Abstract
Purpose Building Information Modelling (BIM) has received wide coverage within the research, academic and industry communities over the last decade. Yet, its degree of integration with various industry standards in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector varies extensively. An exploratory research approach explores the interoperability between the CDM Regulations and BIM Design/methodology/approach The research design comprised: (1) a methodical ëstate-of-the-artí review of extant literatureóexploring some 19 variables emerging from the literature review; (2) detailed content analyses of the current CDM regime (CDM 2015); and (3) conducting a ëtestí to map and determine the degree of interoperability between BIM and CDM. The study develops several meta-matrices, and a framework for BIM and CDM interoperability. Findings New insight reveals that BIM provides a systematic approach for the discharge of CDM obligations. The framework developed is easily transferable into BIM Common Data Environments (CDEs) and offers an expeditious discharge of CDM obligations. Research limitations/implications (if applicable) Some features of the developed BIM/CDM interoperability framework invite further tests to predicate the degree of discharge of CDM obligations. Duties related to provision of preconstruction information invite further research. Originality/value Little research provides insight into the interoperability of BIM and the Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations. Therefore, this study contributes to the knowledge relating to the degree of interoperability of BIM in construction systems, processes and standards
