AHP based weighting system for BIM implementation & assessment framework

BIM is a newly emerged concept improves the productivity and sustainability of Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) projects. The recent evolution of Building Information Modelling (BIM) reached a bottleneck, where BIM´s effectiveness need to be identified for further improvement. It also provides users with a guidance and assistance, with priorities of implementation, is urgently needed. In previous research, a BIM implementation model has been proposed based on existing documentations and verified by Delphi methods for deep exploration in a particular context. As part of this continuous research, the AHP method has been adopted as a follow-up research method which will be presented in this paper. An analytical hierarchy model was concluded for a leading design organisation, including project management, organisational management, BIM application and stakeholder involvement. Ten experienced senior engineers from the management team have participated in the AHP questionnaire. Sensitivity analysis has also been adopted to balance resource input in order to meet specific corporate strategies.
