Purpose

Building information modelling (BIM) technology adoption is growing rapidly because of its perceived benefits. The purpose of this paper is to assess the perceptions of the users of BIM regarding the likelihood of managerial risks emergence that might influence the successful application of BIM, to facilitate the successful implementation of BIM in the construction industry.

Design/methodology/approach

Emerging managerial BIM risks were extracted from the literature. The primary data were collected via a questionnaire survey. The analysis of the results was driven by univariate and inferential statistics (analysis of variance ) to assess the emergence of managerial risks.

Findings

The study confirmed the nine most likely managerial risks that might emerge from BIM adoption, which are lack of understanding of the expectations from BIM modelling, lack of experienced and skilled personnel, lack of clarity on integration of BIM with the current business practice, conflict because of dissimilar expectations from BIM, lack of collaborative work processes and standards, lack of understanding of BIM processes, lack of understanding modelling behaviours, lack of expertise within the project team, lack of expertise within the organizations and lack of criteria for BIM project implementation.

Research limitations/implications

The results will intensify the discussion about BIM risks, risk allocation and other aspects that are related to BIM methodology. The compiled list of managerial risks will help stakeholders in assessing financial implications that may result from BIM application. The list of risks could be used in pricing consultancy and construction services. More importantly, the list might be useful in developing an international standard for BIM risk management. The results showed that BIM success depends on the close collaboration, at the outset of the project, with contractors, consultants, designers and client.

Originality/value

Important managerial risks have been identified in the adoption of BIM. It renders a new understanding of the risks that might influence the successful application of BIM.

应用建筑信息模型会产生新的管理风险

目的

建筑信息模型（BIM）技术的应用正迅速增长，因为它具有明显的优势。本文的目的是评估BIM用户对可能影响BIM成功应用的管理风险出现可能性的看法，以促进BIM在建筑行业中的成功实施。

设计/方法/方法

从文献中提取了新兴的BIM管理风险。原始数据是通过问卷调查收集的。结果的分析由单变量和推论统计（方差分析）驱动，以评估管理风险的出现。

发现

该研究证实了采用BIM可能产生的九种最可能的管理风险，这是由于缺乏对BIM建模期望的理解，缺乏经验丰富的熟练技术人员，缺乏将BIM与当前业务实践集成的清晰性，冲突是因为对BIM的期望不尽相同，缺乏协作工作流程和标准，对BIM流程缺乏理解，对建模行为缺乏理解，项目团队内部缺乏专业知识，组织内部缺乏专业知识以及BIM项目实施的标准缺乏。

研究局限/意义

结果将加强有关BIM风险，风险分配以及与BIM方法论相关的其他方面的讨论。汇总的管理风险清单将帮助利益相关者评估BIM应用可能产生的财务影响。风险清单可用于价格咨询和建筑服务。更重要的是，该清单对于制定BIM风险管理的国际标准可能很有用。结果表明，BIM的成功取决于项目开始时与承包商，顾问，设计师和客户的密切合作。

创意/价值

在采用BIM时，已经发现了重要的管理风险。它对可能影响BIM成功应用的风险有了新的认识。
