Abstract

Design management plays a critical role in overseeing the design process and fostering effective collaboration within organizations, yet its conceptual understanding remains fragmented due to limited cohesive research literature. To address this gap, this study conducts a bibliometric analysis of the determinants of building design management practices, aiming to provide insights that enhance design management in building projects. Utilizing web-based data collection, scientific articles from specialized construction industry journals were analyzed through performance analysis and scientific mapping, with data clustering and visualization conducted using Visualization of Similarities Viewer (VOSviewer version 1.6.18). The findings identify key determinants such as building energy management, building type and users, building information modeling, design management services, project management, and sustainable design and value engineering, alongside challenges including integration and collaboration issues, operational and maintenance difficulties, information and communication gaps, design quality concerns, reduced trust levels, and ambiguities in roles and responsibilities. This study underscores the evolving nature of building design management, emphasizes the need to improve design quality, and offers recommendations for regulatory bodies, project managers, and design managers, while suggesting future research directions.
