The research study aims to explore and assess the critical success factors (CSFs) that can amplify the integration of building information modeling (BIM) and sustainability practices in construction projects. Delphi survey technique was employed to solicit the perceptions of experts on the 30 identified CSFs by means of a two‐round Delphi survey. The expert panel responses were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The key drivers identified in the study are related to people‐centric, and data and technology‐centric interventions in the built environment. Crucial deductions were formed on the basis of a comparative analysis of the expert groups. The study's findings have provided valuable lessons for local authorities, policymakers, and project stakeholders to strengthen the drive for achieving full adoption of green BIM initiatives. The study has also provided effective recommendations for increasing the uptake of BIM and sustainability practices in the construction industry, and has contributed to the existing body of knowledge about smart urbanization and hands‐on practice in the built environment.

Construction engineering and management ͑CEM͒ researchers often rely on alternative research techniques when traditional methods fail. For example, surveys, interviews, and group-brainstorming techniques may not be appropriate for research that involves confounding factors and requires access to sensitive data. In such an environment, the Delphi technique allows researchers to obtain highly reliable data from certified experts through the use of strategically designed surveys. At present, the Delphi method has not seen widespread use in CEM research. This is likely due to variation among studies that implement Delphi in CEM research and ambiguity in literature that provides guidance for the specific parameters associated with the method. Using the guidance in this paper, the reader may: ͑1͒ understand the merits, appropriate application, and appropriate procedure of the traditional Delphi process; ͑2͒ identify and qualify potential expert panelists according to objective guidelines; ͑3͒ select the appropriate parameters of the study such as the number of panelists, number of rounds, type of feedback, and measure of consensus; ͑4͒ identify potential biases that may negatively impact the quality of the results; and ͑5͒ appropriately structure the surveys and conduct the process in such a way that bias is minimized or eliminated.

“…One major advantage of AHP is that it can convert a particular subject that is intangible and difficult to quantify into quantified and tangible values by using a systematic approach (Hyun et al 2008). To assist in the decision making on these complicated issues, the AHP considers the tradeoffs and evaluates the level of relative importance among various factors related to the issues using pairwise comparison (Khasnabis et al 2002;Shapira and Goldenberg 2005).…”

Abstract. The Delphi method has been used as a main research method by a growing number of researchers in the Construction Engineering and Management (CEM) field in the past two decades. Although a number of studies are available on the use of Delphi, few researchers fully examine the potential of the Delphi method in the combined use of statistical techniques, which is an inevitable trend for future Delphi research. This paper aims to review the combined use of Delphi and other quantitative methods in the CEM field based on a structured literature review of 88 relevant papers. All of the 88 papers are systematically identified from ten well-known peer-reviewed CEM journals published in the period of 1990-2012. Topic coverage, application requirements, and statistical techniques in the 88 Delphi papers are reviewed. The mix use of the Delphi method with three advanced modelling methods, such as Fuzzy Sets, Analytical Hierarchy Process, and Analytical Network Process is also examined. These review results provide practical references for researchers having interests in applying Delphi method in CEM research.Keywords: Delphi method; Construction engineering and management research; Quantitative perspective; Review IntroductionThe Delphi method is a structured communication and consensus building approach amongst a group of experts on a complex problem (Chan et al. 2001). This method refers to an iterative process where consensus is often reached through rounds of feedbacks of experts' opinion and judgment on a particular subject (Hallowell and Gambatese 2010b). Although sometimes the reliability of the findings derived from a Delphi study may raise some controversy because of the inappropriate design and execution of the Delphi study, such as shortcomings of the survey instrument, poor choice of experts, weak bias control, unreliable analyses, and limited feedback during the study (Gupta and Clarke 1996;Keeney et al. 2001), the Delphi method remains a particularly useful alternative for the situation when objective data are unattainable, there is a lack of empirical evidence, or experimental research is unrealistic or unethical (Hallowell and Gambatese 2010b).As an established profession in the construction industry, CEM is a practice-driven field in nature. Many research questions in this field need to address the impacts of individuals, organizations and the society on construction management activities, particularly those on planning, forecasting and decision making activities (Fellows and Liu 2009). The key to resolve these problems should draw upon the collective knowledge and experience of selected experts in a given area. By contrast to other methods such as interviews, Delphi provides a more reliable and efficient alternative for solving these problems with high uncertainty (Chan et al. 2001). Therefore, a growing number of researchers have adopted Delphi method in CEM research since the early 1990s (Hallowell and Gambatese 2010b).Although many researchers regard Delphi as a qualitative method (Hasson et ...
