Construc3on projects involve complex ac3vi3es and processes during their lifecycle [1], requiring construc3on team members from different backgrounds to collaborate to minimise project complexity, and complete construc3on projects within a set budget and to a 3metable [1]. Collabora3on among teams can play a vital role in the building management overall, facilita3ng the achievement of objec3ves predetermined in collabora3on with a client [2]. However, Building Informa3on Modelling (BIM) has emerged as a new way to manage informa3on flow during the lifecycle of construc3on projects [3]. During a project that is handled in a collabora3ve way by people of mul3ple disciplines and m-ul3ple actors, many issues can arise (e.g. trust, lack of clarity regarding roles and responsibili3es, interoperability, etc.) [4]. These issues can all act to hinder the effec3ve use of BIM in the building sector [5]. Although prac33oners aim to maintain collabora3ve work environments, they nonetheless encounter challenges in many parts of the world, specifically with respect to the development of fully integrated mul3-disciplinary collabora3ve modes of opera3on, which necessitate a specific tool to facilitate the adop3on of BIM [6]. Hence, the ra3onale behind this research is three fold. First, there is a total lack of evidence in terms of studies, surveys, and documenta3on regarding the current situa3on with BIM governance for facilita3ng team collabora3on across a project’s lifecycle. Second, there are no proper BIM governance models offering implementa3on of technical storage solu3ons. Third, enhance the overall context of adop3ng BIM in the current Built Environment via the development of a Cloud-based BIM governance plaCorm, to help it migrate from its current status to become more advanced via the use of Cloud environments to govern BIM processes.
