Effect of Behavioural Biases on BIM Incentivization: Structural Equation Modelling Analysis

The benefit of BIM could vary significantly with the breadth, depth, and level of its employment on the project. The proliferation of BIM is most likely to take an S-curve trajectory. Initially, BIM is taken as an add-on to existing project information systems. However, ill-fit delivery environments could militate against the potential of BIM for efficiency improvement. This research takes a lifecycle perspective to explore the internal benefit of BIM mandates in improving project performance and its external benefit in raising the awareness and thus acceptance of advanced incentivisation measures. This robust empirical finding can provide a major piece of evidence in understanding the evolution of BIM in the context of the delivery environment.
