BIM for Deconstruction: An Interpretive Structural Model of Factors Influencing Implementation

Transitioning from demolition to deconstruction practices for end-of-life performances is gaining increasing attention following the need construction industry minimise and waste. Building information modelling (BIM) presents an opportunity sustainable deconstruction. However, notion of BIM (BIMfD) still in its infancy United Kingdom. Although a few studies on BIMfD are evident, focus identifying underlying factors necessary successful implementation lacking. The purpose this study was identify analyse UK industry. It employed four-stage research design. reviewed literature explored extant views initial list possible influencing implementation. Subsequently, mix questionnaire, group discussions structured interviews were at various stages refine contextualise 15 contextual interrelationships among evaluated using interpretive (ISM). This evaluation culminated factor model. findings identified experts, responsiveness business models innovative industry’s acceptance embrace change as principal UK. implications attest that experts advisors must champion adoption become more responsive accommodate practices.
