SOCIAL MEDIA APPROACHES ON BIM COLLABORATION
1.1
Research Context In 21st century, few areas of society have remained untouched by the advent of digital technologies. The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry has been one of the last industries, which has experienced the Digital Revolution, or Industry 4.0, in today's technological parlance (Agarwal and Sridhar, 2016). Applications which are part of our everyday lives have also become part Durmus, D. 2022. Social Media Approaches on BIM Collaboration. 2 Master Thesis. Ljubljana, UL FGG, Second Cycle Master Study Programme Building Information Modelling, BIM A+. of our everyday business. At the same time, there are also applications, which have been developed specifically for the purposes of certain industries. In the AEC industry one of the most transforming digital technologies is Building Information Modelling (BIM) (Azhar, 2011). It is a combination of technologies and processes to deliver design and support construction, operation, and maintenance of the building in a collaborative way. To address numerous economic, environmental, and sociological concerns, the rising complexity of buildings is paralleled by the introduction of new procurement methods and procedures, construction technologies, materials, and construction processes. The use of BIM requires sound understanding of the processes, but also necessary skills in the related technology use (Turk and Klinc, 2020). Because of the construction industry's unique project-based character, various participants with different skills and knowledge are required to jointly achieve project goals. However, the project teams face the difficulty of inefficient communication due to the diversity of team members and increasing complexity of the drawings (Turk and Klinc, 2020). In the temporary teams with strong time limitations, team members frequently lack face-to-face communication. In light of this, the project managers are beginning to utilize mobile information and communication technologies (ICTs) within the project activities and tasks (Hasan et al., 2019). Social media, in particular, has penetrated people's everyday lives as well as workplaces as a representation of mobile ICT (Song et al., 2019). Scholarly attention has been paid to profound changes in companies as a result of social media use in several sectors, such as knowledge management (Jia et al., 2020), communication (Leonardi, 2014), and virtual collaboration (Zhang et al., 2018). Construction firms have started to see the benefits of social media applications in different areas of project management, including improved project communication, information integration and digital business (Azhar and Abeln, 2014). However, the social media usage in the construction teams, particularly the preadoption variables and postadoption consequences remains underexplored. It is resulting in unwillingness to implement social media in construction organizations. This situation is leaving a communication and information gap. From a technology point of view, there is a large amount of existing research on social media adoption at the individual level. Although a few studies have focused on organizational social media adoption, little is known about the factors that influence social media adoption in construction projects from a contextual perspective (Hasan et al., 2019). Even though the effects of social media on organizational or team performance have been studied previously (Ma et al., 2021), it is more essential to investigate changes in the project teams’ communication effectiveness because ineffective communication among project team members has become a critical threat to project success. 3 Durmus, D. 2022.
