Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been developed to enhance the collaboration performances of the construction industry by facilitating a more integrated design. However BIM has limited benefits if not used appropriately. Due to the limits, further research is necessary to improve the project teams' collaboration performance. Previous studies focused on the benefits of measuring performance for a better management. Hence, this research aims to identify and investigate appropriate indicators to measure collaboration performance in a BIM environment. A survey supported by the Delphi method was conducted to evaluate indicators regarding two quality factors, which are appropriateness and suitability. To identify the ten most important performance indicators, a series of experts' interviews were performed to set up an interpretation of key indicators. The results show that the indicators present a non-linear relation with collaboration performance, contrary to what previous BIM performance evaluation methods used. This research contributes to the efficiency of BIM practitioners and researchers in analyzing the collaboration performance. Ultimately, it will contribute to the quantification of BIM collaboration performance and the comparison of more efficient BIM collaborative practices.
