1. Introduction
The competitive global business environment calls for
thedeployment of various levels of strategies and technologies
onenterprise and their projects. The successful delivery
oflarge-scale construction projects require significant
planning,design, construction and project management efforts.
BuildingInformation Modeling (BIM) is an enabling technology and
theprocesses which can significantly transform the project
deliveryprocess and add value across the whole project
lifecycle.
Nowadays, the technology side of BIM is becoming morepopular and
mature in different sectors of the constructionindustry. However,
the proper understanding of change inbusiness processes and
practices that come with BIM implemen-tation, along with the
project management aspect of BIM, is still ayoung area of academic
inquiry.
Without the proper studies of the associated project manage-ment
processes and managerial side of BIM, the successfuladoption of BIM
on projects, particularly on large-scale andcapital intensive
projects is going to be extremely challenging. Inthis regard, this
special issue focusing on project management oflarge-scale
construction projects in relation to BIM is timely andmentioned
agenda by incorporating BIM in the managementof large-scale
projects. We invite scholars to submit innovative
