A structure equation model of indicators driving BIM adoption in the Bahraini construction industry

Abstract

This study aims to establish an adoption model using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) that examines the relationship between several key indicators that drive building information modeling (BIM) adoption.,The study was carried out using quantitative approaches through the Delphi method and questionnaire survey. A total of 272 completed responses were collected and analyzed through the SEM technique using SPSS 25 and AMOS software.,The structural model shows that “environment” and partially “people” indicators are the leading indicators driving BIM adoption with path coefficient values of 0.280 and 0.332, respectively.,It is expected that these conclusions will lead the Bahraini construction industry stakeholders to raise the level of BIM adoption.
