The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has enhanced the construction industry by means of increasing quality of project, accurate quantity take-off, improved planning, scheduling, and visualization, consequently diminishing project contingencies, time and cost. BIM has been adopted by several countries, many researchers and institute have attempted to measure the BIM status across the world for which many quantitative and qualitative surveys have been conducted. The implementation of BIM technology is by no means equal in different countries all over the world. This study involves the finding of awareness and adoption of BIM in different countries in the world, for which 8 different countries were adopted which have large construction market. The survey data is collected from different research documents, Smart Market report, NBM National BIM reports and BIM surveys. The awareness and adoption of BIM in different countries is compared and plotted, it was found that awareness and adoption of BIM in North America is 71% giving highest percentage whereas in India it is at lowest level of awareness and adoption i.e. 22%. This paper explores the status of BIM in percentage users, heard but not using and non-user in different countries in the world
