Abstract: The advent of building information modelling (BIM) has increased as a defined methodology for improving construction work processes. Despite the significance of its usage, there is dearth of studies that comprehend the applications of BIM and its potential benefits for construction work. The present work aims to understand the recent developments and applications of BIM research in the construction industry. In this regard, a systematic nine-step approach using bibliometric analysis is performed to scrutinise articles published in Scopus database. Based on the scrutinised articles, a detailed examination using thematic and cluster analysis was applied to explore the potential BIM areas. Findings indicated key clusters: 1) architectural design aspects; 2) sustainable development; 3) project management knowledge areas. The outcome of the study provides a holistic understanding of these clusters and suggests exploration of potentially challenging areas for future BIM applications.
