Abstract:

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is revolutionizing the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries worldwide by enhancing collaboration, efficiency, and safety. Despite its proven benefits, BIM adoption remains minimal in third-world countries like Pakistan, primarily due to infrastructure limitations, high implementation costs, and a lack of skilled professionals. This study focuses on leveraging BIM's potential in the local context through three dimensions: 3D modeling using Revit, 4D scheduling with Primavera, and 8D health and safety analysis in Quetta City. The study aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 9, 11, and 12, aiming to demonstrate BIM's utility in promoting sustainable construction practices, reducing costs, and improving project outcomes. By addressing barriers to BIM adoption, this research aspires to lay the foundation for a transition from traditional workflows to BIM-based methodologies, setting a precedent for enhanced infrastructure development in emerging economies.
