Abstract
Facility owners play a vital role in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry to improve the quality of building information modeling (BIM) execution. However, research shows that BIM adoption by owners is still in its early stages. Owners' requirements documentation, their assessment of the quality and accuracy of BIM deliverables, and their continued use of BIM during Facilities Management (FM) are critical to reaping the full life-cycle benefits of this technology. In order to improve facility owners' execution of BIM, it is critical that their BIM competency be assessed. Using the Delphi technique, this research identified and prioritized 66critical BIM competency factors that building owners must possess using the perceptions of 21 pre-qualified BIM experts representing several diverse roles in the AECO industry. Based on the results of this study, a BIM competency evaluation framework for owners is proposed.
