Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has emerged as a critical tool in the construction management industry's shift toward sustainability, enhancing sustainable practices in building asset management by focusing on environmental, economic, and social aspects. Despite BIM-based asset management makes a significant contribution to environmental and economic aspects of sustainability, BIM's role in promoting social sustainability which focuses on community well-being and equitable development in building asset management, remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the application of BIM principles and methods in the context of social value and sustainability, conducting a systematic literature review of 253 papers from 2005 to 2024 to assess BIM's impact on the construction asset management sector. The findings highlight BIM's limited but growing contribution to social sustainability, identifying four key dimensions: health,safety and well-being; resilience and inclusivity; equity, accessibility, and user comfort; community needs and affordability. The bibliometric analysis and systematic review underscore the need for further research, mapping out existing gaps and suggesting future directions for BIM's potential to enhance social sustainability in asset management.
