The global production region is presently processing giant transformation due to resource depletion and weather alternate, with an extra emphasis being located on efficiency and sustainability. A floor-breaking technological advancement referred to as Building Information Modeling (BIM) is revolutionizing the construction, logistics, and supply chain management (SCM) industries. This examine appears into how BIM may also help obtain sustainability and improve logistics and supply chain control. The look at hired a Partial Least Squares (PLS) equation modeling approach to envision which important sustainability metrics are maximum tormented by the adoption of BIM. Furthermore, a thorough model was constructed to illustrate the connection between success tasks, sustainable practices, and BIM. The outcomes show that a huge variety of parameters, which include as lifecycle management, material tracking and traceability, dealer engagement, deliver chain optimization, transportation, waste reduction, and recycling procedures, have a sizeable impact on adopting BIM. It has been proven that combining BIM with sustainable practices improves teamwork, streamlines layout procedures, reduces waste manufacturing, and boosts energy performance. The findings offer vital new statistics that academics, practitioners in the field, and legislators may additionally utilize to assist the adoption of sustainable practices inside the constructing sector. The capacity of BIM to help the building zone flow closer to a sustainable destiny is stronger by using these studies. It highlights how critical a function BIM, as a generation device, performs in fostering an effective and sustainable creation sector.
