Abstract
As designers and contractors become more advanced users, facility owners have also begun to make significant strides toward adopting Building Information Modeling (BIM) within their organizations. In fact, many larger owner organizations are now contractually requiring BIM on their construction projects. However, operationalizing the technology during the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) phase is a consistent hurdle that many owners have been unable to overcome thus far. The improvement of building owners' BIM competency is critical to reaping the full benefits of BIM over the building life cycle. Therefore, this research aims to identify what key characteristics building owner organizations must possess to become mature BIM users. An in-depth analysis of the existing BIM maturity assessment tools was conducted to make comparisons between the different variables measured. Suggestions are made for adding variables that have not yet been considered in the evaluation of building owner BIM competency and which may also be important.
