        abstract = {The combination of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with modular construction, is transforming the construction industry by offering advantages like sustainability, quality, and efficiency. Compared to conventional procedures, this integration results in wastage reduction by up to 90%, construction time saving up to 50%, & expenses decline by 20%, along with the reduction in budgeting error by 40%. Consequently, at least 75% of businesses see a favourable return on investment. There are still issues in completely integrating BIM with modular building. Existing BIM programs struggle to offer a single platform for smooth cross-disciplinary modifications and lack the detail and flexibility required for modular projects. The creation of thorough BIM models that can efficiently assist decision-making during modular building projects is hampered by these constraints. To solve these problems, a complete methodology is provided, with an emphasis on developing industry standards, implementing collaborative design techniques, adopting lifecycle-oriented design strategies, and developing specialized BIM tools. Key efforts include developing parametric modelling, automating design optimization procedures, incorporating manufacturing concerns into the design phase, and improving interoperability between platforms. Stakeholders must upskill the workforce and provide supporting regulatory frameworks to fully exploit the promise of BIM in modular construction. Future studies should concentrate on digital twins in lifetime management, standardized data-sharing protocols, and AI-driven design optimization. The construction industry may create a more inventive, sustainable, and efficient future by adopting these technologies and research avenues, tackling global issues and establishing a new paradigm for building.},
