Abstract

Due to dynamic organizations and unexpected conditions on project sites, the construction industry has suffered from schedule and cost overruns. Researchers have applied building information modeling (BIM) and supply chain management (SCM) concepts to integrate diverse stakeholders, and further, improve efficiency in construction projects. BIM can support supply chain integration (SCI) by providing reliable up-to-date information on a project, which reduces resource waste and completes the project as planned. Specifically, sharing updated material information, including the state of material fabrication, current location, each material's due date on site, and site inventory status, is crucial for successful project execution because such data changes often. However, current information sharing via BIM is limited in order to achieve the desired level of supply chain integration. By capturing the state-of-practice and state-of-the-art, this study compiles the status of information sharing using BIM and the suggestions of BIM application against the desired level of information sharing to support supply chain integration. The results provide information sharing maturity in the construction industry and which areas need to be improved to achieve the desired level of information sharing. Based on the results, the study aims to suggest a direction for future research on material information sharing using BIM.
