Using TAM to Explore Vocational Students’ Willingness to Adopt a Web-Based BIM Cost Estimating System

Abstract

In this study, the technology acceptance model (TAM) is used to analyze from a vocational school to usethe Web-based BIM cost analysis system developed in this study.

A hybrid conceptual model for BIM in FM

“…Fourth, the successful integration of the UTAUT and TTF in the IT field, for example, (Zhou et al , 2010; Pai and Tu, 2011; Faria, 2013; Oliveira et al , 2014; Tai and Ku, 2014; Vongjaturapat et al , 2015; Park et al , 2015; Afshan and Sharif, 2016), helps us understand possible links between the adoption of a new technology in IT and BIM adoption in FM. Research has shown the successful applicability of technology acceptance theories in the construction industry as much as their applicability in the IT fields (Lee et al , 2012; Son et al , 2012; Davies and Harty, 2013; Lee and Yu, 2013; Mahamadu et al , 2014; Son et al , 2014; Wu et al , 2014; Cao et al , 2014; Xu et al , 2014; Lee et al , 2015; Dawood and Chan, 2015; Ding et al , 2015; Son et al , 2015; Lee and Yu, 2016; Cao et al , 2016; Lee, 2016 #102; Howard et al , 2017). However, these concepts have yet to be explored in the context of FM, and one aim of this research is to consolidate the perceptions of BIM adoption in FM in a way that helps stakeholders benefit from implementing BIM.…”
