BIM has been accepted as a potential solution for management of risks in tall buildings; however, its adaptation has been slow due to several obstacles. The purpose of this study is to identify and validate the impediments to the adaptation of BIM for management of risks. The study adopted a two-step methodology, consisting of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). The data were collected through an online survey of professionals involved in design, construction, and management. Results of the study reveal six significant impediments: technical, integration, operational, creativity, privacy, and standardization. The findings provide theoretical contributions to the literature by identifying and validating the impediments to adaptation of BIM for risks in tall buildings. Practical implications suggest that organizations involved in design, construction, and management of tall buildings need to address the identified impediments to ensure successful adaptation of BIM for management of risks. This study contributes to the understanding of the obstacles to the adaptation of BIM for management of risks in tall buildings and provides insights for organizations to overcome these impediments. © 2023 The Authors date: 2023 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85170266446&doi=10.1016%2fj.rineng.2023.101401&partnerID=40&md5=eaa0cd52fa9fead4a156f527ce5a9e5a id_number: 10.1016/j.rineng.2023.101401 full_text_status: none publication: Results in Engineering volume: 20 refereed: TRUE citation: Waqar, A. and Othman, I. and Shafiq, N. and Deifalla, A. and Ragab, A.E. and Khan, M.
