READINESS ASSESSMENT FOR BIM-BASED BUILDING PERMIT PROCESSES USING FUZZY-COPRAS

With the recent technological advancement in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, building control authorities a number of countries are trying to integrate BIM into their permit processes. Nevertheless, considering involvement multiple stakeholders contexts, adopting any organization is challenging. The aim this research assess readiness for BIM-based processes using Fuzzy-COPRAS, criteria decision making (MCDM) method. In research, three municipalities were selected as alternatives twenty-five (categorized technology, people, process, policies) related identified from literature review. Then, part COPRAS method, weights determined based on importance level through expert evaluation. results study revealed most important processes, i.e., supporting open standards, compatibility with existing regulations codes, willingness employees, support top management, comprehensiveness code compliance checks. Finally, assessment demonstrated prepared alternative process status considered criteria. findings have practical implications and/or developing terms where focus efforts respect associated permits.
