Abstract

There are arguments, that new technologies in general, which is particularly true for BIM, are an opportunity to change the work routine. On the other hand, recent research shows that successful adoption of BIM depends on allowing the team to adapt new technologies to suit existing workflows. The struggle for power and organizational change occurs when individuals, teams and organizations progressively move through changes to the risks associated with standard procedures, the interests of intellectual property, the financial risks associated with capital investment in both hardware and software, as well as to the investments needed to train and retain technologically advanced employees. So, what should be considered primary if an organization starts implementing BIM? Are non-technical (social) factors more critical than technical or vice versa? And among those who will face all the organizations that are the most critical?

Highlights

Critical factors are certainly the criteria for selecting and identifying BIM software and BIM features, BIM pilot projects, etc
The financial risks associated with capital investment in both hardware and software, as well as to the investments needed to train and retain technologically advanced employees [3]
Let’s try to deduce hypothetical representations of the impacts from the gradually through BIM maturity levels, which will arise over the life cycle of the building, in terms of the life stages of the building life cycle, the overlap of the phases and the semantic richness of the BIM model

Summary

Identification of Critical Factors

Critical factors are certainly the criteria for selecting and identifying BIM software and BIM features, BIM pilot projects, etc. Won [4] identified the following list of critical success factors for the BIM (listed in order of importance obtained from extensive research). Willing to share information between project participants BIM model manager of the entire project through DCO Effective cooperation between project participants Organizational structure (in companies) supporting BIM Permanent investment in development Leadership and senior management Information Sharing Protocols BIM education and training programs Technical support for interoperability. Standardized working procedures for BIM In the above-mentioned survey [4] other success factors have been identified, but are no longer included in the "critical" category, but they are important factors to manage BIM and its implementation in organizations and BIM projects itself. Effective collaboration, and sufficient staff and team skills are once again key to creating a "successful BIM knowledge management model" and a successful BIM as such

Impact of Implementation on particular maturity levels

Level 2 BIM - model-based cooperation

Level 3 BIM - Network-based integration

Building Life Cycle Management
