- Abstract:
<p>Digital technologies and information systems are challenging the construction industry. Existing literature focuses on different digital technologies‚ÄØin construction projects and the intricacies around technology improvement itself.‚ÄØHowever, there are limited discussions about how construction management (CM) organisations respond to disruptive change and pursue business model innovation.‚ÄØDrawing from emerging literature on digital disruption, we argue how the ‘Total BIM’ approach can disrupt the way value is created in a construction project. ‘Total BIM’ could be described as an‚ÄØapproach where the design process and BIM are focused on production orientated design and BIM is used as the legally binding construction document. A construction management company in Sweden implemented the ‘Total BIM’ concept that‚ÄØembraced it to the fullest in the Celsius project This paper is based on data from in-depth‚ÄØinterviews with construction management company practitioners from the Celsius project. It frames such improvement as a digital disruption which transforms the current traditional business models‚ÄØheavily‚ÄØbased on the parallel processes of producing and maintaining 2D drawings for the construction site.‚ÄØFindings illustrate how the ‘Total BIM’ approach disturbs the existing‚ÄØroles, relations, and processes, creating cross organisational and systematic shifts.</p>
