Abstract
5D-BIM, a well-acknowledged innovation in construction, has been recognized to have positive influence on project performance and organizational effectiveness by both academic scholars and industry practitioners. In spite of such awareness and recognition, its adoption is still in the early stage in Hong Kong quantity surveying due to various challenges. Therefore, this research aims at investigating how 5D-BIM can be fostered by providing an overview of innovation in Hong Kong quantity surveying firstly, then exploring the impacts of various management strategies on 5D-BIM adoption and followed by giving some implementation strategies finally. The results of the questionnaire survey study indicate that innovation (5D-BIM) adoption is positively predicted by innovation climate and learning transfer climate and that 5D-BIM adoption in heterogeneous construction parties are motivated by different factors of innovation and learning transfer climates (e.g., support for innovation, performance self-efficacy, openness to change are essential management strategy factors for innovation in client developers’ organizations; factors of support for innovation and openness to change are important to innovation in contractors’ organizations; and factors of resource supply and performance-outcome expectation are essential to innovation in consultants’ organizations). Then cases of 5D-BIM adoption in Hong Kong are offered to validate the survey findings and to serve as the basis for proposing 5D-BIM implementation strategies for major construction parties.
