AB  - Building Information Modeling (BIM) utilizes a multifaceted computer software data model to document building designs, simulate construction, and manage the operations of new facilities. This research aims to investigate the adoption of BIM in the Jordanian and Kuwaiti construction sectors. To achieve this objective, the research commenced with a comprehensive literature review on global and Middle Eastern BIM adoption, identifying the benefits and challenges of BIM in the construction industry. Subsequently, an exploratory study was conducted using an online survey to assess the current level of BIM expertise and characterize the perceived advantages and barriers associated with BIM implementation. The current state of BIM implementation in Jordan and Kuwait can be characterized as lagging behind. The study shows there is more awareness of BIM applications, programmes, and benefits in Jordan than Kuwait. The study identified and compared several barriers to BIM adoption in Jordan and Kuwait, including: Lack of government support, Lack of effective collaboration among project stakeholders, Lack of demand for BIM.
