The Propensity of Building Information Modelling and Integrated Project Delivery in Building Construction Project

Abstract

The Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation is to create a centralised knowledge sharing resource that contains all the necessary design and operational information about the project. BIM is a collaborative approach and integrated project delivery to design and delivery embraced by various construction teams in the construction projects. In the context of the most suitable project delivery to be used, with regards to the use of BIM, the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach is highlighted as the best method which correlates building procurement of the design-to-construction business process through literature review analysis. IPD is developed as project delivery system that integrates people in effective collaborative approach between the key players in the project. IPD is going to be particularly beneficial for BIM because the contracts relation between the contractor, designers, consultants, constructors, sub-contractors and suppliers were binded and expressly determined at earlier stage. This relationship between these two subjects will helped the project team to achieve the project goals in terms of timely schedule, life cycle costs, quality and sustainability in construction project. Therefore, this study investigates on the propensity of the best methodology of project delivery system which can correlate with procurement adoption for projects adapt BIM concept. This is a descriptive study and the method used is based on review of the literature in relation to BIM and IPD. The analysis revealed that propensity of adopting IPD project delivery and the adoption of BIM are based on these factors: improve the communication, closer collaboration; liability and legal relationships are specifically determined, the best quality outcome; and lastly with reductions in design and construction period, it provides a cost effectiveness and a saving in overall construction period.

The interplay of IPD and BIM: a systematic literature review

“…We also explored whether IPD facilitates BIM adoption (or vice versa). A majority of papers in this cluster clearly identified IPD as an antecedent to BIM (Holzer, 2011; Fakhimi, 2017; Lam et al , 2017; Boon et al , 2019; Li et al , 2019; Salleh et al , 2019); only three studies suggested that IPD and BIM mutually facilitate and strengthen each other (Azhar, 2011; Azhar et al , 2012; Piroozfar et al , 2019). Chang et al (2017) confirmed the positive effects of BIM on IPD adoption and implementation.…”

“…Adoption of IPD and BIM is one of two clusters in which a majority of papers identify IPD as enabling BIM adoption to overcome challenges (Salleh et al , 2019; Boon et al , 2019; Piroozfar et al , 2019; Fakhimi et al , 2017) and increasing the chances of realizing BIM’s full potential (Holzer, 2011).…”

Influence of Collaborative Relationships on the Performance of Design-Construction Efficiency of Industrialized Construction

“…DCE is emerging as a representation of efficiency where professionals can better communicate with each other for better performance in design and construction (Adu & Opawole, 2020;Salleh et al, 2019;Yap et al, 2020). Pan (2007) discussed that the improved performance of DCE benefited the promotion of prefab expertise.…”
