“…Moreover, the project manager should check and ensure the BIM software adopted by each stakeholder compatible, and provide the uniformed data standard manual to make information flow unimpeded, for the purpose of reducing technology cost [45]. Last but not least, the integrated project team leader should select integrated project team members with rich experiences in BIM-and IPD-based projects, so as to reduce trail-and-error cost that is also believed as an important kind of proprietary cost [46].…”

Integrated project delivery (IPD) is a new emerging delivery system, contributes to increase value to the owner, reduces waste and maximizes efficiency in the life cycle of projects. However, IPD system has not yet shifted from pilot-alike or particular-purposed cases to large-scale applications.The huge advantages of building information modeling (BIM) are far from being exploited, which directly leads to the delivered outcomes below expectations, thereby causing obstacles to widespread application of IPD system. The reasons impeding the successful application of BIM has been a hot topic. Previous studies suggested that moral hazard behavior is a critical inducer leading to the undesirable outcomes. However, very few studies have studied the evolution mechanism of moral hazard behavior for BIM application. To fill this knowledge gap, this study proposed a novel model, aiming to capture dynamically the interactive behavior of BIM-based strategy selections using evolutionary game theory. Five parameters of monitoring cost, proprietary cost, incentive payment, punishment and speculative benefit are extracted and defined in the proposed model. Numerical simulations are conducted with MATLAB 2016a. The simulation results showed that when incentive payment is higher than the sum of speculative benefit and proprietary cost, interactive behavior of both game players will move toward the optimal portfolio strategy. Incentive payment and punishment have negative correlations with the probability of moral hazard behavior for BIM application. Parameters of speculative benefit and proprietary cost affect positively implementation probability of moral hazard behavior of employing BIM. This study can provide theoretical and managerial implications for integrated project managers and related government department to improve implementation of BIM and IPD system, and also contribute to its sustainable development.

“…BIM research shows that there is an increasing interest among practitioners and academics to assess maturity, productivity, and performance of BIM implementation. For example, Chen et al (2016) proposed a structural equation model (SEM) of BIM maturity through multivariate analyses of data based on BIM-related professionals' experience to measure the extent to which BIM is explicitly defined, managed, integrated and optimized.…”

Since 2002, building information modelling (BIM) has flourished expeditiously and has been adopted broadly in the field of built environment. In step with this explosive implementation and adoption, scores of articles have been published on BIM. Given this flood of documents over the last decade, the objective of this study to use a bibliometrics approach to help discover and benchmark the most valuable and highly cited publications in this burgeoning area. Not only do these techniques facilitate the identification of research clusters and topics in BIM community, but the approaches help highlight how research topics evolve over time, greatly contributing to understanding the underlying structure of the BIM knowledge base, domain, and evolution. Based on the knowledge base, knowledge domain and evolution of BIM knowledge, a BIM knowledge map is proposed. Although the depth and scope of this analysis

“…Qualification is often aimed at measuring anecdotes of likely success, thus, it requires measurement of various attributes that have a more holistic view of capability. The proposed criteria in this study meet this requirement since they cut across the different concepts of BIM capability attributes as theorised in previous studies (Giel & Issa, 2013), including process, people, product driven, technology or information driven criteria (Succar, 2010;Giel & Issa, 2013;Chen et al, 2016).…”

“…In relation to the criteria relied on by these tools, most of the existing tools and frameworks focus on hard measures pertaining to the physical resources and processes required to deliver BIM models as opposed to other competency and organisational factors (Sebastian & van Berlo, 2010;Chen et al, 2016). Sackey (2014) described BIM capability discourse as hard technologically deterministic to the neglect of the socio-technical nature of its use in practice.…”

Despite emerging research on Building Information Modelling (BIM) capability, there remains no studies specifically looking at criteria for the pre-qualification and selection of construction supply chain (CSC) firms for BIM projects. As a consequence, there is insufficient theoretical insight and empirical justification for critical BIM qualification criteria for the CSC context. In order to bridge this knowledge gap, a study was conducted to ascertain the most critical BIM capability attributes, as well as relevance to the pre-qualification and selection of suitable CSC firms for BIM enabled projects. The relative importance of these criteria were determined based on their perceived influence on overall BIM delivery success on recent BIM-enabled projects. A sequential exploratory mixed methodological research design was adopted involving semi-structured interviews (n=8) and a Delphi Survey (n=25) of experts, as well as a survey of CSC firms (n=64) on BIM-enabled projects. The findings reinforce the criticality of past BIM experience in delivery success. Furthermore, it revealed that while technological infrastructure related capacities (such as software and hardware availability) are perceived as very important qualification criteria, their actual contribution to delivery success is not as high in comparison to criteria related to previous BIM experience. This study provides insights on prioritising BIM capability criteria based on evidence on their contribution to delivery success in practice rather than their perceived importance as capability metrics.
