Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry experiences Building Information Modeling (BIM) transition process in all over the world. As the firms have advanced on BIM implementation, a necessity to benchmark the BIM performance has emerged. A couple of assessment tools were released for the sector to be used by organizations, individuals and governments to benchmark the BIM implementation maturity. The architecture and engineering firms in Turkey are also in the midst of BIM transition. However, there is little attention given to studies related with BIM maturity assessment in Turkish AEC organizations. For that reason, a BIM maturity assessment study was conducted in Turkey with seven architecture and engineering firms. The findings of the assessment study stated that the sector suffers from a lack of available official guidance and documentation on BIM implementation. In order to understand the practical handicap of the issue, the best practice guides of United States and United Kingdom were compared with Turkish practices. Based on the derived information from this comparison study, an evaluation and discussion session followed the process. At the end of the research, the findings were not only validated by comparing the results with the statements of vi the firms that participated in BIM maturity assessment but also has been echoed with the statements in the sector report in the 10th Development Plan of Turkey released in 2013 by the Ministry of Development.

BIM-CAREM: a reference model for building information modelling capability assessment
Yılmaz, Gökçen; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Department of Information Systems (2017)
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been implemented by various Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management (AEC/FM) firms in various countries due to inefficiencies in traditional construction project management practices. AEC/FM organization require to gauge the effectiveness of their BIM implementations for measuring their performance and enabling continuous improvement in BIM usage. Therefore, various BIM capability and maturity models are developed to help organizations achie...
An investigation of legal aspects of BIM in construction contracts
Kaya, Fatih; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2019-04-17)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been adopted worldwide in recent years as a novel way of working that enables efficiency in the construction industry. Lately, numerous countries made it compulsory to utilize BIM in public construction projects. Similarly, BIM became a contractual requirement in some public infrastructure and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects in Turkey. However, in order to benefit from the advantages of BIM, some legal concerns such as intellectual property, liability, legal val...
Modeling highway projects: The need for Highway Information Modeling (HIM) guideline and information exchange
Ertaymaz, Uğurcan; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide (2019-06-01)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is one of the latest trends in the construction sector and utilized for modeling, reviewing and analyzing building projects for the last two decades with benefits including visualization, planning, and estimation. BIM provides a well-organized and streamlined approach for building projects; however, its application for highway projects has been scarce. Progressing requirements, increasing number of stakeholders, integrated design solutions, expanding model uses and rapid ...
A statistical approach to lean construction implementations of construction companies in Turkey
Tezel, Bülent Algan; Nielsen, Yasemin; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
One of the major change efforts for the construction industry is lean construction. This thesis analyzes the practices of the construction companies in Turkey from the lean construction perspective. Prior to the analysis in question, requisite information about change in the construction industry, lean thinking and lean construction will be presented. A questionnaire, based on a lean construction model, is used to survey the practices and gather the data for the analysis. Various statistical analysis method...
Analysis of modeling effort and impact of different levels of detail in building information models
Leite, Fernanda; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Akinci, Burcu; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Kiziltas, Semiha (2011-08-01)
The main objectives of this paper are to evaluate the modeling effort associated with generating building information modeling (BIM) at different levels of detail (LoD) and the impact of LoD in a project in supporting mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) design coordination. Results show an increase in total modeling time ranging from doubling the modeling effort to eleven folding it, when going from one LoD to another. When comparing modeling time per object, rates ranged from 0.2 (decreased modeling ...
