Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has transformed the traditional practices of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Several studies have researched the phenomenon of BIM diffusion and adoption. Particularly, the factors influencing adoption at organizational, individual levels, supply chains, and the entire market level. However, there is still a scarcity of detailed analysis of the BIM adoption process phases along with determinants, drivers, and factors influencing those phases. The first objective of the study is to explore and categorize the effect of the major factors on BIM adoption and provide the in-depth aspects of different BIM adoption process phases. The second objective is to make four clusters of 74 factors identified that affect the four stages of the BIM adoption process. This study applied Systemic Literature Review (SLR) to identify and classify factor clusters based on the Diffusion of Innovation Theory. The identified cluster of factors can be useful for decision-makers to conduct different analyses of the BIM adoption process, and to formulate adoption strategies by offering facts and observations within organizations. The observation of the review is that factors affecting the BIM adoption process vary in regions, this is due to the Governmental pressure, cultural difference, architectural practices, and demographics.

Descriptive scope: 5 PCTEA

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
