Abstract/Summary
In an increasingly demanding world for infrastructure, technological methods have been found to assist construction project's. As innovative construction methods are constantly increasing, so is the demand for technological needs within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. To ensure technological adoption, many countries have started to mandate higher levels of building information modeling (BIM) documentation beyond the 2D construction documents traditionally required throughout construction review and permitting. Some companies have capitalized on this change to the extent of making BIM their primary business. These companies focus solely on virtual design and construction (VDC) and determine whether clients lacking this specialty should outsource their technological needs or invest in their own VDC department. Through attitudinal research, three interviews were conducted to understand contractors’ response to the implementation of a platform that links contractors to freelance modelers specializing in VDC. This research aims to better understand if the use of a third-party platform is effective for contractors that are unwilling to adapt to mandated BIM requirements.
