Abstract

In this paper, we explore how BIM functionalities together with novel
management concepts and methods have been utilized in thirteen hospital
projects in the United States and the United Kingdom. Secondary data collection
and analysis were used as the method. Initial findings indicate that the utilization
of BIM enables a holistic view of project delivery and helps to integrate project
parties into a collaborative process. The initiative to implement BIM must come
from the top down to enable early involvement of all key stakeholders. It seems
that it is rather resistance from people to adapt to the new way of working and
thinking than immaturity of technology that hinders the utilization of BIM.
