    BIM-Based Asset Management for Sustainability: A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis
    (Springer Cham, 2025) Yujie Dong; Amir Rahbarimanesh; Saeed Reza Mohandes; Richard Kirkham
    This study presents a systematic literature review on adding sustainability elements into Building Information Modelling (BIM) to enhance sustainability in the asset management stage of a built asset’s life cycle. Focusing on environmental, economic, and social sustainability dimensions, the review uses bibliometric analysis and systematic content review to identify key advancements and research gaps. The findings reveal that while BIM effectively integrates environmental and economic factors, its application to social sustainability remains underdeveloped. The study underscores the need for a comprehensive framework encompassing all three sustainability dimensions. Additionally, it highlights opportunities to enhance BIM’s functionality by integrating emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and big data, which could enable predictive modelling and real-time sustainability analysis. However, their adoption within BIM practices is still limited. Key recommendations for future research include developing integrated sustainability models, improving stakeholder engagement, and establishing policy frameworks to encourage sustainable BIM practices. This review emphasizes BIM’s transformative role in sustainable asset management while identifying crucial areas for further development.

    Risk Identification of Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Projects: A Systematic Review
    (Springer Cham, 2025) Yifei Sheng; Kamal Qazi; Amir Rahbarimanesh
    Introduction: Carbon emissions and energy poverty have prompted the British government to invest in the electric vehicle industry. Despite financial support, nearly half of the charging infrastructure projects in the transportation sector experience cost overruns. Methods: With the aim of identifying risk factors within electric vehicle infrastructure projects, a review on the risk identification of electric vehicle infrastructure projects is conducted using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) approach and classification analysis of literature. This resulted in the evaluation of 104 critical articles collected from two online databases (Scopus and Web of Science). Findings: This research identified 24 risk factors during electric vehicle infrastructure construction process and classified them based on PESTLE model. The research findings indicate that the public–private partnership models have evolved from initial employment systems to collaborative approaches. Inflation, which can directly result in soaring prices, will trigger a series of problems including worker strikes, public opposition, and unsatisfactory services. Conclusion: These risk factors do not operate in isolation; rather, they dynamically influence each other. In the future, interview and survey will be conducted to identify the strategies which minimize the risk in electric vehicle infrastructure projects.

    Stakeholder Management in Construction Projects: A Systematic Literature Review
    (Springer Cham, 2025) Lantian Liu; Amir Rahbarimanesh; Mohamed Abadi, Kun Wang
    Stakeholder management (SM) is critical in project management. However, SM was less effective in the construction industry. Given the critical role and complexity of Stakeholder Management in Construction Projects (SMCP), this research has used a systematic literature review approach to select 56 articles for bibliometric and content analysis. Findings of this research provide a clear understanding of the state-of-the-art study on SMCP. These include communication as one of the major topics, the trend of this area is to integrate sustainability and BIM in SMCP. In addition, this study identified critical challenges in SMCP: (1) Dynamic management of stakeholders. (2) Increasing interest in the construction industry to promote digital transformation in SMCP. (3) Integrate sustainability into SM. Although the limited search scope reflects the overall development of SMCP research trends, it may overlook some research not included in them. Overall, this comprehensive review of SMCP provides valuable insights for researchers, giving them a detailed view of previous studies and it recommends future research agenda.
