Government policies for Building Information Modeling (BIM) dissemination are driving BIM implementation in markets around the world. This paper aims to map scientific knowledge produced about the subject. The mapping included analysis of 812 articles published between 2011 and 2021 and extracted from the Web of Science. Cite Space analysis software extracted indicators such as frequency of occurrence of words and cluster analysis. These indicators reveal the knowledge base, topics little explored by researchers, and the main research areas on BIM implementation. It is hoped that this paper will help to understand the current state of research on BIM implementation, guiding researchers on the subject for future research.
