Abstract
The adoption of building information modeling (BIM) among construction firms,

can contribute to resolving many of the issues inherent in today's construction

industry. However, despite a proliferation in BIM adoption across the Norwegian

construction industry, these issues remain. We suggest that this can partly be

explained by the delivery models that govern construction projects. This master

thesis builds on transaction cost economics, and aims to extend previous literature

on how contractual models can act as boundary conditions for effective use of BIM.

Seven propositions were developed on the basis of case study evidence from eight

construction projects in Norway. Findings suggest a relationship between different

contractual models and effective use of BIM. The strength of this relationship was

also found to depend on a set of conditional factors. Novel contributions are: first,

to identify characteristics of BIM exchange; second, to offer some insights on the

contextual appropriateness of different delivery models in governing BIM

exchange; and third, to explain how different contractual models can play a

complementary role in governing the exchange of information in BIM. The study

offers practical implications for project owners seeking effective use of BIM. Most

notably, project owners should be aware of the opportunities and challenges of the

different contractual models with regards to BIM. They should also pay attention

to the contextual factors that may influence the relative effectiveness of the different

contractual models.
