A lean construction and BIM interaction model for the construction industry

An Analytical Network Process (ANP) was created to test the Lean and BIM concepts with data collected from U.S. companies find success factors of Lean/BIM framework. After an extensive literature review, a total 17 sub-categories for are classified into three clusters, namely Communication, Production, Visualization. ANP network is then established station links between attributes framework while computing their importance weights. Eight experienced civil engineers took part in questionnaire study assess relations attributes. The main purpose this reveal synergy different components reflecting present on comprehensive model. results indicate that Production prominent cluster Control, Standardization Information accuracy most important synergy. To validate model, five construction projects were selected observe accordingly. expected help industry leaders set priorities, benefit more interaction BIM, revise strategies This identifies categories subcategories as roadmap research implementation. In context, reveals relationship categories/subcategories along weights less implementation research.
