Abstract [en]

This research delves into the tangible economic impact of Building Information Modelling within the Swedish construction industry, with a particular focus on exploring the relationships among the level of BIM implementation, company size, and the perceived benefits derived from BIM.

The study's methodology involved conducting a questionnaire survey, from which a dataset of 128 responses was collected for comprehensive analysis. The study's findings challenge prevailing assumptions by suggesting that the size of a company does not necessarily dictate its likelihood of implementing BIM. This contradicts earlier notions that larger companies have a more significant propensity for BIM adoption. Additionally, the research uncovers a positive correlation between higher levels of BIM implementation and the realization of greater benefits. This correlation underscores the potential of BIM in significantly enhancing construction project outcomes. By bridging empirical insights from industry professionals and a robust questionnaire survey, this study provides valuable contributions to the understanding of how BIM can improve performance in the construction sector. 

These results emphasize the importance of considering BIM's potential benefits beyond the scope of company size and offer fresh perspectives on the dynamics between BIM implementation and perceived advantages in the construction project context.

Abstract [en]

The research presented, employs a mixed-methods approach, addresses the pressing need for a unified method to quantify the impact of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction industry projects. The research navigates various stages, starting with a literature review that uncovers a lack of consensus on BIM’s investment value and benefits monetization. Employing a research design consisting of several sub-studies, including a literature review, interviews, questionnaire survey, and multi-case study. The research also introduces a quantification framework for BIM, bridging theoretical insights and practical application. Through empirical testing on two real-world construction cases, the framework supports its efficacy in assessing BIM benefits and the cost impact of implementing BIM. Furthermore, comparisons with in-house estimates highlight the framework’s comprehensiveness.

The findings contribute methodologically and empirically to the ongoing discourse on BIM impact, offering a valuable tool for industry practitioners to assess feasibility and maximize benefits in a targeted manner. The research reveals a positive correlation between BIM maturity and perceived benefits, emphasizing the need for higher-level BIM implementation. The research underscores the long-term opportunities with BIM as an investment and its potential for transformative benefits across the construction project lifecycle.

Abstract [sv]

Forskningen som presenteras i denna avhandling har använt flera metoder i flera delstudier och adresserar behovet av en enhetlig metod för att kvantifiera fördelarna med byggnadsinformationsmodellering (BIM) inom byggindustrin. Det har under forskningens gång genomförts noggranna undersökningar i flera steg och iterationer. Inledningsvis genomfördes en litteraturstudie där resultatet visade på en avsaknad av konsensus kring investeringsvärdet av BIM och monetariseringen av dess fördelar. Forskningen är utformad i delstudier, inklusive en litteraturöversikt, intervjuer, enkätundersökningar och multipla fallstudier. 

Forskningen introducerar också ett ramverk för kvantifiering av BIM som bidrar till att skapa en brygga mellan teoretiska insikter och praktisk tillämpning. Genom empirisk applicering på två verkliga byggprojekt demonstreras ramverketseffektivitet gällande att utvärdera fördelarna med BIM samt kostnadspåverkan av BIM-implementering. Vidare visas jämförelser med företagsinterna uppskattningar på ramverkets omfattning och tillämpningsbarhet. Resultaten bidrar både metodologiskt och empiriskt till den pågående diskursen om BIM och erbjuder ett värdefullt verktyg för branschpraktiker att bedöma genomförbarhet och optimera fördelar på ett målinriktat sätt. Forskningen identifierar även en positiv korrelation mellan BIM-mognad och upplevda fördelar, vilket understryker behovet av BIM-implementering på en högre nivå. Forskningen framhäver långsiktiga möjligheter med investering av BIM och dess potential att generera transformativa fördelar genom hela byggprojektets livscykel.
