Documentary comparison of the UK, Singapore, EU and Italy through systems and policy-cycle lenses proposes legal mandates, a common data environment, standards and capacity building for Thailand.
Key findings
- Three dimensions emerged: efficiency, sustainability and regulatory governance. Enablers were legal mandates, data standards, digital infrastructure and capacity; fragmented voluntary use constrained benefits.
Why this matters globally
The work connects BIM to digital government and lifecycle governance, treating building data as public infrastructure.
Thai researcher contribution
A Kasem Bundit University researcher adapted international lessons into a systems proposal for Thai public construction.
Limitations to consider
No systematic search or quality appraisal, stakeholder interviews, feasibility, cost-benefit or Thai-agency pilot is reported. Foreign success is context-dependent.
