Such activities were categorized by project phase, i.e., planning, design, and construction, to understand the nuances of Lean-BIM throughout the project delivery process. Benefits were categorized by the Lean principles such as waste reduction, flow improvement, and value generation. Challenges were categorized by the different aspects of implementation such as cultural, technical, and organizational. The results show that during project planning, Lean-BIM strengthens visualization, scheduling, and constraint identification; during design, enhances collaboration, model-based coordination, and accuracy; during construction, enables reduced rework, efficient resource management, and effective communication between office and site operations. By identifying the key activities, benefits, and challenges associated with Lean-BIM integration, this study contributes to understanding of components that support planning for a Lean-BIM combined implementation.Keyphrases: building information modeling, lean bim combined implementation, lean construction, project planning In: Wesley Collins, Anthony Perrenoud and John Posillico (editors).
