2. Outline of the Presentation. 01. Introduction.

3. 1.1 Introduction and Background. Construction success hinges on cross-organizational collaboration, emphasizing seamless communication for reduced lead time and uncertainty. Digital tools like BIM hold promise, yet face adoption challenges impacting.

4. 1.2 Research Problem. General contractors typically manage BIM coordination, but the absence of clear rules hinders collaboration. BIM models evolve with meeting outcomes, RFIs, and input from diverse disciplines, making coordination complex. Realizing BIM's potential requires a comprehensive framework to manage project complexities..

5. 1.3 Research Gap. Recent studies lack insights into construction dispute resolution during BIM implementation. No prior surveys have focused on conflict management in Australia's residential construction industry using BIM. An efficient framework is needed to address technological, organizational, and environmental disputes, fostering BIM adoption..

6. 1.4 Research Objectives. The specific objectives are: Objective 1: Investigate conflict management models used in residential projects with BIM implementation. Objective 2: Analyze conflicts among various parties in Australian residential projects, both with and without BIM. Objective 3: Develop a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) utilizing BIM to prevent conflicts in future projects..

7. 2.1 Methodology: Objective 1. Literature review Search strategy development Conducting the search Identification of key databases.

8. 2.2 Methodology: Objective 2. Survey Questionnaire write up Dissemination of survey Recruitment platform determination.

9. 2.3 Methodology. Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) development BIM Implementation framework for each phase of construction.

Different Views on BIM: Different professionals in Australia have different ideas about BIM, which shows that they are not all ready for it or fully understand it. Problems we all face: When the industry tries to use BIM, it runs into problems like not being able to agree on standards, not having enough training, and tech problems. The conflict is real: Conflict is a real problem that makes it hard to use BIM because experts in the same field have different ideas, standards, and resistance to change. Why proactive management is important: To deal with problems that come up during BIM adoption, you need to be proactive about managing conflicts. This means using clear communication and standard procedures. Needs Continuous Improvement: Because BIM technology is always changing, there are always problems that need to be solved. In the future, researchers should keep an eye on changes and produce new ways to keep and improve Australia's BIM adoption..
