Abstract

This paper describes a process that an organization can use to develop its organizational capabilities through the use of Building Information Model (BIM). The process involves identifying and tapping the skills of its employees to deliver lean and green projects. This paper aims to identify the various capabilities necessary to effectively implement Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. The study was conducted through a mixed-method approach. It revealed that adopting a BIM adoption culture is necessary for an organization to achieve desired project outcomes. Through a study, the authors of the proposed framework stated that adopting a BIM-based approach can help organizations improve their project outcomes and reduce their carbon footprint. They also noted that it can help them focus on the human factors within their organizations. This paper explores the importance of the social and technical skills of an employee in developing an organization's capabilities to achieve green and lean results.
