Abstract

PurposeBuilding information modelling (BIM) has been established in the literature as a successful platform that creates an intelligent virtual model for processing data from conceptual design through construction to operational stage of a facility. However, its adoption for facilities management (FM) provision in Nigeria has been slow due to inherent barriers. The aim of this paper is to (1) assess and categorise using factor analysis BIM for FM barriers and (2) model the barriers using stakeholders' personal/professional attributes.Design/methodology/approachAnchored on quantitative research design, 205 copies of structured questionnaire were distributed to key stakeholders and facilities managers in Nigeria's three strategic cities while 135 valid responses were received giving a response rate of 65.8%. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics while multiple regression analysis was used to model the barriers. Kruskal Wallis test was used to test the only hypothesis postulated for the study.FindingsThe study established lack of awareness of BIM for FM, poor supporting infrastructure for Internet services, and lack of education and training as the top three rated barriers militating against adoption of BIM for FM in Nigeria while corruption, widespread mistakes and errors and cultural issues were established as the three least rated barriers. Besides, findings also established eight underlying factors that explained 23 barrier factors used for the study which were subsequently used to develop eight regression models. In effect, gender, professional affiliation, organisation, experience, education, expertise, BIM for FM project type, and location were found to statistically predict the 8 extracted factors driving perceived barriers of BIM for FM adoption in Nigeria.Practical implicationsThe study has provided a framework of barrier factors to help stakeholders identify specific barriers for which appropriate measures can be taken to ameliorate consequences of the perceived barriers. Meanwhile, an improved and rejuvenated advocacy on inherent benefits of BIM for facilities management by frontline stakeholders could potentially steer up interests and increased participation of stakeholders on BIM for FM.Originality/valueThe unique study developed the first ever regression model that links BIM for FM barriers to professional attributes of facilities management stakeholders in Nigeria.
尼日利亚设施管理采用BIM的障碍:多元分析
建筑信息模型(BIM)在文献中已经被建立为一个成功的平台,它创建了一个智能虚拟模型,用于处理从概念设计到施工到设施运营阶段的数据。然而,由于固有的障碍,尼日利亚在设施管理(FM)方面的采用进展缓慢。本文的目的是:(1)使用因素分析BIM对FM障碍进行评估和分类;(2)使用利益相关者的个人/专业属性对障碍进行建模。设计/方法/方法以定量研究设计为基础,向尼日利亚三个战略城市的主要利益相关者和设施管理人员分发了205份结构化问卷,收到了135份有效回复,回复率为65.8%。收集的数据采用描述性统计进行分析,并采用多元回归分析对障碍进行建模。Kruskal Wallis检验用于检验该研究的唯一假设。研究发现,缺乏对BIM在FM中的认识、互联网服务基础设施薄弱、缺乏教育和培训是阻碍尼日利亚在FM中采用BIM的三大障碍,而腐败、普遍的错误和错误以及文化问题是排名最低的三大障碍。此外,研究结果还建立了8个潜在因素,解释了研究中使用的23个障碍因素,随后使用这些因素建立了8个回归模型。实际上,性别、专业隶属关系、组织、经验、教育、专业知识、BIM用于FM项目类型和地点被发现在统计上预测了8个提取的因素,这些因素推动了BIM在尼日利亚FM采用中的感知障碍。实际意义本研究提供了一个障碍因素的框架,以帮助利益相关者识别具体的障碍,并采取适当的措施来改善感知障碍的后果。与此同时,一线利益相关者对BIM在设施管理方面的内在好处的改进和振兴宣传可能会引导利益相关者对BIM的兴趣并增加其对FM的参与。独创性/价值这项独特的研究开发了有史以来第一个回归模型,将BIM的FM障碍与尼日利亚设施管理利益相关者的专业属性联系起来。

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
