Goal-driven method for sustainable evaluation of BIM project success level

Existing Building Information Modeling (BIM) evaluation methods focus on the maturity of BIM rather than how successful a project is because of BIM implementation. This study proposes a goal-driven method for sustainable evaluation of a BIM project's success level on the premise that a project's success cannot be evaluated without identifying its goals. We first identify candidateKey Performance Indicators (KPIs) required for measuring the success levels of goals and those that can be derived using certain types of BIM uses. Then, the final KPIs are selected by reevaluating the candidate KPIs with respect to collectability, measurability, and comparability. The final step involves identifying and developing processes and forms for collecting data while conducting daily tasks. The proposed method has been applied to two projects. The projects showed the possibility of using the goal-driven method as an effective means of assessing the BIM project's success level.
