Laishram, B and Sood, R (2024) Challenges in implementation of 7D-BIM for infrastructure asset management: A systematic review. Construction Economics and Building, 24(3), pp. 95-117. ISSN 2204-9029
Abstract
Infrastructure Asset Management (InfraAM)/Facilities Management (FM) representing operation and maintenance (O&M) phase, accounts for a substantial portion (85%) of project’s total cost, and hence, there is urgent need to invest in technology for infrastructure maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation. This can be done by implementing digital technologies, like Building Information Modeling (BIM), that can help in 3D visualization, 4D scheduling, 5D costing, 6D sustainability, and 7D O&M throughout service life of project. But, BIM’s implementation during O&M faces various challenges and in order to understand those challenges, a systematic literature review (SLR) through PRISMA technique was conducted using 89 peer-reviewed papers from three databases and quantitative and qualitative analysis were performed. The literature revealed various critical challenges (CCs) and success factors (SFs) that influences BIM implementation in O&M phase, but lacks interrelationship between them. Hence, the current study linked various CCs and SFs through a theoretical approach. The study found that role of government and contractual frameworks can help to eliminate most of the challenges. This novel approach could provide significant contributions by helping practitioners and policymakers to understand connections between CCs and role of SFs as potential solutions for enhancing 7D-BIM implementation.

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
