Abstract
Sustainable Procurement (SP) has emerged as a better solution for issues of conventional procurement. The Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is an innovative procurement system that facilitates easy BIM adoption. It is evident that the establishment of innovative procurement systems such as BIM-based IPD is essential to adopt SP successfully. This study aims to investigate the suitability of sustainable BIM-based IPD for the construction industry. 'Concurrent Triangulation Mixed Method' was adopted by steering a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews, where statistical and content analyses were used to analyse collected data respectively. Non-probability sampling was used as a sampling technique for both surveys and sample sizes were 125 for questionnaire survey and 10 for semi-structured interviews. 85% response rate was achieved for the questionnaire survey. Accordingly, 96% of BIM-based IPD principles can be contributed to achieving SP, which recommend the suitability of sustainable BIM-based IPD for the construction industry. However, the limitations of the proposed sustainable BIM-based IPD system can be diminished the expected benefits. Henceforth, appropriate strategies for successful implementation of the proposed system were identified to achieve the expected benefits.

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
