Building information modelling can assist in meeting sustainability objectives when constructing homes, yet the building sector in developing nations often relies on informal methods such as websites and email newsletters to share information. To address this, a model was developed to examine the relationship between building information modelling implementation and overall sustainable success in construction projects. Relevant activities were gathered from existing literature and evaluated using a survey administered to 180 professionals within the Egyptian construction industry. Analysis using partial least squares structural equation modelling determined the structure of these activities and their influence on project outcomes. The findings indicate that building information modelling accounts for 30 percent of sustainability in these projects. This framework offers guidance for decision-makers seeking to lower costs and enhance sustainable outcomes by adopting digital modelling practices across construction sectors in developing countries.
Construction projects in developing countries need effective methods to achieve sustainability and control costs. Demonstrating that building information modelling accounts for nearly a third of sustainable project success provides clear justification for shifting away from informal communication methods. This insight helps project leaders prioritise digital tools to improve building performance and environmental outcomes.
The model is directed at decision-makers and construction practitioners in developing countries looking to adopt building information modelling to lower expenses and meet sustainability goals. Based on survey analysis and structural equation modelling, this is early-stage applied research rather than a deployable software product. It provides an operational framework that industry partners can use to guide digital process integration.

When building homes, sustainability principles should be followed throughout the process to achieve maximum advantages. Building information modeling (BIM) activities can aid in achieving sustainable goals. Third-world countries’ building industry implements informal approaches to information dissemination through email newsletters and websites. This research seeks to provide a model for the application of BIM and its relationship with overall sustainable success (OSS) in building projects. BIM activities were identified from the literature, and a survey form was distributed to 180 professionals in the Egyptian construction industry. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to establish the structure of BIM activities and assess their correlation with project success, revealing BIM accounts for 30% of sustainability. The study’s findings inform decision-making to improve project sustainability and reduce costs by introducing BIM to developing countries’ construction industries.
