Research on Cost and Benefit of BIM Application for Construction Enterprises in China
Building Information Modelling (BIM) was considered as an effective management tool in improving construction project performance. However, the research into the investment and return on BIM application in the context of the Chinese construction industry is still very limited. Through literature review, the cost factors and benefit indicators of BIM application in construction enterprises were identified, and an evaluation framework of BIM application cost and benefit for the construction enterprises was developed. The questionnaire survey was conducted with 37 BIM professionals to determine the critical cost factors and benefit indicators of BIM application in construction enterprises through the relative importance index (RII) approach. The results indicate that personnel salary (0.707), hardware cost associated with BIM software operation (0.680) and consulting service fee (0.647) are critical cost factors for BIM application, whereas reduction of change (0.847), improvement of design quality (0.847), and reduction of project rework (0.820) are critical benefit indicators for BIM application. The research results provide a theoretical basis for construction enterprises to formulate BIM development strategies.
