dc.description.abstractIn the construction industry, building information modelling (BIM) is a promising technology to maintain a contractor’s business competitive advantages. Although some BIM guides for contractors have been released by a set of countries or institutes, the BIM strategies as a part of contractors’ business developmental strategies are rarely discussed. This paper aims to empirically investigate the BIM strategies for contractors from the institutional perspective. A case study of a German contractor is conducted. Data collected through interviews, site visit, and survey/questionnaire are analysed to identify the best practices in a leading contractor company in BIM lifecycle implementation. Suggestions are provided to better implement BIM in contractors’ long-run business developmental strategies.en_US
