| Abstract | The evolving digital technologies and emerging practices of Building Information Modelling (BIM) represent an opportunity to transform existing modes of design, construction and operation. This paper discusses empirical findings from an ongoing longitudinal case study of a BIM implementation, specific the transition of BIM from the design office to the site environment and from the design phase to delivery phase. Interviews were conducted with BIM innovators and users working for a large international contractor on a major hospital development project in the United Kingdom. The analysis draws on Van de Ven's model of the 'innovation journey' and the associated analytical categories of; ideas, people, transactions, context and outcomes. Analysis of the development and use of BIM on the project reveals the emergent and dynamic nature of the innovation process as it unfolded over time. Although the accounts of the BIM development bore many similarities with the innovation journey findings, we found suggestions of differences in the areas of 'people' and 'context' where our respondents seems too have created more stable and manageable situation than the innovation journey concept would predict. |
