Abstract

Purpose

The primary objective of this study is to analyze the correlation between the application of building information modeling (BIM), the construction project success (CPS) and project control. Additionally, this research aims to explore the potential mediating effect of project control on the link between BIM and construction project success in the Malaysian construction industry.

Design/methodology/approach

The present study employs a quantitative research methodology and adheres to a positivist research philosophy in order to examine the influence of BIM implementation on the CPS and project control within the Malaysian construction sector. The data were collected by structured questionnaire survey from 200 respondents using a purposive sampling strategy, and the results were analyzed by using partial least square (PLS)-structural equation modeling (SEM). The study's findings are all the more noteworthy since, despite the small sample size, 218 persons genuinely participated thanks to the purposive sampling approach.

Findings

The findings of this study indicate that there are notable and positive associations between various variables related to the implementation of BIM. These variables include accurate quantities and estimations, risk management, facility management integration, optimized resource allocation and real-time monitoring. Furthermore, these relationships are observed to have a significant impact on both CPS and project control. The study revealed that project control serves as a mediator in the relationship between the deployment of BIM and the CPS in the Malaysian construction sector, with the exception of its influence on risk management.

Originality/value

The originality of this research consists in examining the mediating function of project control in the relationship between BIM implementation and CPS. This study contributes to the existing knowledge by enhancing our understanding of the processes via which BIM positively influences project outcomes.

马来西亚建筑业建筑信息模型（BIM）的实施与建筑项目的成功：项目控制的中介作用

目的本研究的主要目的是分析建筑信息模型（BIM）的应用、建筑项目成功（CPS）和项目控制之间的相关性。本研究采用定量研究方法，秉承实证主义研究理念，旨在研究 BIM 的实施对马来西亚建筑行业 CPS 和项目控制的影响。采用目的性抽样策略，通过对 200 名受访者进行结构化问卷调查来收集数据，并使用偏最小二乘法（PLS）-结构方程模型（SEM）对结果进行分析。尽管样本量较小，但由于采用了有目的的抽样方法，218 人真正参与了调查，因此研究结果更值得注意。研究结果本研究结果表明，与实施 BIM 相关的各种变量之间存在显著的正相关关系。这些变量包括准确的数量和估算、风险管理、设施管理整合、优化资源分配和实时监控。此外，还观察到这些关系对 CPS 和项目控制都有重大影响。研究表明，在马来西亚建筑行业，项目控制是 BIM 部署与 CPS 之间关系的中介，但其对风险管理的影响除外。本研究通过加强我们对 BIM 积极影响项目成果的过程的理解，为现有知识做出了贡献。

期刊介绍： ECAM publishes original peer-reviewed research papers, case studies, technical notes, book reviews, features, discussions and other contemporary articles that advance research and practice in engineering, construction and architectural management. In particular, ECAM seeks to advance integrated design and construction practices, project lifecycle management, and sustainable construction. The journal’s scope covers all aspects of architectural design, design management, construction/project management, engineering management of major infrastructure projects, and the operation and management of constructed facilities. ECAM also addresses the technological, process, economic/business, environmental/sustainability, political, and social/human developments that influence the construction project delivery process. ECAM strives to establish strong theoretical and empirical debates in the above areas of engineering, architecture, and construction research. Papers should be heavily integrated with the existing and current body of knowledge within the field and develop explicit and novel contributions. Acknowledging the global character of the field, we welcome papers on regional studies but encourage authors to position the work within the broader international context by reviewing and comparing findings from their regional study with studies conducted in other regions or countries whenever possible.
