Abstract

It has been shown that the traditional contract model, which is widely used in the Saudi Arabian construction industry, is no longer suitable for handling complex construction projects. Therefore, a collaborative project delivery system, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), should be introduced. In addition, collaborative tools such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) should be used to improve communication among project stakeholders. Hence, this study focuses on exploring and investigating the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) factors for integrated project delivery that supports BIM-based construction projects in Saudi Arabia. Besides, determining the best strategies for implementation. In the first phase, SWOT factors for integrated project delivery contract model in supporting BIM-based construction projects were identified through a literature review, expert¡¯s opinions, and questionnaire survey to rank the importance level of the selected factors in the Saudi Arabian construction industry. Resulted, 17 SWOT factors were ranked using the means and standard deviations values. In the second phase, the top priority factors under each SWOT were selected in order to develop the AHP model with the best strategies. A confirmatory approach was used to validate the results to create a final AHP model. The weight aggregation of SWOT factors and strategies were then analysed. As a result, the most critical factors for each SWOT factors and implementation strategies were identified, namely SO strategy, WO strategy, ST strategy, and WT strategy. The results were then validated by experts to ensure that these strategies are applicable in the construction industry in Saudi Arabia.
