Adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the global construction industry is fast growing. This paper expounds the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for BIM implementation and explore their ranking and underlying relationships. A total of 28 CSFs was identified from the review of previous studies on success factors. Survey questionnaire containing these 28 factors was used to collect data from industry practitioners in Nigeria. Benchmark metrics was developed to rank the success factors. The topmost five success factors for BIM implementation in order of importance are: standard platforms for integration and communication; cost of development; education and training; standardization (product and process); and clear definition and understanding of users’ requirement. Analysis of variance shows that significant differences exist in the pattern of rating for the topmost CSFs based on turnover. Factor analysis was further adopted to group the 28 CSFs into five components, using rotated component matrix method. The five components extracted are: (i) industry stakeholders’ commitment and knowledge of BIM, (ii) capacity building for technology adoption, (iii) organisational support, (iv) collaborative synergy among industry professional and (v) cultural orientation. The rankings of the CSFs provide basis for prioritising the most significant factors that industry stakeholders should focus attention for successful implementation of BIM. In addition, the underlying relationships among the success factors identified in this study, will assist industry stakeholders to determine best strategy to adopt in implementing BIM at industry level.

建筑信息建模实施的关键成功因素

全球建筑行业对建筑信息模型（BIM）的采用正在迅速增长。本文阐述了BIM实施的关键成功因素（CSF），并探讨了它们的排名和基本关系。回顾以往关于成功因素的研究，共鉴定出28个脑脊液。包含这28个因素的调查问卷用于从尼日利亚的行业从业人员收集数据。制定了基准指标以对成功因素进行排名。BIM实施成功的最重要的五个因素是：集成和通信的标准平台；开发成本；教育和培训; 标准化（产品和过程）；明确定义和理解用户需求。方差分析表明，基于营业额的最高CSF评级模式存在显着差异。通过旋转成分矩阵法，进一步采用因子分析将28种脑脊液分为5个成分。提取的五个组成部分是：（i）行业利益相关者对BIM的承诺和知识；（ii）技术采用的能力建设；（iii）组织支持；（iv）行业专业人员之间的协作协同作用；以及（v）文化取向。CSF的排名为优先考虑行业利益相关者应注意成功实施BIM的最重要因素提供了基础。此外，在这项研究中确定的成功因素之间的潜在关系，
