Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has emerged as a key enabler of digital transformation in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO) industry. However, the transition toward higher levels of BIM maturity, particularly Level 3, remains a significant challenge due to the complexity of integrating technological, organizational, and regulatory dimensions. The study proposes an integrated framework for evaluating BIM Level 3 implementation based on three core dimensions—technology, process, and policy—and examines its impact on key stakeholders from a Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) perspective. The research adopts a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative analysis and quantitative evaluation through structured questionnaires. A case study was conducted within the Tehran Construction Engineering Organization to validate the proposed framework. The results indicate that while technological readiness is relatively advanced, significant gaps persist in process integration and policy support. Furthermore, the findings highlight the critical role of stakeholder coordination and information flow in achieving effective BIM implementation. The proposed framework provides a practical decision-support tool for project managers and policymakers, enabling a more holistic understanding of BIM maturity and its implications.
