Abstract

Research in building information modeling and sustainability studies has been increasing recently. However, few studies have been conducted to examine the integration of building information modeling technologies to strengthen the implementation of sustainability methods in the construction industry. Building information modeling technology is one of these methods because it creates vital databases for the building and its components instead of generating and displaying rich information IDs. As a result, executive management's time and costs are significantly reduced because of the ability to make optimal decisions regarding the implementation of projects at each stage. It has provided the construction. Building information modeling technology as a powerful manager tool improves project success criteria. This study aims to identify the dimensions and components affecting the sustainable development of the construction industry based on building information modeling. The method used in this research is Grounded Theory based on the study's exploratory nature. The primary basis of data collection is in-depth interviews with experts, professors, and construction project specialists of Tehran Municipality, District 3. A total of 15 interviews were conducted. After collecting the information, the codes related to the written interviews were analyzed. After performing three steps of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, the final research model was presented. The codes obtained from the interviews were categorized into 55 concepts and 14 main categories. According to the results of this study, building information modeling and optimal building design are influenced by a range of environmental and causal factors. An integral part of the sustainable development of the construction industry is the integration of contractual models and sustainability development. The use of natural resources, the product, and the training of organizational and macro management and technology are included.
