Abstract

The emergence of new technologies creates roles and responsibilities. On the other hand, there was a crisis of specialized human resources in this field, which required a framework of roles and responsibilities to deal with BIM. In addition, one of the main challenges is to pay attention to the suitability of BIM tools, which requires a model to measure BIM competence. First, in research, with the help of qualitative content analysis method and data collection through semi-interviews Structured with 13 experts to describe the roles and responsibilities of human resources and develop the BIM competency model. The following analysis with a homogeneous sampling of experts to a framework of BIM roles and responsibilities which consist of 3 roles and 10 distinct responsibilities achieved. Also, in the second part of the research, a framework of the competence of roles which includes 20 BIM topics Competence is analyzed in 8 sets and 3 components of competence. Finally, the results in two The main part have 2 distinct responsibilities of "Planning" and "Individual development" from the set of roles, also BIM 4 unique competencies: "Evaluation and Continuous improvement" "Willingness to learn", "Certificate" and "Honesty and Mutual respect" achieved.
