This systematic review aims to get the awareness and implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) among companies and individuals in the construction industry. The objective of that is to assess the current understanding of BIM, identify challenges in its adoption, and propose strategies to enhance its integration for improved project outcomes. The review employed bibliometric and content analysis methods. A comprehensive search of academic databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted using keywords like "BIM awareness," "BIM adoption," and "Building Information Modeling training." Then selection criteria were established to include studies focused on BIM awareness and implementation, published between 2010 and 2023. Data extraction and synthesis were performed to analyze trends, challenges, and best practices in BIM adoption. The analysis revealed that while BIM offers significant benefits in improving communication, reducing errors, and enhancing resource efficiency, there is a notable lack of understanding and clear guidelines among stakeholders. Key challenges identified include high implementation costs, resistance to change, and insufficient training resources. However, successful case studies demonstrated that strategic training programs and robust support frameworks significantly enhance BIM adoption and utilization. The review concludes that increasing awareness and providing comprehensive training on BIM are crucial for its successful adoption in the construction industry. Therefore, developing clear implementation strategies and fostering a culture of continuous improvement can mitigate the identified challenges. The findings highlight the need for further research to develop tailored solutions that address the specific needs of different stakeholders, ultimately leading to more effective and widespread use of BIM in construction projects
