- Description: Abstract: The use of technology such as building information modelling (BIM) during the operational and management phase of a building helps to improve facilities and asset performance. However, the slow uptake of building information modelling (BIM) in the facilities and asset management industry diminishes the value derivable from properties and assets in general. The current study examines the motivation to adoption of BIM in the facilities and asset management industry and identifies barriers or challenges to BIM implementation in the sector. A field questionnaire survey was used to collect data among facilities management firms in Johannesburg South Africa. Empirical data from 17 participants were analysed to output frequencies on the challenges of BIM implementation. Findings revealed that competitive advantage, innovativeness, peer-push, as well as organisational image and objectives were motivators for adopting BIM in facilities management. The challenges of BIM implementation were mostly a lack of knowledge (trained personnel) on how to use BIM in facilities management, data management quality, lower data management standards (quality) at the operational stage, inadequate data provision for maintenance and management of facilities. Other issues included limited coordination or cooperation from team members and stakeholders on projects, absence of guidance on best practices to ensure performance optimisation and facilities management support using BIM, and financial commitment and infrastructure involved.

- Description: Abstract: With the ever-increasing urban sprawl in African cities, more attention should be paid to the provision of real estate infrastructure to cater for the population. Ways to harness Africa’s possibilities and leverage the opportunities available in the fourth industrial revolution, to diminish housing infrastructure backlogs, warrant consideration. The current study therefore aims to identify the factors that influence the sustainability of real estate developments in recent times, with attention to the planning considerations. An integrative review was conducted with literature from databases including Scopus, Google, Google Scholar, Publish or Perish, Academic Search Complete and Emerald. Synthesis was undertaken using thematic content analysis to identify themes on the factors influencing real estate developments and its sustainability. The distillation of literature revealed that institutional and economic factors were considered the most important factors, while developer’s attitude and socio-cultural factors were the least occurring among the sampled literature. By establishing these factors, the current study provides important information for housing and construction stakeholders to be informed and guided in the planning and implementation of real estate development policies in order to provide for and sustain the needs of the current population and future generations given the need for smart cities.
