Abstract
Construction scholars and professionals have recognized the integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), and Lean Construction (LC) as an effective way to increase collaboration and deliver construction projects. However, construction organizations cannot identify the transitional management steps required to achieve BIM-IPD-LC (BIL) implementation maturity. This paper presents a roadmap, introducing a BIL Maturity Model (MM) through iterative rounds of semi-structured interviews, model validation through a survey, and model implementation. The research defined the maturity characteristics of construction organizations applying BIL across five levels, namely: ad hoc (individual), repeatable (project), defined (organization and project), quantitatively managed (full organization awareness), and optimizing (cross-organization integration) encompassing five major attributes including, ‘Customer Focus’, ‘Culture & People’, ‘Workplace Standardization’, ‘Waste Minimization’, and ‘Continuous improvement’ as well as 23 sub-attributes. The proposed integrated BIL MM will attract and assist industry practitioners and relevant stakeholders in identifying their position in BIL implementation maturity. The identified interdependencies between BIM, IPD, and LC will also serve as the basis for future academic studies respecting the collaboration of these three in an integrated manner.

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
