Abstract The global construction industry has adopted Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a revolutionary method to boost project efficiency while controlling costs and enhancing communication between stakeholders. BIM adoption in Nepal exists at a basic stage because the population lacks awareness about BIM while skilled professionals are scarce and supportive policies are non-existent. The research examines BIM project management practices in Nepalese construction projects while determining existing obstacles and potential future developments. The research used a mixed-methods design which integrated expert interview findings with survey data results. The results show that younger professionals demonstrate increasing interest in BIM despite facing major implementation challenges including high initial costs and organizational resistance and insufficient training. The statistical evaluation of survey responses through descriptive statistics and correlation tests shows that participants have positive views about BIM's advantages for time management and cost control and quality enhancement. The research provides practical recommendations for policy makers to implement alongside industry-academia partnerships and a step-by-step plan to advance BIM adoption in Nepal.
