Abstract

PurposeThis study examined factors influencing the organisational capabilities of the public sector for building information modelling (BIM) implementation in construction projects with a view to enhancing the performance of public sector projects.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a quantitative descriptive analysis that was based on primary data. In total, 198 valid questionnaires obtained from construction professionals within the public sector provided primary quantitative data for the assessment. The respondents provided the responses on the factors which were identified through an in-depth synthesis of literature relating to organisational capabilities of the public sector. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.FindingsThe findings established that the potential of the public sector to deploy BIM in construction projects is greatly influenced by varying degree of organisational capability attributes with bureaucratic culture (mean score, MS = 3.37), structural complexity (MS = 3.17), lack of skilled and trained staff (MS = 3.12), personnel stability (MS = 3.11), staff cooperation (MS = 3.09) and political constraint (MS = 3.07) ranked highest. Through factor analysis, these and other highly influential factors were grouped into eight components, namely management-related, policy-related, technical-related, attitude-related, work structure-related, work ethic-related, decision-related and feedback-related factors. This grouping reflects the various components of organisational capability attributes which the public sector needs to efficiently develop to benefit from project management paradigm introduced by BIM.Practical implicationsThis study provided information for improving specific capability attributes with respect to human and technical resources as well as other soft infrastructure to support BIM implementation on building projects by the public sector client. The study also serves as a guide for understanding BIM implementation by the public sector in similar socio-political and economic contexts.Originality/valueThis assessment indicates various degrees by which the organisational attributes of public sector have influenced the attributes' capability to implement BIM on construction projects. Thus, findings provide information on areas of improvement for better implementation of BIM by the public sector in project delivery.

影响公共部门在建筑项目中实施建筑信息建模的组织能力的因素

目的本研究探讨影响公共部门在建筑项目中实施建筑信息模型(BIM)的组织能力的因素，以期提高公共部门项目的绩效。设计/方法/方法该研究采用了基于原始数据的定量描述性分析。从公共部门的建筑专业人员处获得的198份有效问卷为评估提供了主要的定量数据。受访者提供了通过深入综合有关公共部门组织能力的文献确定的因素的答复。收集的数据使用描述性和推断性统计进行分析。研究结果表明，公共部门在建筑项目中部署BIM的潜力受到不同程度的组织能力属性的极大影响，其中官僚文化(平均得分，MS = 3.37)、结构复杂性(MS = 3.17)、缺乏熟练和训练有素的员工(MS = 3.12)、人员稳定性(MS = 3.11)、员工合作(MS = 3.09)和政治约束(MS = 3.07)排名最高。通过因子分析，将这些因素和其他影响较大的因素分为8个组成部分，即管理相关因素、政策相关因素、技术相关因素、态度相关因素、工作结构相关因素、职业道德相关因素、决策相关因素和反馈相关因素。这个分组反映了公共部门需要有效发展的组织能力属性的各个组成部分，以从BIM引入的项目管理范式中受益。实际意义本研究为提高人力和技术资源以及其他软基础设施方面的具体能力属性提供了信息，以支持公共部门客户在建筑项目中实施BIM。该研究还可以作为公共部门在类似的社会政治和经济背景下理解BIM实施的指南。原创性/价值这一评估表明公共部门的组织属性在不同程度上影响了这些属性在建筑项目中实施BIM的能力。因此，研究结果为公共部门在项目交付中更好地实施BIM提供了改进领域的信息。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation publishes findings on contemporary and original research towards sustaining, maintaining and managing existing buildings. The journal provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of buildings, their performance and adaptation in order to develop appropriate technical and management solutions. This requires an holistic understanding of the complex interactions between the materials, components, occupants, design and environment, demanding the application and development of methodologies for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment in this multidisciplinary area. With rapid technological developments, a changing climate and more extreme weather, coupled with developing societal demands, the challenges to the professions responsible are complex and varied; solutions need to be rigorously researched and tested to navigate the dynamic context in which today''s buildings are to be sustained. Within this context, the scope and coverage of the journal incorporates the following indicative topics: • Behavioural and human responses • Building defects and prognosis • Building adaptation and retrofit • Building conservation and restoration • Building Information Modelling (BIM) • Building and planning regulations and legislation • Building technology • Conflict avoidance, management and disputes resolution • Digital information and communication technologies • Education and training • Environmental performance • Energy management • Health, safety and welfare issues • Healthy enclosures • Innovations and innovative technologies • Law and practice of dilapidation • Maintenance and refurbishment • Materials testing • Policy formulation and development • Project management • Resilience • Structural considerations • Surveying methodologies and techniques • Sustainability and climate change • Valuation and financial investment
