The newly emerging field of advanced information and communication system (ICT) has popularized the use of building information modelling (BIM) in the architectural, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) sectors. However, mixed perspectives and misunderstanding are very common towards BIM’s agenda and philosophy due to a total change in paradigm of practice and its quick growth in the sectors. This paper aims to render a comprehensive review through a mixed review approach on BIM from the literature up to first of January, 2013 as well as actual industrial observations and experience in BIM projects. The scope focuses on the development and implementation of the past and current state of BIM, and subsequently, inferences are drawn and discussed for the future of BIM based on the developed conceptual framework. Eventually, the paper reveals new implications of BIM for the way forward and updates the existing literature of the overview on BIM.
