Abstract
Limited research has been performed on the delays caused by employers in building information modelling (BIM)-enabled projects. Thus, this study aimed to determine the effects of critical success factors, BIM implementation strategies, and barriers to employer-initiated delays in BIM-enabled projects. A total of 197 completed questionnaires were collected from various countries and analysed using the structural equation modelling approach. The effects of moderators were studied. The relationships of the success factors to the employer-initiated delays were found to be affected by the BIM implementation strategies and by the BIM barriers. A correlation analysis was conducted between the success factors and the employer-initiated delay factors for the BIM project, emphasising countries or continents lacking delay studies, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and China. The key results reveal that BIM implementation strategies have a significant impact on relationships involving management, organisational, and financial planning and team success aspects in employer-initiated delays, also, a significant impact of the BIM barriers on the same relationships has also been confirmed. This study contributes to the development of a comprehensive managerial framework to address employer-initiated delays in BIM-enabled projects.

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
