Adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has increased significantly over the last few years, This paper explain the worldwide status of building information modeling (BIM) adoption from the perspectives of the engagement level, the Hype Cycle model, the technology diffusion model, and BIM services. An online questionnaire was published, and 157 engineers from many continents responded. Total, North America was the first among the continents. Countries in Asia perceived their stage mainly as slope of enlightenment (realize) in the Hype Cycle model. In the technology diffusion model, the main BIM-users worldwide were “early majority” (third stage), but those in the Middle East/Africa and South America were “early adopters” (second stage). In addition, the more advanced the country, the more number of BIM services employed. In summary, North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia were advancing quickly toward the realize stage of BIM.
