This paper explores the transformative role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in enhancing stakeholder engagement in transportation infrastructure projects. Drawing on literature, real-world case studies, and survey results from 32 stakeholders, the research examines BIM’s capacity to improve communication, collaboration, and decision-making processes. Findings indicate that BIM is widely perceived as effective in visualizing project impacts, supporting early engagement, and influencing design modifications. Despite persistent challenges such as technical integration and training gaps, the study concludes that BIM remains a powerful tool in fostering inclusive and efficient project delivery.
