Bibliometry is responsible for applying mathematical and statistical methods to scientific research; this discipline is responsible for measuring scientific studies by applying quantitative variables to articles or texts produced by a scientific nature. A bibliometric analysis was carried out where the term "BIM" was consulted, which is the acronym for Building Information Modeling. The search was carried out in the scientific research portal Web of Science, obtaining 684 journal articles related to civil engineering and construction technology. Additionally, the bibliometric analysis software (Bibliometrix) was implemented with which analysis of co-occurrence, cocitation, and co-authorship was carried out, which allowed the study carried out to be better visualized in graphic form. The results of the research show growth in Building Information Modeling research in recent years, noting that the countries with the highest contributions are China, the United States, and the United...

This paper examines the implementation of building information modeling (BIM) in construction industry. Various initiatives and approaches are used in different countries to promote the BIM implementation in their construction industries. The real implementation and use of BIM remains a major concern of the construction industry. This study investigates the implantation of BIM globally, in developed countries and the percentage of implementation of BIM in constriction industry of Sindh, Pakistan. This research demonstrates 131 responses from BIM users regarding BIM implementation whose collaboration aspects produce the highest positive impact. The adopted methodology is an online questionnaire survey and literature review which was conducted to find out the implementation of BIM in construction industries of developed countries. This research reveals that BIM implementation is increasing continuously over the past few years. A Number of developed countries are emerging successful BIM implementation strategies, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France are generally leading the way. However, according to our study findings, only 11% of industries have implemented BIM in Sindh, Pakistan.
