Two polarised views of BIM are shown from the literature based on technology-centred or human-centred perspectives each of which acknowledges the other but subsumes this into their view. Indeed it is the way that each adopts the other that is problematic. This paper demonstrates that acknowledging these differences and working with them better addresses the management of the implementation of BIM. Empirical findings, from in-depth interviews in a multi-disciplinary engineering company, show that individuals use BIM but are confused by its role depending on their job and perspective. Given this, collaboration and development are held back by the un-expressed differences. It is argued that recognising these differences and using them in a balanced way is essential for the successful adoption of BIM. date: 2013 date_type: published publisher: Association of Researchers in Construction Management (ARCOM) official_url: http://www.arcom.ac.uk/-docs/proceedings/ar2013-0703-0713_Cidik_Boyd_Thurairajah.pdf oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1686588 isbn_13: 9780955239076 lyricists_name: Cidik, Mustafa lyricists_id: MSCID92 actors_name: Cidik, Mustafa actors_id: MSCID92 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Proceedings 29th Annual Association of Researchers in Construction Management Conference, ARCOM 2013 place_of_pub: Reading, UK pagerange: 703-713 event_title: 29th Annual ARCOM Conference book_title: Proceedings 29th Annual ARCOM Conference, 2-4 September 2013 citation: Cidik, MS; Boyd, D; Thurairajah, N; (2013) Understanding the polarized perspectives in BIM enabled projects.
