摘要

The worldwide focus of BIM implementation and research has predominantly been on design, construction, and operations and maintenance (O&M) of new facilities, overlooking its use for the O&M of existing facilities. This is primarily because most of the existing global infrastructure facilities have been designed without BIM. Moreover, the ability of institutional settings to support facility management (FM) organizations to embrace BIM for managing the existing built environment has so far received minimal attention. This study employs institutional theory to investigate the impact of coercive, mimetic, and normative pressures on BIM adoption for O&M of existing facilities. A comprehensive literature review identified 17 barriers and 13 facilitators influencing BIM adoption. Subsequently, a qualitative approach to data collection and analysis, involving semi-structured interviews with 33 construction industry experts via MS Teams and NVivo 12.0, was employed. Qualitative analysis identified novel themes related to barriers, whereas quantitative analysis identified critical barriers and facilitators. Additionally, a holistic framework based on institutional theory has been proposed, emphasizing classification of various facilitators into coercive, normative, and mimetic categories and further exploring their roles in mitigating critical and non-critical barriers. The framework concluded that BIM implementation for O&M of existing facilities can be significantly enhanced by integrating coercive and mimetic drivers or normative and mimetic drivers.
