“…Although the project procurement approach has not been mentioned in the previous literatures related to BIM benefit realization, the connection between different stakeholder groups in different 'time' dimension may be affected by different types of procurement method. This is attributed to the collaborative nature of BIM where different procurement methods may achieve different collaboration levels according to the relationships between stakeholders and BIM activities and hence could lead to maximizing BIM benefits [39]. This subtle connection has also been mentioned earlier by Eastman et al, 2011 [37] that some procurement approaches provide better opportunity to leverage BIM technology such as Design and Build (DB) or various types of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) that could maximize BIM benefits through earlier collaboration among stakeholders.…”

Studies related to measuring the benefits of BIM become a new sensation. However, the reported values are highly inconsistent as there are no standards to benchmark the benefits according to different returning values. This paper presents a critical review of various factors that may affect the benefits to be measured from BIM. The review of previous studies aims to propose a novel classification approach for BIM benefits as a theoretical basis for further validation. The objective of this study is to explore BIM benefit returning factors. A total of 17 sources from peer-reviewed journals and various grey literature are included in the review with no time limit. From the underlying theories of Benefit Realisation Management (BRM) and the Benefit Identification Model, it is found that there are several factors that can be used to determine and classify the benefits of BIM for measurement purposes. An ontology of Benefit Determining Factor is proposed consisting of four (4) main dimensions, namely project context, stakeholder, time, and type using thematic analysis. The result is an attempt to make a theoretical breakthrough that introduces the existence of various BIM benefit influencing factors into the body of knowledge. These factors will provide researchers and analysts greater insight into more accurate measurement of BIM outcomes.

“…Implementing BIM faces challenges when using a traditional delivery approach such as design-bid-build, where contractors are not involved in the design stage (Durdyev et al, 2019;Alhusban, 2018). This reduces the efficiency of developing reliable and realistic designs (Abrishami & Martín-Durán, 2021;Salim & Mahjoob, 2020).…”

PurposePrevious studies have established to a great extent that regulatory frameworks and, in particular, procurement approaches – that are common in a particular context – have a major impact on the success of building information modelling (BIM) implementation in construction projects. Despite the close links between these two concepts, research on the effect of procurement approaches on BIM implementation is scarce. To address this gap, this paper aims to investigate the barriers that affect BIM implementation through the lens of procurement approaches.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-method approach was adopted using a questionnaire survey (n = 116) and interviews with key stakeholders (n = 12) in Jordan. The outcomes of the quantitative parts were augmented with findings from interviews.FindingsIt was revealed that the deployment of unfavourable construction procurement approaches represents a major hurdle towards BIM implementation. Though essential for enhancing BIM implementation, it is revealed that a fundamental change from the common design-bid-build (DBB) to more collaborative procurement approaches remains infeasible in view of the realities that govern the construction industry.Research limitations/implicationsIt was revealed the deployment of unfavourable construction procurement approaches represents a major hurdle towards BIM implementation. Though essential for enhancing BIM implementation, it is revealed that a fundamental change from the common DBB to more collaborative procurement approaches remains infeasible given the realities that govern the construction industry.Originality/valueAs the first of its kind, a set of recommendations for establishing supportive, workable procurement that does not deviate significantly from common procedures and practices is presented. Rather than advocating a shift to procurement approaches that are aligned with BIM, the findings offer novel insight into the necessity of developing a framework within the boundaries of the current and widely adopted procurement approaches to address the identified construction procurement issues and facilitate BIM implementation.

“…Documentation clarifies the process of producing and sharing important information during the commissioning period of the infrastructure construction project. The structured set of project documents facilitates the information management process and enables project managers to exchange information among the project team members and keep them on track with consistent access to engineering specifications, architectural drawings, features of the equipment, and product requirements [7]. Proper document management is a prerequisite to processing changes and keeping records of different versions of documents.…”

“…Computer-aided design (CAD) is one of the prerequisites of automation in construction projects and information systems significantly contribute to distributing graphical representations of a facility [5] with stakeholders in a three-dimensional setting [6]. Information systems contribute to more effective management of project documentation and keeping up-to-date records of key project documents such as drawings, contracts, charters, and plans [7]. In large infrastructure projects, instant distribution of performance information among different stakeholders enables them to liaise with clients more effectively to coordinate actions for implementing sustainability initiatives [8] and construction plans [9].…”

The emergence of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has revolutionized the infrastructure construction industry by introducing real-time and collaborative information management tools to be used throughout the lifecycle of projects.The importance of BIM in this industry has been emphasized in previous research. However, strategies for the implementation of this system is still less explored, which requires more elaboration and validation. The purpose of this paper is to investigate such strategies considering all necessary dimensions of the BIM system in infrastructure construction projects. The findings are based on theoretical discussion and semi-structured interviews in a case study project in New South Wales, Australia. The results revealed that BIM integrates various elements of infrastructure construction, which include but are not limited to risk, time, cost, energy, safety, and sustainability. It was found that implementation strategies should focus on improving the contribution of the BIM system to infrastructure construction in terms of improved (1) integrity and automation, (2) collaboration, and (3) optimization. Identification of seven technical and managerial implementations strategies is the core contribution of this research. These strategies provide practitioners with insight into technical and managerial measures to be taken for the successful implementation of the BIM system.
