Abstract Technological advancement has improved the efficiency of construction projects nowadays. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an example of such technology and is considered to be a database system that has advanced functionalities based on spatial relationships and relational attributes in the management of the necessary information for any given construction project. Contractors and project managers use building information modeling to ensure that the right details for any given project are followed from the initial to the final stages. BIM plays a crucial role in ensuring effective management of a construction project. Following the introduction of the BIM approach in the construction sector, there have been a lot of concerns on its role on the performance of any construction project. Recently, the government of UK has been working towards reducing the cost of construction projects through the adoption and implementation of BIM. For this reason, this study was carried out to find out the potential impacts of adopting BIM in the transportation infrastructure of the UK. The study focused on examining the relevance of Building Information Modeling in transportation projects and the key drivers and barriers to the implementation of BIM in transportation infrastructure projects. In addition, the study aimed at evaluating any available case-studies on BIM implementation within transportation infrastructure projects in the UK, as well as providing recommendations on effective BIM implementation in the transportation infrastructure projects in UK. Two research designs and case studies were used in this study in the collection of the required data on BIM adoption in the UK. As such, both primary and secondary data were used for the study. An extensive literature review was conducted alongside a survey that was based on questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The study used a sample size of150 individuals within the UK construction industry, who were chosen randomly and interviewed to provide quantitative data on the impacts of BIM adoption in the UK. The study had the following results based on the survey analysis, literature review and case studies. It was evident that the implementation of the BIM technology in UK is affected by a number of factors such as low level of BIM knowledge, lack of the necessary expertise and skills, inadequate training and education, lack of efficiency in the existing methods, job insecurity, and perspective that BIM technology is complex among many more. The building information modeling technology is highly relevant in the transport and highways sector of UK. Secondly, it was evident that there are several construction projects in United Kingdom that use the building information modeling in the highways sector. However, many of the construction projects are faced with numerous challenges. The study found out that there is a need for the development of an advanced asset management system, which can effectively store all projects’ information for future use. In addition, it was evident that there is a high demand for the adoption of BIM in UK. The analysis showed that BIM has been used in various successful projects in UK and that there are vario
