Abstract
:
The construction sector in Saudi Arabia has a direct impact on the country’s economic development. Despite its importance the building sector shows low performance, with many projects in Saudi Arabia facing challenges such as high project costs, delay in delivery of projects, poor quality, and high costs in the operation and maintenance phases. Nevertheless, development is still increasing as many large-scale development projects have been launched, and the challenges are likewise increasing. Building Information Modeling (BIM) showed many opportunities to raise performance at various stages; it encompasses the building lifecycle, relying on sharing information with all parties involved in the project through a series of processes that connect the project workers. This research contributes to the quality enhancement of the launched projects and is a step towards solving challenges in the Saudi construction industry, by investigating strategies and technologies to develop this sector and provide integrated processes. The objective of this study is to evaluate the Saudi construction sector by defining the critical success factors for implementation of BIM. The research is three-fold: investigate the literature within the Saudi construction sector and global frameworks on the application of BIM; conduct a survey of workers and professionals in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry to identify the factors influencing the implementation of BIM; and analyze those factors based on the value of the factor as defined by BIM benchmarks. The results show that the successful application of BIM is based on policies, infrastructure, and processes; these factors are essential in achieving the implementation of BIM. The development of strategies to implement BIM in the Saudi construction industry through these 15 critical success factors is indicated.
