| description |
BIM application on construction projects is a potential risk that must be managed. Risk factors in construction projects will also increase with the extent of BIM application due to the challenges associated with BIM application. Managing the risk of BIM application on projects and the realisation of BIM value depends on the appropriate use of BIM. Several studies have identified the balance between BIM value, project characteristics, and BIM application as a way of mitigating the risk of BIM application on projects. However, frameworks or models providing the balance between the BIM value, project characteristics, and BIM application are scarce. Hence, using a meta-synthesis of relevant studies, this study proposes a strategic and contingent BIM application model for construction projects. The strategic part of the model entails the determination of BIM value and BIM effectiveness on a construction project by using appropriate BIM tools and processes for the project. The contingent part of the model involves the use of project complexity to determine the project expectations. The model turns into a strategic and contingent application of BIM on construction projects by matching the extent of BIM application to the level of project complexity. The model presents unique attributes for characterising BIM-based construction projects and provides a guide and research focus for case studies of BIM-based construction projects. Also, the model will make it easier to plan and manage BIM-based construction projects as well as enable a widespread application of BIM tools and processes.
