Abstract: Construction projects require considerable resources. Optimizing the construction project cost is a crucial task for maximizing the value and ensuring the project success. Value Engineering (VE) has emerged as a key approach to minimize project costs while preserving the essential functions of building components; meanwhile, an innovative technology such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers enormous potential to enhance and support the VE process at early stage of the project's life cycle. BIM is a collaborative digital platform that is used in the construction industry to plan, design, construct and manage construction projects. BIM enables the integration of various project elements, such as geometry, relationships, material quantities and schedules. BIM facilitates efficient collaboration among the project stakeholders by saving time and optimizing project outputs.
limited studies have highlighted the importance of integrating BIM with VE. Furthermore, there remains a significant research gap in the research field regarding a specific framework for practitioners on how to manage construction projects through the BIM-VE integration. To address this gap, this study aims to perform a comprehensive Scientometric Analysis and Bibliometric Review of the available literature on the BIM, VE and BIM-VE integration by utilizing the Scopus database and employing research software VOSviewer.
