A Hybrid Conceptual Model for BIM Adoption in Facilities Management: A Descriptive Analysis for the Collected Data

Abstract

Despite the approved benefits of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for the whole project life cycle, the adoption of BIM in facilities management (FM) is only minimal. Still, BIM adoption and implementation in FM is unclear. Thus, this ongoing research aims at identifying the main factors that affect the acceptance of BIM in facility management and to framework a hybrid conceptual model that integrating Task Technology Fit (TTF) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) for better understanding the use of BIM in FM. The methods that are being adopted in this research include a comprehensive literature review, interviews, and survey. The proposed conceptual model for BIM in FM was already developed in the previous paper. In this paper, a summary of interim findings and an overview of the online survey and data collection procedure are presented. Also, a descriptive analysis of the sample size of 134 responses is discussed. The general results showed interesting findings and acceptable level of participants’ qualifications to answer the online survey. The future work will include the model constructs’ validation and test of the research hypothesesKeywordsFacilities managementBuilding information modelling (BIM)Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT)Technology task fit model (TTF)
