Trends of Assessing BIM Implementation in Construction Research

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is one of the most significant current discussions in AEC industry. Number of research on different aspects of BIM has been increased to show how this groundbreaking approach has impacted the industry. One widely used method to research on BIM is developing and measuring metrics to assess BIM implementation. This research investigates metrics developed in peer-reviewed papers to find trends of BIM assessment, and find gaps within the research. By reviewing ASCE database, this paper demonstrates that most research has focused on BIM outcomes, and research on BIM inputs and BIM processing is underrated. As a result, there is an extensive gap in research on BIM Input and BIM Process Assessment (e.g. evaluating human-technology interactions, collaboration, modeling performance, etc.). This paper also presents a method for developing a comprehensive framework of metrics to be used throughout the industry and academia to measure BIM implementation aspects and goals. A Part of the literature-based framework is also developed and presented in this paper.
