“…Within their research, Tan et al (2021) found that although MCDM techniques with BIM have been growing applied (exponentially in fact) since 2009, they tend to have been typically focused on applying the methodology more often at a limited operational level due to difficulties in areas such as 3D modelling data and issues with 'information uncertainty' (Volk, et al 2014). Further, application has tended to be reoccurring in common focal areas such as optimising maintenance regimes (Chou, 2008), selecting construction materials (Lin et al, 2008) and supply chain assessment (Marzouk, 2010), which in fact limits the ability to apply more beneficial focus on the varied opportunities.…”

“…Jato-Espino et al (2014) have developed this further by stating that decision making directly in regard to construction is 'a key factor to achieve success in any discipline' and more so in respect to those that are 'handling large amounts of information' through data management, optimising process selection and responding to the complexity of multiple disciplines becoming coordinated with a unified objective. Furthermore, and most recently, a paper produced by Tan et al (2021) on the subject of current uses of MCDM alongside BIM states that an 'integrated decision-making approach' is the optimum way to target and increase the likelihood of achieving BIM objectives being realised, which involves rationalising data, ousting the 'potential ability' of targeted information management among key stakeholders (client, project managers, BIM managers, task team members etc.) and thusly reducing typical BIM 'adoption issues' (Pidgeon and Dawood, 2021).…”

Existing research spanning academic and industrial literature shows that due to the ever-increasing number of descriptions of BIM on top of a saturation of standards methods and procedures, with little evidence on how to achieve goals for truly collaborative BIM, a gap is forming between theoretical and applied BIM, and thusly reducing the potential advantages and benefits of implemented BIM. Objectives set as part of this research, post systematic review of both academic and industrial literature were to firstly define a common meaning of what collaborative BIM is through the development of a syntax to support a hypothetical infrastructure project utilising academic and industry BIM experts. This was then followed by bringing to the front the inefficiencies in their current form and define how the fundamental parts of BIM are assigned and then prioritised both qualitatively and quantitively, in order to enhance information clarity (goals and objective achievement) and inconsistency reduction towards better ways of implementation. Conclusive findings derived from this research states that information management was determined by the focus group in being the key and top-level component in achieving collaborative BIM, which was determined via the contribution and development of an objective focused implementation framework adapted from the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). This methodology increases the certainty of goal attainment for project team members, by presenting them with a dynamic qualitative and quantitative methodology that guides, determines and agrees the objective focus in an adaptable method through focal clarity of the intended use and what is required to be achieved through the adoption of collaborative BIM for a range of stakeholders. In summary, the research findings herein assert the need and benefit of objectifying collectively agreed focus on the desire of collaborative BIM including a range of stakeholders. Furthermore, inconsistencies towards agreements of standardisation and quality assurance are revealed, which is countered and supported by the developed novel methodology, in order to reduce the impact of such lack of consensus going forwards towards seeking better understanding and thus implementation of collaborative BIM.

In the digital age, retailers face umpteen challenges, finding it increasingly difficult to fulfil the customer requirements. Studying the most trusted online stores in Romania, the authors aimed to identify the opportunities and the challenges for retailers in the connected consumer’ journey, analyzing the page load speed of the in-between touchpoints in the pre-check-out phase on smartphones. In this regard, comparative analysis and content analysis were performed, taking into consideration eight performance indicators, namely, first content paint, first input delay, largest contentful paint, cumulative layout shift, performance score, speed index, time to interactive, and total blocking time. Three platforms were used to run the tests, the generated data allowing the identification of the necessary enhancements to ensure a continuous consumer journey. The study revealed that the selected in-between touchpoints need major improvements to provide a satisfying consumer experience on a smartphone. The scientific contribution of this article consists of presenting 14 opportunities designed for retailers. By implementing them, for every 0.1 s saved, the conversion rate can increase by 8% due to emotional mitigation with technological performance improvements. The page speed shapes the customer journey, the retailers gaining the users’ trust by avoiding a long waiting time between the touchpoints.

Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) is an emerging concept introduced from the manufacturing sector to transform the construction industry and accelerating "off-site" capabilities. Enhancing the sustainability of DfMA is challenging and requires accounting for various environmental and managerial impacts on the process of manufacture and assembly, especially for the parametric buildings with irregular shapes and unstandardised components. It is essential to compare and make decisions among design alternatives for the best-fit sustainability in the DfMA process. However, there is presently a gap in the DfMA field. This paper proposed a novel BIM-enabled Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method for the sustainability assessment of parametric faç ade design. An under-construction parametric building was used to test and illustrate the method. A parametric faç ade was selected to demonstrate the application of DfMA to enable mass "off-site" customisation. This is a labour-intensive assembly process, which could significantly benefit from the implementation of such a method. Data collection involves archival data and semi-structured interviews. An integrated fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS was used to analysis the data. This research sheds new lights on DfMA sustainability and its decision support systems. Unlike the usual attention to the construction sustainability of on-site construction, the method involves consideration of both manufacture and assembly stages. It provides practitioners with a decision-making method to select the most sustainable faç ade alternative available for the parametric design. The findings carry implications for parametric faç ade design and show the deployment of mass customised unstandardised components. This research opens up new avenues for sustainable DfMA development.
