Abstract
The goal of this thesis is to utilize previous research done on virtual meetings and build upon it by conducting new research on the successes and failures of current virtual BIM meetings. This paper starts with a literature review looking into Building Information Modeling (BIM) Coordination and the effects the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the BIM meetings. BIM meetings started to shift virtual due to the nature of the pandemic and this has had effects on the performance and structure of the coordination. This knowledge was then expanded on by looking at virtual BIM meeting case studies. Interviews were conducted with current participants in BIM projects to further the understanding of how virtual BIM meetings are affecting the whole coordination process. Based on the interviews, it can be inferred that the vast majority of BIM workers believe that switching to virtual meetings has greatly improved the coordination process and meetings especially with respect to timeliness, comfortability, and progress.
