,67]. BIM design elements must contain the required information in various natures, including design or management [13], to acquire smartly-designed elements, rather than traditional 3D components [22,60].…”

“…Despite the undeniable advantages, these methods almost entirely measure physical items and components on construction sites, overlooking the value of activities [77,78]. There are also problems with sharing of acquired control information across the entire project, given that project team members are still dominated by silo thinking [49,50], and information systems loosely coupled [29,71]. An automated process that integrates information of physical components with managerial attributes (such as allocated resources and values), to facilitate controlling cost-time integrated progress can, therefore, provide a solution [38,63].…”

“…Consequently, the work is more often executed by geographically dispersed, digitally mediated teams of knowledge specialists, coming from various firms, yet organised into an IPD team [49,50]. The above facts reinforce the urgency of using web-based platforms.…”

The Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) in integration with Building Information Modelling/Management (BIM) is an optimal approach for delivering construction projects. This is, however fraught with complications, due to the inability of current cost management practices to determine fair risk/reward ratio in IPD arrangements. Previous research has established the advantages of Earned Value Management-based (EVM) method for risk/reward sharing, as well as, how Activity Based Costing (ABC) method can facilitate automating the sharing process. This study proposes an innovative approach to exploit the capabilities of these techniques coupled with BIM in automating/optimising the process of IPD risk/reward sharing. This includes providing mathematical equations for risk/reward sharing and developing a model that strengthens IPD parties' relationships. The process is enhanced through developing an EVM-Web grid that enables the participants to easily track their costs on computers and mobile devices. To demonstrate the applicability and validity of the proposed model, it is applied on a real-life case and displays promising results in terms of flexibility in allocating risk/reward for varying scenarios.

“…An integrated implementation relies on close communications between project participants [15][16][17][18]. With the occurrence of CIM (computer integrated manufacturing) propagation and applications of IT into construction activities [19], the essence of integration has experienced a thorough variation over the past few years [20,21].…”

Building information modeling-based construction networks (BbCNs) are teams from several professional organizations working together to assume building information modeling- (BIM-) related assignments on BIM-enabled projects. With a view to achieving a better understanding of the knowledge domains on integration in BbCNs, a systematic mixed-method review of the relevant studies published from 2008 to 2018 is conducted in this study. An “integration pentagon” made up of context, process, organization, task, and actor is used as a theoretical lens to identify and construct knowledge maps describing the integration in BbCNs. The study conducts a comprehensive review upon a bibliometric analysis based on 1019 researches into BIM and a qualitative analysis of 42 carefully selected researches into integration in BbCNs. The findings confirm that the solutions provided by these researches to support integration in BbCNs are altogether technology oriented. The sociotechnical dimensions including context, organization, task, and actor show limitations. More importantly, the major academic contributions of the study lie in offering an objective and systematic analysis of previous researches, revealing the gaps on integration in BbCNs, and advising researchers in future studies regarding the integration pentagon as an all-inclusive analysis tool. These results highlight the status quo of BbCNs knowledge and serve as a dynamic platform to allow other scholars to perform further developments of integration in BbCNs.
