| Summary: | This paper investigates the nature of national BIM standards
amoung various countries and examine the presence of standards
that clarify the BIM roles of project stakeholders such as project
management consultant (PMC) at the various stages of the
construction project lifecycle, including inception, design and
construction. A research has been conducted which case BIM studies
from UK, Norway, Finland, US, Canada, Singapore and Australia
were reviewed. The study indicates that current BIM standards have
mainly focused on explaining the model standards and BIM
requirements. There are only a few national standards, such as the
case of Singapore, which highlight the BIM objectives at each stage
of the construction process, the project stakeholders that should be
involved, and the deliverables. The specific roles of the various
project stakeholders for each objective are not adequately clarified
and hence likely to vary from one project and organization to
another.
