Questions 1: How BIM can enhance collaboration among project stakeholder?
Background of the question:
The collaboration between the stakeholders implies that it is a process which is
performed in the organizations and in businesses to benefit the organization or the business.
When the collaboration process among the stakeholders is performed well, then the
organization gets the benefit. Otherwise, it may have some negative effects also. Here the
project stakeholder means is another group or it can be an organization which can affect or
can be affected by activity, decision and the outcome of the project. In many cases the BIM is
not used because it has some major flaws in it. There is a huge doubt about the outcome of
the BIM planning. The BIM is not a good choice for a small project, high cost of BIM
implementation and lack of demand and lack of BIM expertise is the main reason behind the
people are not considering the BIM. There are also various problems related to the
stakeholder collaboration. The main problems are that the stakeholder collaboration process
is very much time to consume and also it is very much expensive (Jung et al. 2015). The
stakeholder collaboration can cause a culture clash also.
The building information modelling has a vast impact on the building project for
which the BIM is adopted. Means the stakeholders of the building project will also be
impacted by the BIM (Abanda and Byers 2016). In this part of the essay how the BIM can
enhance the collaboration among the stakeholders of the project will be discussed. In this
case, two types of things can happen. The first is, collaboration can be done previously in the
process of the design, and a new relationship can be stronger by the implementation of the
BIM. Secondly, the database which is extracted from the building information modelling can
be used to integrate the non-expert and expert knowledge (Binder 2016). For the first case,
the BIM helps to enhance the collaboration between the stakeholders by encouraging the

construction process and by encouraging the integrated design. In this case, an early
collaboration among the design team members has been done, and these design team
members are the active stakeholders in a building project. The above mentioned progress can
also be termed as Integrated Project Delivery (El Asmar, Hanna and Loh 2013). Using the
tools of the BIM and the integrated project delivery it actually helps to integrate the building
system, participants and the practices of the business in a specific type of process which can
benefit the building project by gathering knowledge from everyone involved in the project
(Bryde, Broquetas and Volm 2013).
Comparison of Different Sources:
In the “BIM Impacts on Stakeholder Collaboration & Workflows” it is mentioned that
how the sector of the AEC the key stakeholders involved in a project can directly
benefit from the implementation of the building information modelling. The BIM can
improve the collaboration among the stakeholders by adding more value to the
project. According to the author it can enhance contractual aspects, promote training,
enhance technology and can develop standards and protocols which can add value to
the project.
In “A study of BIM collaboration requirements and available features in existing
model collaboration systems” (Shafiq, Matthews and Lockley 2013) the author stated
that collaboration could also help to increase the capacity of the organization which
actually enhance the project management performance during the construction and the
design process. All the AEC stakeholders have some individual demands and
workflow which makes different BIM value for different stakeholders. The value of
the BIM can be changed according to the building phase of the project or the in the
basis of stakeholder specialization.

In “Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Design in Civil and
Environmental Engineering (pp. 32-40)” the authors Ratajczak et al. stated the limits
of BIM such as less client demands, high costs and the shortage of expertise.
In the article “International Journal of Construction Education and Research, 11(2),
pp.97-120” the authors Zhao et al. found that gathering the knowledge about the BIM
is not the final goal, also collaboration is needed for solving the practical construction
with BIM.
In the article of “Collaboration in building information modelling: an application of
gaming theory” the author Olatunji, Sher and Gu discussed the three models of the
Game Theory which can be used in the BIM environment for copying certain
implications.
In the “Automation in Construction” article the authors (Karan and Irizarry 2015)
critically describes the BIM issues which are the interoperability issue between the
software which can hamper the normal output value of the BIM, and different
stakeholders of the project agree on this issue. In the “The Lancet Neurology” the
authors have analysed that the Western Europe stakeholders are having a different
type of business perception value of the BIM (Wu et al. 2016). In this case, the BIM
gives benefits to the contractors. Actually, the BIM is benefitting the stakeholders in a
different way.
In “Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 24(6), pp.1350-1371”
article the author Teo Ai Lin et al. has founded that how the BIM model can increase
safety and productivity score in the construction project.
The author Azhar in his article “Leadership and management in engineering, 11(3),
pp.241-252” has described that the BIM is capable to simulate the total construction
