Benefits of Building Information Modelling (BIM) have encouraged its adoption within organisations (i.e., micro level) and prompted many policy makers to establish market-wide BIM initiatives (i.e. macro level) to encourage its adoption. The adoption of a systemic innovation such as BIM within a complex socio-technical environment such as the const...

Understanding the dynamics of Building Information Modelling (BIM) adoption in organisations-referred to in the remainder of the paper as 'micro BIM adoption'-is key to develop and implement successful BIM implementation strategies. In particular, understanding the causal chains between multiple factors driving organisations towards the decision to...

To date a comprehensive analysis of interactions among BIM adoption factors, stages of the BIM adoption process, and time (e.g. time intervals of a national BIM initiative) is still lacking. This research aims to profile BIM adoption by mapping such interactions. The analysis is performed for the UK Architecture sector, which was represented with a...

Several factors affect the process of BIM adoption within organisations (i.e. micro BIM adoption). An extensive collection of such factors were included in a unified BIM adoption taxonomy published in Ahmed and Kassem (2018). These factors are distributed across three areas of adoption drivers: the characteristics of the innovation itself (i.e., BI...

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an innovation that is transforming practices within the Architectural, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) sectors. The investigation of the process of BIM adoption and diffusion has attracted significant interest from industry and academia. Drivers and factors influencing BIM adoption were examine...

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an innovation that is transforming practices within the Architectural, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) sectors. Many studies have investigated the process of BIM adoption and diffusion and in particular, the drivers affecting adoption at different levels, ranging from individual and team throug...

Studies investigating Building Information Modelling (BIM) adoption proliferated in recent years. Existing studies are characterised by both deficiencies in the adoption drivers and factors identified and an insufficient demarcation of key terms and concepts used. The suitability of using the results of these studies to investigate a conceptual mod...

Investigating the drivers for building information modelling (BIM) adoption by organisations has attracted a significant interest in recent years. However, there are still some important limitations to overcome in this areas: (1) drivers and factors for BIM adoption are disjointedly identified and dispersed across many studies−this is caused by bot...

Many studies have reviewed the concepts of ecology and technology, but despite the active role of information technology, including digital technology in architecture, they have not clearly identified the relationship between eco- and bio-morphing and local architecture. The research aim here was to explore the influence of digital technology on ec...
