This research aims to develop a multifunctional BIM maturity model. A reiterative approach is adopted to identify domains, subdomains, and their rubrics, which are organized in a hierarchical structure to form the BIM maturity model. This research is of particular value. It joins the theoretical debate on the “stool” of BIM maturity including technology, process, and protocol, instead of treating BIM as a technology only.
