<p>The review article advances the discourse on Building Information Modelling (BIM) by offering first integrative, globally scoped analysis that synthesizes fragmented research across various domains such as construction management, structural, architectural and transportation engineering etc., domains that are often neglected and treated in isolation in previous reviews. To highlight the practical insights from existing literature, different case studies were chosen based on the diversity of domains, BIM maturity (due to high profile international projects) and diversity of regions across the globe. Through a systematic review of articles from 2008 to 2024 and critical evaluation of tools such as Revit, Navisworks, Green Building Studio, and IES-VE, we identify critical interoperability gaps and underutilised plugin ecosystem as barriers. Although the frequency of BIM application for energy and structural analysis is estimated to be 25% and 27%, respectively, its primary usage seems to be for 3D coordination and faster construction of 3D geometric models, with an application rate of 60%. While BIM has been touted as a solution to common challenges in the construction sector, it is observed that there appears to be a widening disparity between the BIM solutions and its actual implementation in mainstream industry practices. Thus, the findings of this review will be helpful for the professionals, developers, researchers dealing with the usage and implementation of BIM.</p>
