Critical barrier factors of applying building information modeling (BIM) technology in chengdu's medical building construction projects (MBCPS)
Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic and the aging population in Chengdu have had profound impacts on the medical industry, particularly in terms of the demand and construction of hospital treatment facilities. Therefore, exploring BIM technologies in Chengdu's MBCPs is crucial. This mixed-method study examines Chengdu's MBCPs primary BIM technology adoption barrier factors using literature reviews, expert interviews, questionnaire surveys, and the Relative Importance Index (Rll) method. The study preliminarily identified 12 potential barrier factors to the application of BIM, categorized into four main groups: Cost Factor (CF), People Factor (PF), Technical Factor (TF), and Organizational Factor (OF). The study uses non-parametric rank sum analysis to compare the perceptions of these barrier characteristics among BIM technology users and their industry roles (e.g., managers, designers, engineers). This study not only identifies the Top six critical barrier factors affecting the application of BIM in Chengdu's MBCPs but also proposes targeted strategies to overcome these barriers; it will help to strengthen the wide application of BIM technology in Chengdu's MBCPs. These findings offer valuable insights and guidance for construction industry professionals, helping them to implement and utilize BIM technology more effectively in the face of current challenges and propagate wider acceptance and significant use of BIM in MBCPs and the Construction Industry (Cl)
