International Journal of BIM and Engineering Science IJBES 2571-1075 10.54216/IJBES https://www.americaspg.com/journals/show/4254 2021 2021 School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment, University of Greater Manchester, Bolton, UK Ashraf Ashraf School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment, University of Greater Manchester, Bolton, UK Muhaideb AlMuhaideb School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment, University of Greater Manchester, Bolton, UK Abdul Salam Darwish Purpose – The current global transformation in the construction industry, through the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and ISO 19650 information management, is hindered by a missing financial Return on Investment (ROI) on the ISO 19650 information management. This is a hindrance for investment and decision-making. The research seeks to solve the problem through the establishment of a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for the realization of the “ISO 19650 Dividend.” Designmethodologyapproach – A sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach was adopted, integrating a systematic literature review, the analysis of existing data (n = 104), a cross-sectional study involving a primary survey of a targeted cohort in the UK and Saudi Arabia (n = 187), and in-depth expert interviews (n = 15). Quantitative data were analysed using weighted mean, gap, and path analyses, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. Findings – The paper pinpoints the attainment of operational efficiency and cost competitiveness as the key priority level for the value drivers, while pointing out the substantial gap in measuring the intangible value, such as organization capital and sustainability. Commitment to the organization by the leaders stands as the key critical success factor. The key outcome of this paper includes the development of the four-leveled KPI Framework and the conceptual model focusing on the adoption and successful measurement, resulting in the ROIa. Practical implications – The framework offers a structured roadmap or a step-by-step process change that enables organizations to move from basic process compliance measurement metrics to financial metrics measurement in their digital projects. This framework provides professionals in this domain a way in which benefits realized from collaboration are converted into a proxy measures. Originalityvalue – Instead, this research breaks the mold of general sets of BIM benefits in offering the first-ever integrated measurement framework that specifically sets out to quantify the ROI of implementing ISO 19650, by synthesizing performance metrics with qualitative knowledge of leadership and change management in a holistic approach for the realization of digital promise and profit. 2026 2026 21 37 10.54216/IJBES.120102 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/22/show/4254
