Assessing the performance of the BIM implementation process: a case study

Abstract

The article proposes a system of indicators for measuring the performance of BIM projects. Proposed indicators are divided into groups as follows: quantitative (cost and time related numerical values) and qualitative (verbally expressed measures recalculated to scores according to the proposed four-point rating scale). The metrics include the time and cost variations, the assessment of the organizational scale of BIM deployment, BIM competency granularity level, BIM capability level, BIM maturity level. In the case study, the proposed indicators are applied for evaluating the results of the construction project. The limitations and difficulties faced up during the project implementation were discussed, and the benefits of the application of the BIM methodology were revealed. The application of the proposed methodology is useful in assessing at which level the BIM is applied in construction projects and measuring the progress towards achieving project goals. The proposed methodology can also be applied for constant monitoring of the BIM implementation in construction projects.
