“…The second area where BIM offers added value is related to the assessment and evaluation. This refers to various types of evaluation and assessment methods for determining the performance of a building; these analyses include internal processes such as structural and HVAC systems optimisation and contextual analyses, such as in site orientation, building massing and daylighting (Alwan;Nguyen & Sharmak, 2021). The fragmented information exchange practices, as in traditional delivery approaches, cause the discontinuity of these analysis systems (Pavón et al, 2021).…”

PurposePrevious studies have established to a great extent that regulatory frameworks and, in particular, procurement approaches – that are common in a particular context – have a major impact on the success of building information modelling (BIM) implementation in construction projects. Despite the close links between these two concepts, research on the effect of procurement approaches on BIM implementation is scarce. To address this gap, this paper aims to investigate the barriers that affect BIM implementation through the lens of procurement approaches.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-method approach was adopted using a questionnaire survey (n = 116) and interviews with key stakeholders (n = 12) in Jordan. The outcomes of the quantitative parts were augmented with findings from interviews.FindingsIt was revealed that the deployment of unfavourable construction procurement approaches represents a major hurdle towards BIM implementation. Though essential for enhancing BIM implementation, it is revealed that a fundamental change from the common design-bid-build (DBB) to more collaborative procurement approaches remains infeasible in view of the realities that govern the construction industry.Research limitations/implicationsIt was revealed the deployment of unfavourable construction procurement approaches represents a major hurdle towards BIM implementation. Though essential for enhancing BIM implementation, it is revealed that a fundamental change from the common DBB to more collaborative procurement approaches remains infeasible given the realities that govern the construction industry.Originality/valueAs the first of its kind, a set of recommendations for establishing supportive, workable procurement that does not deviate significantly from common procedures and practices is presented. Rather than advocating a shift to procurement approaches that are aligned with BIM, the findings offer novel insight into the necessity of developing a framework within the boundaries of the current and widely adopted procurement approaches to address the identified construction procurement issues and facilitate BIM implementation.

“…Además, el BIM permite a los profesionales realizar análisis avanzados y simulaciones para evaluar el rendimiento energético, la eficiencia estructural y otros aspectos clave del proyecto antes de que se inicie la construcción, lo que puede ayudar a optimizar el diseño y mejorar la sostenibilidad del proyecto. La capacidad de compartir y acceder a información actualizada y precisa en tiempo real a lo largo del ciclo de vida del proyecto también mejora la toma de decisiones y la eficiencia operativa, lo que puede resultar en proyectos más rentables y exitosos (Nguyen & Sharmak, 2021). Otra ventaja importante del BIM es su capacidad para mejorar la coordinación y la colaboración entre todos los participantes del proyecto, desde el diseño inicial hasta la construcción y la operación.…”

“…Desde su introducción, ha sido utilizado en el diseño arquitectónico, la ingeniería estructural, la gestión de la construcción, la planificación urbana, la gestión de instalaciones y muchos otros campos relacionados con el entorno construido. En el ámbito académico, los investigadores han explorado diversas facetas del BIM, desde su impacto en la eficiencia y calidad del diseño hasta su influencia en la colaboración interdisciplinaria y la toma de decisiones en el ciclo de vida del proyecto (Nguyen & Sharmak, 2021;Pan et al, 2023;Patel & Ruparathna, 2023). Una aplicación clave del BIM en el ámbito académico es su uso como herramienta de enseñanza y aprendizaje en programas de arquitectura, ingeniería y construcción.…”

“…En el ámbito tecnológico, el BIM ha impulsado el desarrollo de software especializado, herramientas de visualización avanzada, plataformas de colaboración en la nube y soluciones de análisis de datos para mejorar la eficiencia y la productividad en la industria de la construcción. La investigación tecnológica se ha centrado en mejorar la interoperabilidad entre diferentes plataformas de software BIM, así como en desarrollar algoritmos y técnicas para la automatización de tareas y la optimización del diseño y la construcción (Nguyen & Sharmak, 2021).…”

Objective. This study examines bibliographic production that addresses the intersection between building information modeling (BIM) and sustainability, considering business, academic, and scientific perspectives. The main objective is to analyze the relationship between BIM and sustainability to contextualize their development in these fields. Design/Methodology/Approach. A search was conducted in the Scopus database using the keywords "building information modeling" and "sustainability". The VOSviewer bibliometric tool was selected for thematic analysis, combining co-word analysis and the h-index. This methodology enabled the effective visualization of diagrams and thematic areas in all available publications. Results/Discussion. Four thematic groups were identified: new technologies and their applications, sustainable construction, sustainability and energy efficiency, and life cycle and environment management. A trend towards greater integration and synergy between BIM and sustainability was evident. The five main research lines around these topics were presented and discussed, which were: development of sustainability assessment methodologies based on BIM, optimization of the life cycle of buildings through BIM, innovation in sustainable materials and technologies, modeling of the resilience and adaptability of buildings, and standards and regulations for sustainability in BIM. Conclusions. The future is oriented towards BIM and sustainability due to their capacity to optimize construction efficiency, reduce waste, and promote sustainable practices.
