| Software | In this project, BIM tools include the following:
(i) Autodesk Revit architecture, structure, MEP, and Navisworks.
(ii) GrandSoft for cost. | 3.2 | 3.6 | 3.8 | 3.6 | 3.4 | 3.52 |
| Hardware | All participants have computers and laptops that are up-to-date enough to use BIM tools. | 2.8 | 3.2 | 3.4 | 3.2 | 3.4 | 3.2 |
| Network | Participants have a variety of connection styles for access to the Internet, such as FDDI, WiFi, but the network conditions at the construction site are not good, and the net speed is slow. | 2.8 | 3.2 | 3.0 | 3.0 | 2.8 | 2.96 |
| Laws and codes | Nowadays, in the Chinese construction industry, there are few laws and codes about BIM application. Therefore, if disputes related to BIM use occur, no laws apply. | 2.0 | 2.8 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 2.4 | 2.24 |
| Standards | Because the main BIM tools come from the Autodesk toolkit, problems of interoperation exist between Revit and other types of software. | 2.4 | 2.0 | 2.6 | 2.4 | 2.6 | 2.4 |
| Policy | Although Chinese officials realize the importance of BIM, until now there has not been a positive policy to encourage the usage of BIM. | 1.4 | 1.4 | 1.6 | 1.2 | 2.0 | 1.52 |
| Person with ability | Other than designers, no persons have used BIM in practical projects before. | 2.2 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 1.8 | 2.0 | 2 |
| Project Manager’s experience | Project managers have no experience of BIM application. | 1.2 | 1.4 | 1.2 | 1.2 | 1.0 | 1.2 |
| Owner’s requirement and investments | Owner agrees to apply BIM only in the design stage and has not invested enough money. | 1.4 | 1.8 | 2.0 | 1.2 | 1.4 | 1.56 |
| Project delivery method | This project adopted the DB delivery method, which is not very suitable for BIM. | 1.2 | 1.4 | 1.2 | 1.6 | 1.0 | 1.28 |
