Abstract - This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of research articles on Building Information Modeling in the past decade in thirteen Asian countries, including Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Lao, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, and Myanmar. Based on a Scopus search using keywords such as Building Information Modeling /Modelling /Model /Management /BIM, barrier/challenge, and the names of the 13 countries, the review identified 81 journal articles. Thirty-two articles were selected to extract the barrier statements. Only literature from four countries, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, was found and selected. The semantic analysis by NVivo software included word frequency based on the literature review. As a result, 45 main barriers with six classifications: Cost, Technology, People, Environment, Organization, and Education were identified. Furthermore, the classification with high potential factors to influence the adoption of BIM in those countries is the environment, which demonstrates the external concerns, including standards, legality, guidelines, and regulations. Moreover, the main concern in China is a need for more willingness and awareness of BIM; in Vietnam, there is a lack of national standards; in Indonesia and Malaysia, there is concern about high costs. However, the study’s limitations include limited literature sources, exclusion of non-English sources, exclusion of article citations, and absence of expert validation.
