An integrated building information modelling, integrated project delivery and lean construction maturity model

Rashidian, Sara (2024) An integrated building information modelling, integrated project delivery and lean construction maturity model. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.

Abstract

Construction projects are inherently complex and uncertain, involving diverse teams and environments. Innovative methods like Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Building Information Modelling (BIM), and Lean Construction (LC) enhance collaboration and project integrity. This thesis introduces a BIM-IPD-LC Maturity Model (BIL MM) to guide construction organisations in improving their integration and implementation. Using a mixed methodology, including literature reviews, Delphi studies, expert reviews, interviews, surveys, and case studies, the BIL MM assesses organisational maturity across five levels. It helps stakeholders evaluate their current maturity and plan for future improvements, ensuring effective collaboration and project success.

Descriptive scope: 5 PCTEA

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
