Abstract: With increasing sustainability concerns, such as the construction sector being responsible for using 42% of the world’s energy, 30% of its raw materials, and 25% of its fresh water, building projects have been encouraged to adopt green and sustainable construction strategies. Innovation in science and technology plays an important role to support the transition to sustainable development. Its ability to rely on advanced technology and effective construction processes makes Building Information Modelling (BIM) an opportunity that can bring great benefits to the sustainable construction sector. This research focuses on functions, barriers, drivers, and implementation strategies, which were analyzed for their relationship with sustainable construction criteria using structural equation modelling (SEM). It was found that the BIM function has a positive influence on sustainable construction with relevant indicators in the form of building digitization, improvement from 2D CAD methods, and integration between tools. Relevant barriers consist of lack of demand from clients and implementation that feels like additional work. Relevant drivers consist of increasing work productivity and reducing work errors. Meanwhile, relevant strategies consist of conducting further research, providing commitment, and setting up infrastructure for the application of BIM into sustainable construction.
