Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of BIM Implementation for Collaboration based on System Analysis

摘要

It has been recognized that building information modeling (BIM), as an emerging information communication and technology (ICT), can improve project collaboration to different extents. However, because of the fast progress of BIM adoption both on the scope and in depth, there is a knowledge gap between practice and theory that lack of systematic analysis on critical success factors (CSFs) of implementing BIM for collaboration in construction project. This paper develops a framework of BIM implementation for collaboration from technical, organizational, process and legal scopes, and identifies the CSFs of BIM in each scope based on the latest publications. From system analysis perspective, the pair-relationship matrix is established to reveal the hidden effect between CSFs. The CSFs in the specific BIM application areas are identified based on the matrix.
