Building Information Modeling (BIM) Implementation in Public–Private Partnership (PPP) Projects †

Abstract

Studies about the challenges and lessons learned from Public–Private partnerships (PPPs) exist in construction all around the world, yet it is not certain how to use these challenges to improve the performance of projects. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has great potential to improve collaboration in PPPs. However, implementing this technology requires new steps rather than the traditional approaches. This study aims to resolve the implementation dilemma by proposing a BIM Implementation Plan. The methodology includes evaluating BIM adaptation at the company and project levels via PPP case studies. Results will show major drivers and barriers to utilizing BIM in PPPs.
