Abstract: Interorganizational collaboration and systemic change are necessary for best realization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) benefits but can be difficult where a clear consensus on the critical influential factors is lacking. This study identified those distinct factors that are critical to the interorganizational BIM adoption. Measures interrelated beyond organizational boundaries were previously identified, through a meta-analysis of factors and sub-factors, and termed collaborative. The identified measures, however, were numerous and varied between studies. An online survey of 165 US contractors was conducted on the measures, which yielded six critical factors that established a clear consensus on measures spanning 13 interorganizational BIM literatures. The identified critical factors (organizational variety, team BIM capability, duty of care, risk and liabilities, scope of work, and data preservation), formed the final scale that provided an instrument for evaluating collaboration and systemic change necessary to adopt BIM.
