Abstract
This chapter describes the Building Information Modeling (BIM) ecosystem and explains how the products, processes, and people (PPP) in this ecosystem coevolve. First, the significance of coevolution of products, processes, and people is explained. The context of BIM and the AEC industry is described to facilitate its understanding in relation to the industry perception of the three aspects of the BIM ecosystem: products, processes, and people. A discussion on the current research and practices in BIM explains the implications and approaches to managing the complex dependencies between the aspects in BIM-enabled projects. Two approaches are highlighted: supporting technological advances and facilitating cultural changes through the development of BIM “Operational and Support Technical Requirements; and developing BIM adoption and project management guidelines through the “Collaborative BIM Decision Framework.” The chapter concludes by highlighting the implications of future BIM ecosystem for BIM research, practice, and education.
