ABSTRACT

Building information modeling (BIM) plays a key role in improving productivity and construction quality, cutting costs, and reducing project time. Existing research on 5D BIM lacks a systemic compilation and concentrates on a single application. In this study, 104 papers in this field were collected to understand trends through a bibliometric analysis. The top 19 publications with the highest citation rates were examined. The results showed that 5D BIM has limited application breadth and marketing. Future studies will focus on ways of expanding the application of BIM and integrating it with real engineering.
