Abstract
The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) will definitely improve the efficiency and quality of the AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry. However, many factors need to be improved before BIM adoption. Based on the interaction between institutions and technology, factors affecting BIM adoption in AEC organizations, within the context of China, are identified and analyzed. Firstly, 21 factors are identified by literature research. Then, an interpretive structural model (ISM) technique is used to establish a hierarchical structure, and matrix impacts cross-reference multiplication applied to a classification (MICMAC) is used for factor classification. The results indicate that corporate/project leadership and software functionality are the two fundamental factors. What’s more, the dynamic mechanism has gradually changed from top-down to a combination of top-down and bottom-up.
期刊介绍：
Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050) is an international and cross-disciplinary scholarly, open access journal of environmental, cultural, economic and social sustainability of human beings, which provides an advanced forum for studies related to sustainability and sustainable development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications and short notes, and there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research relating to natural sciences, social sciences and humanities in as much detail as possible in order to promote scientific predictions and impact assessments of global change and development. Full experimental and methodical details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
