Research reaching practice
Professor Amir’s BIM research helped inform the goals assessed in a Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors investigation of technology adoption and education.
How the research was used
The report uses the team’s research to explain how BIM supports constructability review and reduces preconstruction risks. Its literature review supplies goals and barriers for the study’s questionnaire, with the research included in its comparison of BIM goals.
The documented contribution
The research informs the investigation’s evidence framework; the report does not establish that its recommendations were implemented or that Professor Amir authored the institute’s guidance.
