Abstract

Building information modelling (BIM) and supply chain management (SCM) both aim to integrate data to enhance construction efficiency. While BIM holds transformative potential, current research mainly focuses on individual supply chain actors. This study aims to evaluate BIM/SCM literature, categorise research methods and theoretical lenses, identify insights for diverse supply chain actors, and propose future research directions. Through a systematic literature review (SLR), 56 relevant published studies were identified and analysed. Findings reveal that 17 studies explicitly used theoretical lenses. Most studies employed case studies and mixed methods, with a focus on individual actors. This suggests that BIM-supply chain research is still evolving, emphasising the need for further research to understand BIM adoption across the whole supply chain as one system. The study's originality lies in systematically analysing BIM-supply chain interfaces, providing a unique perspective on research methods, theoretical frameworks, and supply chain actors, which can guide future research.
