Abstract
Purpose Numerous studies have examined building information modeling (BIM) adoption in the built asset industry to understand its components, requirements and dynamics of this process. Further research is needed to follow this process, particularly considering emerging practices and technologies. This paper aims to characterize and evaluate the competency profiles underlying the BIM adoption and implementation process across distinct fields within the built asset industry, namely, owners, architecture, engineering, manufacturing, general and specialty contractors. Design/methodology/approach Using a quantitative approach, six fields of activity and 136 competencies were related based on data from 368 organizations. This approach, which includes univariate and bivariate methods (profiles and Chi2-test), enables the delineation and comparison of competency profiles underlying BIM adoption across fields of activity. Findings In all fields of activity, notable progress is observed in management and operational competencies, while administration, research and development (R&D) and implementation are progressing slowly. Sixty-two competencies are correlated significantly with fields of activity. Of note is the expertise of certain competencies in fields of activity (architecture excels in managerial, functional, technological, implementation and R&D competencies; engineering in administrative and normative competencies). Conversely, some fields of activity notably fall behind in most competencies, such as general and specialty contractors. Originality/value By examining the competencies development, this research identifies the key areas in which organizations in various fields of activity should invest to improve their BIM adoption. These findings can guide competency enhancement efforts in the built asset industry.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
