Özet

The increasing use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, combined with rapid technological progress, has fostered the development of various digital innovations within BIM practices. As the industry undergoes digital transformation, information flows have shifted from human-dependent processes to systems driven by advanced digital tools and platforms. This shift has triggered significant changes in professional roles, collaborative dynamics, operational methods, and stakeholder identities across construction projects. Within this transformation, digital innovation refers to integrating emerging digital technologies, channels, and methodologies that enhance organizational efficiency, service delivery, and building design processes in AEC firms. Technologies central to this innovation include the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, drone applications, sensor integration, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), digital twin systems, and cloud-based BIM solutions. This study examines current research on BIM-related innovations, aiming to identify leading technological advancements and trends. The findings contribute to the growing knowledge on BIM innovation and offer insights for researchers and professionals within the AEC industry.
