Zohaib Ali Kalani, Ghazi Azhar Hussain Memon Article DOI: www.doi.org/10.53700/jrap3522025_2 ABSTRACT Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process for creating and managing building data throughout its life cycle using three-dimensional, real-time modelling software. It enhances efficiency in design and construction by integrating geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, quantities, and component properties into a single model. Sustainable design, on the other hand, focuses on optimizing natural resources and reducing environmental impact. This research examines the synergy between BIM and sustainability, addressing how BIM workflows can support sustainable outcomes. Traditional methods of conserving energy and resources often lack the ability to predict building performance before construction. Once built, revising such decisions becomes economically unfeasible. BIM overcomes this limitation by enabling early analysis of building design and systems, offering valuable insights for informed and timely decisions. The strength of BIM lies in its integration of project stages and collaboration across disciplines within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. By improving coordination, BIM shortens the design phase, increases documentation accuracy, and reduces errors. Transitioning from paper-based processes to a data-driven, virtual environment allows for innovative approaches, greater productivity, and a broader perspective on sustainability. Thus, BIM provides both a technological and methodological shift toward more sustainable built environments. Keywords: Building information modelling, sustainable building design, integrated project delivery, clash detection (4D modelling), digital twin.
