Abstract

The construction sector is a cornerstone of economic growth, encompassing building, repairing, renovating, and maintaining structures. To enhance efficiency and precision across various parameters such as time, cost, and quality, the industry has embraced innovative methodologies. Among these, Building Information Modeling (BIM) stands out, revolutionizing architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) practices. BIM entails the continuous utilization of digital models throughout the building lifecycle, facilitating seamless collaboration and decision-making. This paper serves to offer a comprehensive understanding of BIM, drawing from extensive bibliographic studies on BIM literature. It elucidates BIM's role as the genesis of Lean Construction (LC), viewed through a technical lens. Moreover, it meticulously examines the background, evolution, standardization, and adoption process of BIM. It delves into various dimensions of BIM, including levels, languages, types, and the diverse roles and professions involved in its implementation. The paper also elucidates the myriad benefits and challenges associated with integrating BIM into construction projects. Furthermore, it explores the intricate relationship between BIM and lean construction methodologies, shedding light on the synergies and potential hurdles in their convergence. By identifying key factors and barriers, the paper seeks to provide actionable insights into effectively integrating Lean Construction and BIM practices. This holistic approach aims to pave the way for enhanced project outcomes, fostering innovation and efficiency in the construction industry.
