Abstract
This paper explores critical factors impacting the integration of experiential
knowledge into BIM implementation for improved decision-making in building
construction projects. The construction industry is a knowledge-intensive industry, and knowledge has been identified as a vital resource for improving decision-making. Therefore, integrating experiential knowledge and BIM implementation could help construction organisations make informed decisions while implementing BIM in building construction projects. Nevertheless, the effective integration of experiential knowledge into BIM implementation can be influenced by some factors. This study started with a comprehensive review of the extant literature on factors impacting BIM and experiential knowledge integration, followed by interviews with 30 subject experts within the UK construction industry. Twenty-six factors were extracted through the comprehensive review of extant literature and categorised into three groups: individual-related, team-related, and organisational-related factors. The interviewees also identified job security, litigation and sufficient budgetary allocation as additional factors impacting the integration process. These critical factors can enhance the ease with which construction firms integrate experiential knowledge into BIM implementation for improved decision-making and help them to realise the benefits accruable from the integration process.
