Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has gained a traction in the construction industry, driven by the plethora of benefits of its usage. Because of the differences in BIM maturity, not all organisations benefit equally from BIM. Organisational culture is vital in stimulating the growth of BIM maturity and is frequently considered a critical element in BIM maturity model. This study takes a bibliometric approach to reveal the focus and emerging trends of BIM maturity and culture research. VOSviewer software was used to map keyword co-occurrence and Scopus database was searched for keywords related to culture and BIM. The number of publications in the discipline ascended between 2012 and 2021, with the UK producing majority of the articles. Keyword cluster analysis highlights five research themes: research on BIM adoption, basic management, safety culture, waste management, and pure culture. According to the content analysis of the papers organisational culture is considered either as a variable or a root metaphor.

Descriptive scope: 4 PCTA

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
