Abstract

Purpose

The main purpose of this study is to reveal the degree of association between lean, building information modeling (BIM) and construction project success. The study further intends to provide strategies for high and low associations of the factors.

Design/methodology/approach

Lean construction and BIM are two important applications that have recently gained popularity in terms of enhancing project success. Considering this impact, this study investigates the synergy between lean construction and BIM and determines to what extent these two contribute to the success of the projects. As a first step, lean, BIM and project success were examined based on an in-depth literature review. In the second stage, a structural equation model (SEM) was established to reflect the relationship among these three through hypotheses. Then, a questionnaire was designed and administered to the construction professionals experienced in both lean and BIM implementation. The SEM was tested using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS), an SPSS tool.

Findings

The results indicated that lean implementation has a significant and positive impact on BIM implementation and project success. On the other hand, BIM implementation had a lower significant impact on project success than lean implementation construct.

Research limitations/implications

The results of this study can be used by both policymakers and industry practitioners in terms of developing strategies for effectively using both lean and BIM. The researchers can further develop other implementation models to investigate whether these concepts are more effective in increasing project success when used integratively.

Originality/value

This study considers both the impact of lean and BIM on project success through input from construction practitioners working on large projects. This way, the study fosters the use of lean, BIM or lean–BIM together in construction projects to enhance project success.

衡量精益实施对 BIM 和项目成功的影响：建筑公司案例

目的本研究的主要目的是揭示精益建造、建筑信息模型（BIM）和建筑项目成功之间的关联程度。设计/方法/途径精益建造和 BIM 是最近在提高项目成功率方面得到普及的两个重要应用。考虑到这一影响，本研究调查了精益建造和 BIM 之间的协同作用，并确定了这两者在多大程度上有助于项目的成功。首先，基于深入的文献综述，对精益、BIM 和项目成功进行了研究。第二阶段，建立结构方程模型（SEM），通过假设反映三者之间的关系。然后，设计并向在精益和 BIM 实施方面经验丰富的建筑专业人士发放了调查问卷。结果表明，精益实施对 BIM 实施和项目成功有显著的积极影响。另一方面，BIM 实施对项目成功的显著影响低于精益实施的影响。研究局限/意义本研究的结果可供政策制定者和行业从业者在制定有效使用精益和 BIM 的策略时使用。研究人员可以进一步开发其他实施模型，研究这些概念在综合使用时是否能更有效地提高项目成功率。原创性/价值本研究通过大型项目建筑从业人员的意见，考虑精益和 BIM 对项目成功的影响。通过这种方式，本研究促进了精益、BIM 或精益-BIM 在建筑项目中的结合使用，以提高项目的成功率。

期刊介绍： ECAM publishes original peer-reviewed research papers, case studies, technical notes, book reviews, features, discussions and other contemporary articles that advance research and practice in engineering, construction and architectural management. In particular, ECAM seeks to advance integrated design and construction practices, project lifecycle management, and sustainable construction. The journal’s scope covers all aspects of architectural design, design management, construction/project management, engineering management of major infrastructure projects, and the operation and management of constructed facilities. ECAM also addresses the technological, process, economic/business, environmental/sustainability, political, and social/human developments that influence the construction project delivery process. ECAM strives to establish strong theoretical and empirical debates in the above areas of engineering, architecture, and construction research. Papers should be heavily integrated with the existing and current body of knowledge within the field and develop explicit and novel contributions. Acknowledging the global character of the field, we welcome papers on regional studies but encourage authors to position the work within the broader international context by reviewing and comparing findings from their regional study with studies conducted in other regions or countries whenever possible.
