| Summary: | Building information modelling (BIM) is mostly referred to as a collaborative network comprising various disciplines and project stakeholders to execute BIM-based activities such as design, construction and planning for asset operation from the early stages. Fostering BIM processes from the planning phase is crucial. However, previous scholars who are concerned about the implications for current practice have discussed many barriers and challenges related to BIM-based contractual aspects. The present study reviews the current literature on the barriers and challenges of the last 12 years (2010-2022). A total of 31 articles were carefully reviewed using the thematic approach to provide the theoretical lens, which consisted of five elements related to contractual barriers and challenges of BIM implementation. The findings identified that professional liability, time limitation, cost implication, quality performance, and team coordination are the main factors that could affect the successful implementation of BIM in construction projects. The results and findings propose a new framework that must be considered to solve the contractual impediments for future BIM utilisation. This study also suggested that future research should focus on BIM approaches that can improve current contractual considerations for project and construction management. © 2023 Author(s).
