Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an emerging approach to construction that combines the use of virtual models and the principles of mutual information sharing to establish a collaborative environment in built environment projects. It is currently the subject of much discussion, among which is how it might affect the interaction between traditional construction project roles. This study focused on viewing the demand for positions that operated in a BIM setting to evaluate a set of roles that will be found in teams in the future. By analysing over 300 job adverts and comparing the findings with observational and conceptual literature, the research determined a set of management, coordinating and technical role types that interacted with BIM either directly or by proxy. The summary of this set should provide an increased understanding of the changing shape of built environment project teams.
