Abstract
The Building Information Modelling (BIM) concept was invented in the last ten years to bridge the technological gap between the construction sector and other sectors and contribute to the sustainability targets of the built environment. However, it seems that there is a significant difference in the application and adaptation of the BIM technology between organizations and countries as well. This paper addresses these key BIM challenges and identifies technological and cultural requirements for developing a Unified BIM Language & Culture (UBIML-C) that can enhance the implementation and adaptation process of BIM technology. Furthermore, it indicates the integration and alignment of UBIML-C with the UN SDGs and the ESG index to highlight the direct return on the effort and investment placed to implement UBIML-C. The paper introduces a preliminary process framework for the adaptation and operations of UBIML-C in terms of knowledge elicitation, technology and process execution, performance metrics, and its alignment with the UN SDGs and the ESG Index.
