| description | Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an emerging information technology tool and management concept in the construction industry, enabling the transition from traditional 2D drawings to 3D models. It helps improve efficiency and promote industrial upgrading in the construction sector. However, in actual project practices, the effectiveness of BIM application has not been as expected, and the return on investment (ROI) may even be negative. Through a literature review, we found that risk identification, correlation analysis, and risk assessment related to BIM implementation require further research. To better promote the application of BIM in the construction industry, this study employs relevant methods to analyze the risk factors of BIM implementation. Through the literature review, 31 BIM implementation risk factors were identified, and 24 major risk factors were extracted using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. The ISM (Interpretative Structural Modeling) method was then used to determine the interrelationships among these major risk factors, establishing a hierarchical model with seven levels. Through MICMAC (Matrices Impacts Corises-Multiplication Appliance Classment) analysis, the BIM implementation risk factors were categorized into three groups, and three-tiered response strategies were proposed at the industry, organizational, and project levels. By analyzing the main risk factors of BIM application in China’s construction industry and formulating corresponding response strategies to promote its successful application, this study contributes to the knowledge system. The findings also provide a reference for other countries and regions to clarify major risk factors and their interrelationships, thereby improving the effectiveness of BIM implementation. |
