“…There are various systems for defining maturity levels in BIM use (Chong et al 2016), each with unique areas of emphasis, strengths, weaknesses and/ or specifically designed for a certain group of BIM users (Liang et al 2016;Wu et al 2017) -yet, curiously there is no universally accepted system (Wu et al 2017). BIM implementation can occur in three consecutive evolutionary stages as asserted by Succar (2009): stage 1 -object-based modelling; stage 2 -model-based modeling; and stage 3 -materialization of network-oriented integration.…”

“…As BIM increasingly gains popularity, numerous construction clients are desirous to explore and profit from BIM's acclaimed benefits accrued during the production and operation of a building or infrastructure asset (Chong et al 2016;Zhang et al 2018). This growth has been fortified by industry reports that claim that most owners in the US (69%) and UK (80%) are positive in their overall assessment of BIM .…”

“…While BIM is a disruptive technological innovation (Cao et al 2014;Poirier et al 2015), the term 'BIM use' refers to both BIM adoption and implementation in understanding BIM execution features (Chong et al 2016). Hence, studying the behaviors of SMEs towards BIM use must consider all influential external and internal motivators acting upon a firm (Tulubas Gokuc and Arditi 2017).…”

“…The term 'BIM use' captures the status of BIM execution on construction projects, covering an entire range (Chong et al 2016). Various levels are deployed to represent the gradual use of BIM from its entry-level (basic form in adoption point) to the most complex, namely, fully integrated form (ACIF and APCC 2017;McCuen et al 2012).…”

Roadmap to Mature BIM Use in Australian SMEs: Competitive Dynamics Perspective

et al. 2018

This research explores and reports upon the scale of BIM implementation maturity (from nonadoption to full-scale deployment) within Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating within the Australian construction industry. The research utilizes a Competitive Dynamics Perspective (CDP) as the theoretical lens and analyses data collected from 135 SMEs using Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) to provide a richer insight into levels of BIM implementation maturity. Findings reveal that there is no meaningful association between BIM implementation maturity within SMEs and their organizational attributes (such as size and level of experience). Additionally, lack of solid evidence to support a reasonable return on investment (ROI) was found to be the key barrier to using BIM in higher levels of maturity. In practical terms, the study focuses upon pertinent issues associated with mandated BIM in Australia from SMEs' perspective, pointing out potential consequences, and challenging the pressure for mandating. The research concludes by providing pragmatic recommendations designed to accelerate the pace that Australian SMEs move across a BIM trajectory from non-adopters to higher levels of maturity.

Vilventhan, A., Rajadurai, R (2018). "Application of 4D Bridge information model as a lean tool for bridge infrastructure projects: A case study ". In: Proc. 26 th Annual Conference of the International. Group for Lean Construction (IGLC), González, V.A. (ed.), Chennai, India, pp. 1229-1239 ABSTRACTConstruction projects require the coordination of multiple organizations. The production flow of these projects is often hampered through sources of wastes such as improper utilization of the skills of the labours and lack of coordination with the multiple organizations involved in these projects. Bridge information modelling provides a powerful platform for visualizing work flow and collaboration between organizations throughout the life cycle of the project. In this paper, 4D bridge information models for a concrete bridge (flyover) construction project was built through integrating 3D BrIM model with the schedule. The developed 4D bridge information model enabled value addition through improved visualization, co-ordination and communication among project participants. This study provides a practical contribution by showing that project stakeholders can use 4D BrIM models as a lean tool to prevent undesirable situations and reduce the overruns, rework and improve the effective utilisation of labours in Bridge construction projects.
