Abstract
Recent research reveals a surge in the number of slums in Sub-Saharan Africa with no sign of abating. Thus, the upgrading of slums to improve the living conditions of those who live in such environments is imperative. However, the performance of past slum upgrading projects has been quite contentious with many failing to meet their pre-defined objectives. This study investigates the influence of integrated BIM and M&E on the performance of slum upgrading projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. A questionnaire was used to gather data from 88 M&E and BIM experts. It emerged that on average 68.6% “Agreed and Strongly Agreed” that integrating both M&E and BIM can significantly improve the performance of slum upgrading projects compared to each when applied in isolation. Consequently, future studies should focus on developing an integrated BIM and M&E framework for monitoring slum upgrading projects.
