Chiozzi, Maria Alma (2020) A collaborative contracting framework supported by BIM and lean. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
Abstract
The construction industry has been criticised as being inefficient and fragmented. In response to the continuous dissatisfaction of many client organisations, recent decades have seen the emergence of a spectrum of contracts that embrace different degrees of collaboration promoting the development of integrated approaches to contracts and relationships. In parallel, two other independent significant developments arose to challenge the silo mentality within the industry; Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Lean management. This research explored the integration of these three initiatives with the purpose of incentivising clients to step into a new era of collaboration in construction supported by digital lean processes and advanced technologies.

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
