Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the key enablers and obstacles to the effective adoption and use of nD modelling technology.Design/methodology/approachThis paper explores the feasibility of industry absorbing and diffusing nD modelling technology by considering key technology transfer issues; namely, organisational direction, inter‐organisational networks and the knowledge characteristics of technology. Findings from semi‐structured interviews around a diagnostic technology transfer framework are used to offer implications for theory and practice.FindingsThe results from 15 survey interviews indicate that construction professionals appreciate the potential significant benefits of nD modelling technology, but at present, nD modelling technology is seen as too embryonic; too far removed from construction firms' “comfort zones”; requiring too much investment; and, containing too many risks.Originality/valueThe paper stresses that the challenge for nD modelling technology, along with any new technology, is to shift from its “technology push” emphasis, to a more balanced “market orientated” stance, which allows the technology to be shaped by both strategic design concerns, and day‐to‐day operational needs. If this trajectory is pursued, nD modelling technology could have a positive future.
