Abstract

This paper aims at examining various stages of the construction project and analyse ways that BIM can be incorporated within them and how its application impacts the construction project efficiency, sustainability, and management. BIM here entails the plans, specifications, measurements, schedules, properties and other attributes of components of building and construction and this can improve the decisions of the architects, engineers and constructors, thereby reducing mistakes and costs. A survey questionnaire with a quantitative scale is used in this research to measure the effects of sustainability factors such as leadership, competence, and commitment on BIM success, among the AEC practitioners. This paper goes further in establishing that leadership involving assessment proved to be advantageous in BIM implementation, while a lack of training or standard was seen to be disadvantageous in the implementation of BIM. Furthermore, as a result of this PLS-SEM analysis, these factors are also found to be connected and associated with the overall influence of BIM. Some of the suggestions provided include the need to enhance the training of the program and the need to ensure that the best practice BIM programmes are adopted in future construction projects.
