Integrating BIM for Enhanced Sustainability in Construction Projects

Abstract

This study examines BIM’s impact on resource efficiency by highlighting obstacles and developing deployment guidelines supported by practical project applications. Development countries such as Pakistan confront environmental problems in their construction sectors. BIM helps to enhance sustainability although challenging project costs and requiring skilled practitioners alongside appropriate policy frameworks. For BIM adoption to succeed policy backing from governments and industry backing combined with educational training programs are necessary. This research combines both surveys and expert interviews under positivist methodology. The BIM adoption process in Pakistan's construction field benefits from SPSS and NVivo for reliability purposes and confidentiality and consent procedures. The implementation of BIM for sustainability projects in Pakistan faces difficulties because of high prices and skill deficits alongside resistance to change.
