The Information Age or Digital Age is re-shaping the construction industry. As a consequence of the rise of technology and big data, construction standards, processes and policies forming the base of the construction management knowledge are forced to be reviewed, re-evaluated and improved. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been and still is the buzzword within the construction industry for which every professional relates to when innovation, information or digitalisation in mentioned in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry.
This presentation is a summary of a thesis that looks at improving collaboration within project teams by investigating new procurement strategies encouraging integration and knowledge sharing. Collaborative procurement strategies are identified and further analysed to understand the characteristics that make them support collaboration but also differentiate one from another. Opinions and experiences from the AEC industry professionals are collected and further analysed to investigate the level of impact a procurement strategy can have on collaboration working and further on BIM processes, policies and technologies. From the information gathered, a new procurement selection framework is developed in this thesis, using an existing framework published in BS 8534:2011 as the baseline. This new framework will allow the industry to be more aware of the available collaborative procurement strategies and further support the selection process.

Procurement
Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS)
Andrew Kidd (2005)
‘difficulties in defining the term
‘procurement’ are that it does not deal
with a single action or process.
Procurement covers the complete range
of events from the identification of a
need for a good or service through to its
disposal or cessation.’
COLLABORATIVE PROCUREMENT METHODS, by P. L. de Senneville – October 2018
3. ResearchProblem
How can the procurement route selected for a
project affect the implementation of BIM on a
project and how to ease the selection process
of the right procurement strategy for projects
aiming to be delivered using Building
Information Modelling (BIM) processes, policies
and technologies?

Two Stage Open Book
• Client’s brief and project budget is put on the
table, an already formed Tier 1 teams
comprising of consultant(s) and contractor(s)
bid for the works based on the set criteria.
• Shortlisted teams would be presenting a
detailed design with detailed pricing that is to
be within the budget originally expressed,
including details of the Tier 2 companies
tendering for the works.

Integrated Project Insurance / Delivery
• The method does not consider tendering processes but requires the client to appoint an advisory team that would prepare the documentation
necessary to negotiate with one or multiple contractors to form part of the alliance that would complete the works under the target cost.
• Using a collaborative method of gain-share | pain-share, each member of the team is encouraged to give his maximum to help the successful
completion of the project and reduce the costs to a maximum. Major cost overrun risks are also passed to a third insurance company limiting
the risks associated with financial loss to team members.

Cost Led
Very similar to the design and build procurement route, with the necessity of a clear client brief, on which the contractors would tender for the
design and construction of the facility, with a given cost limit. There are no differences in the process of appointing the team. The difference is
that the contractor’s team is not required to provide a lump sum amount at tender stage, but works collaboratively with the client’s team to not
exceed the target cost and design accordingly, using open book accounting method.

The Interlocking Fields of BIM activities
• Succar et al. (2012) set of BIM metrics is used
to define what needs to be looked at when
implementing BIM on a project as it “lay the
foundations for formal certification systems,
which can be used by those procuring
construction projects to pre-select BIM service
providers.”
• The Figure serves both purposes of defining
what needs to be looked at when procuring a
project and therefore which consultant,
specialist and contractor needs to be engaged
and when.
• RACI Responsibility Assignment Matrix is used
for the Comparative Analysis. Information is
collected from literature, guidelines,
government report, institutions, case studies
and general knowledge.
• RIBA Plan of Work stages is further included in
the analysis to provide a Time factor to the
comparison.

Notes:
A) RACI Responsibility Assignment Matrix is used for this Comparative Analysis. Information is collected from literature, guidelines, government report, institutions, case studies and general knowledge.
B) RACI Responsibility Assignment Matrix might differ on a case-to-case basis. Therefore the above comparison is not exclusive, but only informative.
C) Left blank cells to this Matrix is due to unknown or undefined information within the literature reviewed. Blank Cells are identified are gaps within strategies.
D) The use of brackets (e.i. (R)) mean 'might'. For Example, (R) = Might be Responsible, aiming to acknowledge the low probability of such responsibility.
E) BIM Activities in blue letters are additional | deviation of the BIM Activities proposed by Succar et al. (2012), with the aim to improve the accuracy of this comparison
F) Where no information is found relating to Technology and policy fields, the same assumption is used.
