Abstract:

Studies related to measuring the benefits of BIM become a new sensation. However, the reported values are highly inconsistent as there are no standards to benchmark the benefits according to different returning values. This paper presents a critical review of various factors that may affect the benefits to be measured from BIM. The review of previous studies aims to propose a novel classification approach for BIM benefits as a theoretical basis for further validation. The objective of this study is to explore BIM benefit returning factors. A total of 17 sources from peer-reviewed journals and various grey literature are included in the review with no time limit. From the underlying theories of Benefit Realisation Management (BRM) and the Benefit Identification Model, it is found that there are several factors that can be used to determine and classify the benefits of BIM for measurement purposes. An ontology of Benefit Determining Factor is proposed consisting of four (4) main dimensions, namely project context, stakeholder, time, and type using thematic analysis. The result is an attempt to make a theoretical breakthrough that introduces the existence of various BIM benefit influencing factors into the body of knowledge. These factors will provide researchers and analysts greater insight into more accurate measurement of BIM outcomes.
