An Integrated BIM, IPD and Lean Capability Maturity Model for Construction: Conceptualization, Measurement and Empirical Validation

Abstract

This study proposes an integrated BIM–IPD–Lean maturity construct that conceptualizes digital information management, contractual governance, and production system discipline as interdependent socio-technical capabilities and develops a validated measurement architecture to relate this higher order construct to project performance. A mixed methods strategy is described that uses qualitative interviews and expert panels to generate items and maturity level descriptions, followed by pilot testing and rigorous psychometric evaluation (EFA, AVE, Composite Reliability, CFA/PLS-SEM) to establish convergent and discriminant validity for BIM, IPD, and Lean subscales. Hypotheses anticipate a positive association between integrated maturity and quality, time, cost, safety, productivity, sustainability, and stakeholder satisfaction, with data-driven improvement capability mediating this linkage and process efficiency orientation moderating it. Operational outcome definitions are harmonized across time bases and units to avoid metric fragmentation, with core indicators including defect density, rework frequency and cost, construction unit cost, schedule growth, leading safety measures, and productivity proxies; reported case evidence indicates combined Lean–digital pipelines can yield improvements such as a 12% labor productivity gain and an 18% reduction in idle time. The design emphasizes expert weighting (Delphi) for contextual calibration, controls for common method bias, and transparency about cross sectional limits on causal claims while recommending longitudinal follow up. Practical outputs include maturity dashboards, prioritized improvement roadmaps, and guidance on aligning measurement, contracts, and learning routines so that digital platforms, collaborative delivery, and Lean routines function coherently.
