Ali, F H and Bandi, S (2024) Correlation between BIM data creation and big data attributes in construction. International Journal of Construction Management, 24(12), pp. 1295-1304. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
Considerable effort to leverage digital data was exerted as construction adopts innovative work processes. Among these, Building Information Modelling (BIM) sat at the backbone of digital strategy, with the capability to create huge digital data through its realizable multifunctionality and integration capacity. Ubiquitous to construction, the explosion of huge data through BIM sparked the relevancy of big data. While it was logical that the volume of BIM data swells from the adoption of BIM, a question remains whether the creation of BIM data conjures to big data progression. Hence, this research aimed to examine the relationship between BIM data creation and big data attributes. The study was carried out by a combination of literature reviews and a questionnaire survey. The outcome indicates two groups which are cost and operation and maintenance (OM) data had a very low correlation due to irrefutable reasons, the remaining material, design and schedule data reflected a strong positive relationship. Therefore, the outcome reflects the earlier attestation of the technological fusion in construction.

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
