“…For example, Chen et al (2018) incorporated cloud computing and BIM to enable the real-time collection, communication and visualization of information across the processes of production, transportation and on-site assembly for prefabricated construction. Planning and design can be highly integrated with the construction phase through BIM adoption, especially in IPD. Keywords including communication, optimization, algorithm and constructability were found highly connected to planning and design, indicating that BIM had large potential in assisting project planning, optimize construction activities, as well as enhancing the communication among project participants (Faghihi et al , 2016; Jian, 2017). Keywords including visualization, construction safety, scheduling, 4D and construction planning were found strongly connected to each other within the same cluster.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to summarize the latest research of BIM adoption in construction engineering and management (CEM) and propose research directions for future scholarly work. During the recent decade, building information modeling (BIM) has gained increasing applications and research interest in the construction industry. Although there have been review-based studies that summarized BIM-based research in the overall architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) area, there is limited review that evaluates the current stage of BIM-based research specifically in the CEM sub-area. Design/methodology/approach CEM falls into the scope of AEC. It involves construction-related tasks, activities and processes (e.g. scheduling and cost estimates), issues (e.g. constructability), as well as human factors (e.g. collaboration). This study adopted a holistic literature review approach that incorporates bibliometric search and scientometric analysis. A total of 276 articles related to BIM applied in CEM were selected from Scopus as the literature sample for the scientometric analysis. Findings Some key CEM research areas (e.g. CEM pedagogy, integrated project delivery, lean and off-site construction) were identified and evaluated. Research trends in these areas were identified, and analyses were carried out with regard to how they could be integrated with BIM. For example, BIM, as a data repository for ACE facilities, has substantial potential to be integrated with a variety of other digital technologies, project delivery methods and innovative construction techniques throughout the whole process of CEM. Practical implications As BIM is one of the key technologies and digital platforms to improve the construction productivity and collaboration, it is important for industry practitioners to be updated of the latest movement and progress of the academic research. The industry, academics and governmental authorities should work with joint effort to fill the gap by first recognizing the current needs, limitations and trends of applying BIM in the construction industry. For example, it needs more understanding about how to address technical interoperability issues and how to introduce the integrated design and construction delivery approach for BIM implementation under the UK BIM Level 2/3 framework. Originality/value This study contributed to the body of knowledge in BIM by proposing a framework leading to research directions including the differences of BIM effects between design-bid-build and other fast-track project delivery methods; the integration of BIM with off-site construction; and BIM pedagogy in CEM. It also addressed the need to investigate the similarities and differences between academia and industry toward perceiving the movement of BIM in construction field work.

“…A great improvement in performance and productivity has been achieved through the application of Concurrent Engineering where all life cycle stages of a product are considered simultaneously, from the conceptual stage through to the detailed design stage (Love and Gunasekaran, 1997). Pareto analysis is an effective lean tool which is successfully used in optimizing time, cost, hazards and job-site movements in construction project (Faghihi et al , 2016). McAdam et al (2000) stated that the company which adopted a culture of Continuous Improvement could provide with a solid foundation on which it can build a culture of effective business innovation and effective management system.…”

PurposeConstruction management is enriched in many ways by direct and indirect support of lean construction concept. The objectives of this study are to assess the current level of awareness about lean construction practice, to identify the potential benefits and challenges to implement lean construction in the Bangladeshi construction industry and to prioritize them.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive literature review has been done to design a questionnaire for the survey. The final questionnaire has been designed with 27 lean tools, 41 challenges, and seven benefits of implementing lean principles in the construction industry. A total of 164 valid responses have been collected from Bangladeshi construction practitioners involved in different types of construction organizations. The result has been analyzed by Relative Important Index (RII).FindingsThe findings revealed 41 challenges to implement lean construction with seven benefits in the Bangladeshi construction industry. The result shows that an appreciable number of respondent familiar with the techniques of lean construction but they don't practice. The findings have also pointed out that the lean construction approach adds a positive impact especially on quality, safety, cost, productivity, and environmental level. The top-ranked challenges to implementing lean construction are: lack of awareness and skill, poor management, traditional culture and attitude of employees, inadequate resources and equipment and nonuse of modern techniques and technologies.Originality/valueThis study reveals real scenario of lean construction in Bangladesh. It contributes to the body of knowledge, as it uncovers for the first time the awareness level, benefits and challenges to implement lean construction with reference to the social, economic and cultural context of Bangladesh. Exploring the findings, the study could help the stakeholders, construction firms, academician, researchers and government to focus their effort and resources on the significantly appropriate issues. Again, the study may be beneficial to developing countries especially in South Asia which share the same socio-economic status with Bangladesh.

“…The research category "construction and project management" (RC6) is the most trending BIM sub-field (with 78 articles) among the ten identified research categories, and it also has the highest number of research areas with 18 themes as seen in Tables 5 and 6. Trending topics in this field include RC6.1 -"construction planning and monitoring" (Faghihi et al 2016;Kim et al 2014; RC6.2 -"schedule optimization" (Altaf et al 2014;Chen et al 2013;Faghihi et al 2014;Gelisen, Griffis 2014;Kang et al 2016;Liu et al 2015a;Moon et al 2014;Tserng et al 2014;Wang et al 2014a); RC6.3 -"BIM governance platform" (Dossick, Neff 2010;Farr et al 2014;Knight 2008); RC6.4 -"Material management & quality assessment" (Chen, Luo 2014;Francom, El Asmar 2015;Kim et al 2015e), and RC6.5 -"Waste management" (Akinade et al 2015;Liu et al 2015c;Porwal, Hewage 2012;.…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes have continued to gain relevance in the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry with more resources directed toward it. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 445 BIM articles to investigate and understand the pattern of BIM research which include defining BIM research categories, evaluating the project sectors that are influenced by BIM, and tracking the funding structure of BIM research. A network map that displays a visualization of the structure of BIM literature by research origin, funding structure and geographical scope was designed. None of the previous reviews of literature analyzed the BIM articles’ corpus to such level and depth. The findings revealed research categories such as construction and project management and BIM learning, adoption & practice as the core research areas in BIM and highlighted trending research themes in BIM research. Authors based in Asia and Europe received more research grants than their counterparts in other regions; likewise, two-third of the articles was authored by academics in the United States, Korea, and the United Kingdom. The study provides its readers with relevant research areas that require considerations, and the discussion of selected research areas provides an extensive understanding of salient BIM fields.
