Arroteia, Aline Valverde (2022) Critical success factors of BIM in the design and construction interface. PhD thesis, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil.
Abstract
BIM has become a common process and one of the latest technologies that have significantly changed the AEC industry worldwide in the management of construction projects. However, the increasement of the design disciplines and the number of professionals involved in the project has contributed to the fragmentation of the design and construction phases. In this context, the AEC industry has been searching formore collaborative practices through tools, methods, and processes in BIM. Therefore, for the success of a project, the adoption of critical success factors (CSFs) is considered a key facilitator in the organization of strategies for BIM. Thus, the general research objective was to propose critical success factors for BIM in the design and construction interface for the evaluation of BIM performance in projects. The research methodology applied mixed methods considering qualitative and quantitative approaches developed through two exploratory surveys, bibliometrics, content analysis, and multi-case studies. Findings showed the application of the CSFs in theoretical and practical approaches. We developed the categorization of 14 different BIM codes which can be used in future works. Likewise, we applied the analysis of CSFs for BIM with three principal categories: technology, people, and process. The CSFs were founded in literature, classified, and framed into three main phases: design, pre-construction, and construction phases for the evaluation of BIM performance in projects. As contributions to practitioners, this research proposed CSFs for BIM in the design and construction interface.

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
