Abstract

The construction industry is crucial for infrastructure and economic development. Integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Project Management Professional (PMP) practices enhances performance, reduces costs and time, and improves planning and implementation, and boosts project quality and risk management. This research examines the benefits of BIM-PMP integration, such as improved project execution, cost and risk reduction, and enhanced team communication. It also addresses technical, cultural, and organizational challenges. Using statistical analysis with IBM SPSS and AMOS, the study investigates relationships between BIM, PMP, and variables like cost, time, and quality, based on expert interviews. Findings highlight BIM's role in achieving high quality, cost-effective, timely project completions and the need for a BIM-PMP framework to streamline operations and achieve project goals. Future directions include developing new tools, enhancing training, and supporting innovation to improve project performance.
