Information technologies are increasingly adopted across the world to promote the efficiency of construction and demolition waste (CDW) management and alleviate the environmental and social effects of waste disposal. Therefore, many studies on efficient CDW minimization and management have been conducted. However, a systematic summary on the research development in BIM tools used in CDW management field is lacking. This study performed a bibliometric review on the latest research situation in this area by analysing published CDW management research in peer-reviewing journals in the period of 2010 to 2020, as well as follow-up qualitative discussion in application of BIM tools in CDW management. The bibliometric analysis initially identified 35 relevant studies that were analysed due a data analysis mapping with the assist of the Bibliometrix text mining tool. Finally, 14 articles were selected by filtering, that were classified according to the approaches found in data mapping, namely, information management, project management, interoperability, modular coordination, parametric design, big data, life cycle, demolition and deconstruction (end of life), circular economy and recovery and recycling. The determined categories were associated, and the research status quo is identified and addressed. Overall, this study contributes to existing research by identifying the current situation of the application of BIM technology in CDW management.
