As the benefits of BIM are widely marketed and adoption
increases, many construction owners are now mandating
that it be utilized on new construction projects.
However, the change in traditional processes associated
with implementation may be very new to them.
As a result:
o They are often unsure of what deliverables and processes to require
o They lack the technical capabilities to operationalize BIM during
O&M

Assess the level of BIM readiness among US building owner
organizations.
Identify what critical factors must be measured in the
evaluation of building owners’ BIM competency.
Determine the perceived importance of those factors by
leading experts in the research domain.
Develop a framework for assisting owner organizations in
evaluating their BIM competency.
