Nowadays, construction activities and projects are becoming much more challenging to manage.Being involve with different stakeholders is a difficult task and information and communication technology (ICT) has been addressed as a solution. On the other hand, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has already taken first steps towards this big revolution and gained a place in the sector. By inspiration from modality of BIM, there can be an adoption to other sub-branch of construction industry such as infrastructure domain. Since BIM has proven benefits in buildings, infrastructure projects might gain similar advantages through proper implementation. The authors of this paper are suggesting the use of a new describing for the purpose of BIM adoption for infrastructure projects, namely; Infrastructure Building Information Modeling (I-BIM). The main aim of conducting this research is to identify and prove the lack of using BIM for infrastructure projects.Within this context, questionnaire survey designed and distributed among 187 participants. These respondents were mostly located at United States of America and Turkey. As a finding of this research, authors clarify the preponderance and impediment components in the path of I-BIM utilization and discuss five main categories to clustered selected 26 variables as benefit or barrier of I-BIM.
