Strategic-contingent model of BIM adoption

The model postulates that Building Information Modelling (BIM) exhibits extensive potential that holds value for construction projects of all types, irrespective of their inherent characteristics. This observation suggests that Building Information Modelling (BIM) is applicable to all construction projects. However, the implementation of BIM in construction projects necessitates adherence to a comprehensive and adaptable plan, encompassing both strategic and contingency measures. The strategic and contingent nature of BIM application on construction projects arises from its ability to effectively address the intricacies and anticipated outcomes associated with such projects. This is achieved through the alignment of Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools and processes with the intricate nature and anticipated outcomes of construction projects.? The model postulates that the degree of Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation should be ascertained based on the level of project intricacy and project objectives. The determination of project expectations, which concurrently represent the value of Building Information Modelling (BIM), is contingent upon the degree of BIM implementation within construction projects. The determination of the extent of Building Information Modelling (BIM) application on construction projects is contingent upon the utilisation of BIM tools and processes. As postulated within the theoretical framework, the utilisation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools is linked to four distinct elements. Additionally, the BIM processes, namely integration and collaboration, encompass a total of eight variables, with four variables attributed to each process. The proposed model utilises these components to elucidate the varying degrees of Building Information Modelling (BIM) efficacy while also delineating distinct categories of construction projects that rely on BIM. The proposed model posits that the utilisation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in construction projects is directly proportional to the rise in project expectations and project complexity. A strategically and contingently implemented Building Information Modelling (BIM) application within the context of construction projects will guarantee that the anticipated outcomes of BIM-centric construction endeavours are appropriately customised to align with the inherent intricacies of said projects. Additionally, it will guarantee that the degree of Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation in a construction project is precisely customised to meet expectations and indirectly influences the efficacy of BIM in said construction projects. The model posits a correlation between project expectations and project complexity, suggesting that any alteration in project complexity will result in a commensurate and immediate impact on project expectations. The correlation between the intricacy of a project and the anticipated outcomes will have an impact on the degree to which Building Information Modelling (BIM) is employed in construction projects. The observation suggests that an increase in project complexity correlates with elevated project expectations, necessitating a commensurate augmentation in the utilisation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology.?
