TI  - Bim-based research framework for sustainable building projects: A strategy for mitigating bim implementation barriers
N2  - Although Building Information Modeling (BIM) can enhance efficiency of sustainable building projects, its adoption is still plagued with barriers. In order to incorporate BIM more efficiently, it is important to consider and mitigate these barriers. The aim of this study is to explore and develop strategies to alleviate barriers in developing countries, such as Malaysia, to broaden implementation of BIM with the aid of quantitative and qualitative approaches. To achieve this aim, a comprehensive literature review was carried out to identify the barriers, and a questionnaire survey was conducted with construction projectsâ?? stakeholders. The ranking analysis results revealed the top five critical barriers to be â??unavailability of standards and guidelinesâ??, â??lack of BIM trainingâ??, â??lack of expertiseâ??, â??high costâ??, and â??lack of research and BIM implementationâ??. Comparative study findings showed that â??lack of research and BIM implementationâ?? is the least important barrier in other countries like China, United Kingdom, Nigeria, and Pakistan. Furthermore, qualitative analysis revealed the strategies to mitigate the BIM implementation barriers to enhance sustainable goals. The final outcome of this study is the establishment of a framework incorporated with BIM implementation barriers and strategies namely, the â??BIM-based research frameworkâ??, which can assist project managers and policymakers towards effective sustainable construction. © 2021 by the authors.
