Development of Conceptual Framework Influencing the Success of Collaboration among Organisation in Managing BIM Construction Project Based on Client Perspectives

Collaboration is one of the most significant advantages of BIM as a process and platform in general, functioning as the best Building Information Modelling (BIM) solution enables the sharing of relevant and real information with various groups of individuals, such as designers, managers, and all of stakeholders. There is a dispute in handling BIM collaboration which makes it difficult for the client organization to manage their project. In addition, as client perspectives especially there is no specific procedure or reference that can be used as a guideline in implementing BIM collaboration. Therefore, there is a need to develop conceptual framework influencing the success of collaboration among organisation in managing BIM project based on client perspectives. This research study focused on three objectives which (i) to identify the current existing practices on the collaboration among organisation in the BIM projects based on client perspective to enhance the BIM collaboration in the building and infrastructure projects organisation; (ii) to investigate the factor influencing the success of collaboration among organisation in BIM projects based on client perspectives and (iii) to develop conceptual framework influencing the success of collaboration among organisation in managing BIM project based on client perspectives. Methodology for this research study is systematic literature review (SLR) and questionnaire survey were involved 30 respondents that have an experience in BIM construction projects. The data from the questionnaire survey was processed and analyzed using the ranking analysis via mean and standard deviation in order to rank the factor for both objectives. Finally, based on the consolidated of findings, a conceptual framework for collaboration among organisation in BIM construction projects based on client perspectives can be develop. The conceptual framework can describe the relationship between the variables under study and can be initial database as guidelines to the client organisation and other construction players where can enhancing BIM collaboration in construction projects.
