Yet, its degree of integration with various industry standards in the architecture, engineering and construction sector varies extensively. An exploratory research approach explores the interoperability between the construction design and management (CDM) regulations and BIM. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach The research design comprised: a methodical “state-of-the-art” review of extant literature – exploring some 19 variables emerging from the literature review; detailed content analyses of the current CDM regime (CDM 2015); and conducting a “test” to map and determine the degree of interoperability between BIM and CDM. The study develops several meta-matrices and a framework for BIM and CDM interoperability. Findings New insight reveals that BIM provides a systematic approach for the discharge of CDM o...

stipulating health and safety requirements before and during the construction phase regulation 23(1)(a). In order to successfully deliver the construction phase plan, critical to this process yet underestimated are key procedures such as appointment criteria, performance measurement and liability for instance which are hardly mentioned in the CDM 2007 or the practice guidance notes. Clearly, contractors are bound to coordinate numerous activities on construction sites let alone managing health, safety and welfare of employees in accordance with section two (2) of the Health and Safety at Work Act (HASAWA)1974 and part 4 of the CDM 2007 duties relating to health and safety on construction sites. Providing explicit terms of engagement and carefully executed procedures such as appointments can enhance overall health and safety management through construction phase plans. The
conclusions of the study therefore suggest further areas of research alluded to above consistent with the literature review and regulation 4(1)(b), 5(1)(2), 6 and 22 - 24.
Key words: CDM regulations, construction phase plan, health and safety management, principal contractor.
