Although there is limited information on building information modeling (BIM) execution in developing countries, BIM drivers have received significant attention from different researchers, but with a limited investigation into the influence of BIM barriers on such building projects. Our goal with this research is to identify and remove any challenges that may stand in the way of using BIM in developing country construction projects. To this end, a comprehensive literature search uncovered impediments to BIM implementation. To assess the relative importance of the numerous challenges to BIM mentioned in the literature, a survey questionnaire was distributed to a sample of specialists in the construction industry. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to classify these challenges, and partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was created to bring attention to the most pressing ones in the context of BIM adoption. The results of this research will inform policymakers in underdeveloped nations interested in adopting BIM on the pitfalls they should avoid. © 2023 by the authors. date: 2023 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85151494954&doi=10.3390%2fapp13063426&partnerID=40&md5=e32a99488384888fd394967d7eeca78a id_number: 10.3390/app13063426 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Sciences (Switzerland) volume: 13 number: 6 refereed: TRUE citation: Kineber, A.F. and Othman, I. and Famakin, I.O. and Oke, A.E. and Hamed, M.M. and Olayemi, T.M.
