Abstract
The effective use of building information modeling (BIM) in the design phase generates countless benefits that contribute to risk management (RM). However, a better understanding of the relationship between the critical-success factors (CSFs) in the design phase has not yet been addressed. This study aims to investigate the influence of BIM CSFs in the design phase in the RM process, exploring the mediating effect played by BIM knowledge, RM knowledge, and BIM maturity. The research design applies the partial least-squares structural equation modeling technique, and the variables were collected by a survey with a sample of 195 respondents from different countries. The results pointed out that earlier and accurate three-dimensional (3D) visualization of the design was the top-ranked recognized design factor in the use of BIM. The findings also indicated that BIM design CSFs have a positive impact on the RM process. Furthermore, there is a positive and significant indirect effect of BIM knowledge, RM knowledge, and BIM maturity through the path of BIM Design CSF on RM.

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
