Based on the framework, this research analyzed a total number of 97 references (selected out of 322 studies) to identify, extract, and classify metrics/criteria used for assessing BIM implementation. The author develops a thematic framework of BIM aspects, BIM goals, and performance evaluation trends to define grounds for assessing BIM implementation. This study aims to review and analyze the literature and synthesize existing knowledge relevant to the topic. However, so far, no single study has comprehensively reviewed and reported the existing approaches, metrics, and criteria used for assessing BIM practices. This suggests that as BIM adoption grows, the need for BIM implementation assessment arises to facilitate monitoring, measuring, and improving BIM practices. Prior research shows that there is an increasing interest among practitioners and academics to assess maturity, productivity, and performance of BIM implementation.
Developers need to further explore the cloud data usages, and thus, collaborations of different tools can be promoted.īuilding information modeling (BIM) is one of the most significant developments in the construction industry, as it introduces new technologies, processes, and interactions into practice. Three suggestions and three potential schemes of BIM tools in construction projects are discussed at the end. The assessment revealed that the aspects where these tools played a role in improving engineering efficiency and what areas were needed to be improved. The collaboration of these three types would contribute to cleaner production. The review of the tools finds that BIM software can be classified into three types, integrated platforms, instant service services, and supplementary works based on the workflow illustrations. An assessment of their performances based on eleven criteria was conducted after the illustrations.
The different building projects where the tools were used and common functions of these tools were summarized. This study reviewed the typical features of BIM tools in China and illustrated the workflows of some representative tools. However, no investigations have been made to evaluate the status of the tools providing BIM service in China. The industry believed the use of BIM tools would increase the informatization. Many local companies have developed BIM assisting tools to accelerate the transformation of the Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) industry. Building information modeling (BIM) is considered as a vital technology to achieve building sustainability in China.
