Current key challenges of BIM adoption in design	Source

Overcoming the resistance to change by educating project stakeholders to be aware of potential and value of BIM	Cavka et al. [11]; Poirier et al. [13]; Eadie et al. [17]; Son et al. [22]; Arayici et al. [20]
Insufficient standards and protocols between project players in collaboration, integration, and interoperability	Cavka et al. [11]; Poirier et al. [13]; Olatunji [14]; Eadie et al. [17]; Chan [18]; Ding et al. [21]; Son et al. [22]; Ghaffarianhoseini et al. [23]; Bernstein et al. [20]; Howard and Björk [24]; Ku and Taiebat [24]
Lack of a framework/road-map for outlining the effective strategy and method to implement BIM and train project stakeholders to understand and adopt BIM	Olatunji [14]; Eadie et al. [17]; Chan [18]; Ding et al. [21]; Son et al. [22]; Ghaffarianhoseini et al. [23]
Imbalance adoption and implementation of BIM between project partners and players	Eadie et al. [17]; Ding et al. [21]; Ku and Taiebat [24]
Lack of legal/contractual agreements associated with the BIM model	Poirier et al. [13]; Eadie et al. [17]; Ghaffarianhoseini et al. [23]; Ku and Taiebat [24]
Different project sizes: big projects adopt BIM more easily than smaller projects	Poirier et al. [13]; Cao et al. [25]; Hong et al. [26]; NBS [25–27]
