“…Islam and Aldaihani (2022) further suggested that this approach is suitable in a context when there is an inadequate theory, whereby in this case where there is a lack of studies on the implementation of BIMFM particularly among digital construction professionals in Malaysia. Similar methodology which is qualitative studies through interviews were conducted in BIM studies in the past, by Alreshidi et al (2017) to identify factors for effective BIM governance; Aziz and Zainon (2022) in exploring lean-BIM driving factors in Malaysia; Li et al (2019) interviewed stakeholders in refining critical factors for BIM adoption; and Wang et al (2018)'s studies on FM team involvement in BIM environment. The qualitative interview technique adopted was proven to be reliable as the aim of the past studies were also to obtain in-depth information, whilst getting flexibility to clarify information.…”

Purpose This study aims to leverage the implementation of building information modelling (BIM) in facilities management (FM), and thus the integration of BIM and FM are explored. It looks at identifying the information needed to implement BIM application in FM, to determine the level of implementation of BIMFM as well as to recommend BIMFM application mapping for building life cycle. Design/methodology/approach This study applied qualitative methodology, upon which a purposive sampling to 16 interviewees were conducted among professionals involved in any BIM, FM, BIMFM projects. Final analysis was conducted using thematical analysis by ATLAS.ti software. Findings The types of information required to implement BIMFM range from managerial information, commercial information, technical information and all full life cycle data. The implementation of BIMFM is agreed as beneficial, as it builds up efficiency of building performance, able to close gap of loses information, helps to improve FM in terms of data management, mitigates the problems, identifies priority defects and to enhance the FM processes. Respondents also believed that the causes where there is no implementation of BIMFM is in the situations where things are in order and when it becomes very expensive. Originality/value This paper has managed to gather the essential elements toward leveraging the implementation of BIMFM in digital construction project which are in the means of information types, the needs of BIMFM implementation and towards the end drawing the BIMFM implementation plan framework that could be used as a reference for the practitioners and industry.

“…Increasingly, studies demonstrate BIM as an enabler for Lean construction (Peiris et al , 2022). Studies have demonstrated the application of lean construction and advanced digital technologies, particularly BIM, to improve project quality, productivity and performance (Aziz and Zainon, 2022). Technologies such as BIM as an innovative digital technology, point cloud scanning and virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) installation equipment have a major impact on how construction projects are delivered (Enshassi et al , 2018).…”

Purpose This study aims to improve a construction company's overall project delivery by utilising lean six sigma (LSS) methods combined with building information modelling (BIM) to design, modularise and manufacture various building elements in a controlled factory environment off-site. Design/methodology/approach A case study in a construction company utilised lean six sigma (LSS) methodology and BIM to identify non-value add waste in the construction process and improve sustainability. Findings An Irish-based construction company manufacturing modular pipe racks for the pharmaceutical industry utilised LSS to optimise and standardise their off-site manufacturing (OSM) partners process and leverage BIM to design skids which could be manufactured offsite and transported easily with minimal on-site installation and rework required. Productivity was improved, waste was reduced, less energy was consumed, defects were reduced and the project schedule for completion was reduced. Research limitations/implications The case study was carried out on one construction company and one construction product type. Further case studies would ensure more generalisability. However, the implementation was tested on a modular construction company, and the methods used indicate that the generic framework could be applied and customized to any offsite company. Originality/value This is one of the few studies on implementing offsite manufacturing (OSM) utilising LSS and BIM in an Irish construction company. The detailed quantitative benefits and cost savings calculations presented as well as the use of the LSM methods and BIM in designing an OSM process can be leveraged by other construction organisations to understand the benefits of OSM. This study can help demonstrate how LSS and BIM can aid the construction industry to be more environmentally friendly.

“…Achieving the synthesis between BIM and lean through using BIM technology functionalities in implementing L.C. management strategies contributes to reducing wastes that occur throughout the construction project’s operations and tasks (Aziz and Zainon, 2022; Eldeep et al , 2022). Lean waste factors include design defects, unanticipated design changes while being carried out, time waste, inventory, overproduction, extra processing and unutilized resources (Rossi et al , 2022).…”

Purpose The construction industry sector is developing rapidly, especially with the increasing pace of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in this sector. Construction projects can benefit from greater integration and collaboration between their technologies and processes to reap the advantages and keep pace with the recent significant technological and managerial techniques developments. Therefore, this study aims to delve into and investigate building information modeling (BIM) and Lean Construction (L.C.) with a concentration on the potential BIM–lean interactions synergy and integration in the Jordanian construction industry. Design/methodology/approach This study takes exploratory nature, followed by the deductive research approach, and is designed to be a mono-quantitative research methodology. Moreover, the sampling technique is non-probability convenience sampling, and the research strategy is implemented through a questionnaire used and analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science to conduct descriptive and inferential statistical analysis and verify the reliability and validity through proper tests. Findings The BIM–lean interactions synergy and integration findings revealed that eliminating waste (time, cost, resources), promoting continuous improvement (Kaizen) and standardizing as lean construction principles are the most significant and agreeable toward achieving BIM–lean interactions synergy. On the other hand, “High 3D Visualization Modelling” was the most significant BIM function, followed by “Rapid and Auto-Generation of Documents and Multiple Design Alternatives” and “Maintenance of Information and Design Model Integrity.” Moreover, based on the relative importance index (RII) values, “Lack of Technical Expertise in BIM-LEAN” is the most significant challenge with a 0.89 value of RII, followed by “Lack of Government Direction and Standard Guidelines” with a 0.88 value of RII and “Financial considerations” with a 0.83 value of RII. Originality/value This study will help provide a new detailed overview that investigates the effects and expected benefits of integrating BIM processes and technological functionalities with lean construction principles within a synergetic environment. Moreover, the study will increase the awareness of using new technologies and management approaches in the architectural, engineering and construction industry, seeking to achieve integration between these technologies to reach ideal results in terms of the outputs of construction operations.
