Sustainability Factors of Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementing for Successful Construction Project Managemet Life Cycle in Indonesia

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an important asset in construction projects from conceptual planning, pre-construction to operation stage. While many construction projects in developed countries are gradually implementing BIM, the development of this technology in developing countries is still lagging behind. Some research results state that the application of BIM for certain uses can improve the performance of construction projects, but in Indonesia its use is still very less. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the factors what can answer the challenges in the sustainability of BIM implementation in construction projects in Indonesia for success in its life cycle.. Data were obtained from 44 respondents who answered the questionnaire questions, are owners, supervisory consultants, and contractors representing construction parties in Indonesia. Empirical analysis using multiple linear regression states that there are five factors which, if sustainably support the application of BIM, will affect the success of construction project management in its life cycle. The ranking of five factors based on the results of the analysis is Understanding and Awareness of the importance of BIM; Establishment of BIM standards, codes, rules, and regulations; Competencies and Skills; Commitment and Consistency; and Monitoring and Evaluation. The development of BIM has resulted in new work processes and new ways to interact in a construction project throughout its life cycle.
