ABSTRACT
This paper describes the early stages of a research project aiming to develop a BIM framework for practical assessment. Globally prestigious models adopted to evaluate the development of an organization including Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA), European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), and Australian Business Excellence Framework (ABEF) were analyzed to determine the key categories for BIM adoption assessment. Also, 22 interviews with 26 key stakeholders were conducted to identify the elements (belonged to the categories above) potentially impacting on BIM adoption. The results indicate that leadership, client and other stakeholders, strategic planning, people, resources, process, measurement, analysis and knowledge management, and results are the main categories of the BIM assessment framework along with 39 elements. The interrelationship among categories and elements are expected to be identified in the further research with a quantitative approach. The results of this research project could be considered baseline information for the construction companies to effectively evaluate their BIM adoption and to obtain the insights of the relationships among criteria of BIM adoption.
