Abstract
The rapid advancement of Building Information Modelling (BIM) continues to influence the paradigm shift of collaboration, focusing on social collaboration among multi-actors in construction projects. However, scholars indicated that there is a limitation related to the inability of multi-actors to successful practice the social centric-based collaboration in the projects. This article reviews and identifies the key attributes influencing the success of social collaboration among BIM actors in construction projects. The systematic literature review (SLR) approach was adopted using the SCOPUS database. A total of 136 articles were analysed through content analysis, resulting a total of 40 key attributes influencing social collaboration. These key attributes were then characterized by two main categories 'Direct Relationship Oriented Attributes' and 'Indirect Relationship Oriented Attributes'. These attributes were then put forward for inclusion in a conceptual framework that consists of two main layers of a circle which include the 'inner layer circle' (the main roles influencing social collaboration in a project) and 'outer layer circle' (acting as a 'push factor' to govern and assist the project organization). The proposed framework would provide a focal point to construction-related organisations to enable actors to embrace social collaboration in the virtual environment.

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
