Abstract An organization must evaluate its internal
ability to optimize the benefits of BIM. Hence, it is
important to provide a set of numerical weights for each
performance metric before starting the evaluation. Hence,
this study applies the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)
technique to assign weights for the organizational BIM
performance evaluation. The AHP survey was collected
using self-completion method and received feedback from
twenty (20) respondents. Findings from AHP Survey were
analyzed using AHP Excel Template. This analysis has set
a weighting value for each metric. As a result of using the
AHP technique, the consistency value (CR) of all metrics
determined was less than 0.1, which indicates that the
experts' decisions were consistent. In addition, the value of
consensus also exceeds 50 %, which confirms that the
agreement on the value of metric weights among the
experts is acceptable. Subsequently, the AHP had
successfully assigned the weightage to all BIM
performance metrics, with five (5) Main Metrics as the
most critical metrics; Policy (37%), Process (17%),
Technology (16%), People (15%), and Organization
(15%).

1. Introduction
The failure to understand the BIM performance
evaluation areas causes the organization to maximize the
benefits of BIM. The evaluation areas are the basis for the
organization to improve its BIM processes and deliverables.
Apart from that, the lack of a way to systematically scale
evaluation to assess the BIM application in an organization
will make tracking their weakness and possible risks
challenging. They will fail to identify gaps in the BIM
application, including the organization's resources and how
these gaps can be addressed. If these matters happen, the
organization is unable to improve and miss growth
opportunities.
Consequently, it is necessary to develop consistent BIM
performance evaluation to guide the organization to
understand the performance and level of performance that
suits their organizational needs; therefore enabling to
utilize and build BIM capabilities. Various BIM
performance models are being developed to assist
businesses in achieving various BIM evaluation goals in
the construction sector. They differ in terms of
applicability and evaluation intent (Wu et al., 2017). Some
demand a third-party assessor (with fee), some lack
guidelines on using them, while others need a couple of
hours to complete. Therefore, an expanded BIM
performance model for the evaluation is preferred.
