“…In the study, the four focus groups were relatively homogenous in terms of representative organizations to prevent dominant voices [22] , as participants with relatively homogeneous backgrounds normally have similar perceptions and experiences related to the same topic. Despite its common pitfalls, focus groups provide natural and comfortable atmospheres for participants to discuss specific issues, such as the preparation of BIM technology and identification of stakeholders before BIM technology [25] .Also, focus groups encourage participants to collectively develop ideas and explore specific issues based on their actual experiences related to controlled topics [26] .…”

Abstract. Building Information Model (BIM) is increasingly employed construction project and obtain their support on large scale planning and development projects. Despite its booming development, there is a lack of research on how to prepare BIM technology activities. In order to explore the factors of preparing BIM technology in the construction industry, four focus groups were conducted, each including different stakeholders (e.g., BIM technology organizers, construction professionals, interest groups, and local residents). Seven critical factors for preparing BIM technology were identified into 3 main dimensions: (1) social (e.g., governmental support and bottom-up consultation approaches); (2) project (e.g., project characteristics, BIM technology program, and project information and publicity); and (3) stakeholder (e.g., stakeholder identification and representative sampling). Based on the results of focus groups, we propose several practical recommendations to stimulate active engagement and improve performance of BIM technology, including developing BIM technology guidelines, preparing project information with appropriate language and formatting, and establishing stakeholder identification methods.

“…A previous cost benefit analysis study conducted in a sample BIM project indicated a 6.92% saving of cost [23]. On the other hand, a recent research utilised an energy simulation system with BIM to analyse energy consumption and offer more information for design selection [24].…”

Abstract. The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is known as one of the prominent sectors contributing to economic stability in Indonesia. On the other hand, this sector is also responsible for significant environmental impact in the country. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a key innovative technology enabling advanced management within the construction and civil engineering industries and facilitating improvements in sustainability and asset management across the globe. BIM enables the achievement of three sustainable dimensions which are known as Triple Bottom Line (TBL). However, to enable the construction industry in Indonesia to expand and adopt this new engineering technology, the scarcity of the experts in BIM remains a barrier to initiate the migration from traditional management to BIM. From 40 respondents who participated in this study, only 2 respondents had competence in BIM. However, the awareness rate of Indonesian engineers about BIM is actually quite good with 67.5% of respondents having recognised BIM, although mostly with limited or basic knowledge. This research also defines BIM's impact to sustainability aspects in construction.
