Building information modelling: Literature review on model to determine the level of uptake by the organisation

Abstract

Building Information Modelling has been recognised as one of the Information Technology/Information Systems that could assist construction delivery in achieving Integrated Practice. However, the level of uptake currently varies between one organisation to another and has raised the need to determine whether the uptake is moving towards integrated practice or not. Through a literature review, this paper discussed a few models that that could be used to determine the level of uptake and they are CMMI, (PM)², SPICE, BEACON, VERDICT, i-CMM and BIMMi. This paper concludes that VERDICT, i-CMM and BIMMi can be used to determine the level of uptake. The selection of the model, however, depends on the purpose and area of evaluation.
