Attarzadeh, M; Nath, T and Tiong, R L K (2015) Identifying key factors for building information modelling adoption in Singapore. Proceedings of Institution of Civil Engineers: Management, Procurement and Law, 168(5), pp. 220-231. ISSN 17514304
Abstract
Building information modelling (BIM) enables firms in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry to transform the construction value chain into a technologically enhanced construction process. One of the fundamental concerns to emerge related to BIM adoption is how to implement BIM successfully. Thus, it is considered crucial to identify the key factors (KFs) that influence the success of BIM initiatives. This study is conducted to find the influence factors and also undertake an analysis in order to identify the KFs that would facilitate successful BIM adoption and implementation in Singapore. The research concluded that improved coordination, better accuracy in a faster timeframe, fewer on-site clashes and fewer change orders are the important benefits of BIM adoption. The research findings should help AEC firms to ensure the realisation of BIM adoption and implementation in the project life cycle. It should also help Singapore's government agencies to plan properly for supporting BIM adoption and implementation in the life cycle of construction 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
