AB  - The increasing adoption of BIM is requiring organizations to assess their BIM maturity level. For this assessment, several authors have proposed BIM maturity models to assess capabilities of organizations or projects. However, although previous researches have demonstrated positive synergies between Lean philosophy and BIM, it is not clear the role that Lean principles currently have in the assessment of BIM maturity. This study aims at understanding the relation of 5 BIM maturity models with 16 Lean principles. The research shows that the principles related to flow process has the most interaction with the maturity components, where “Reduce Variability” is the principle with the highest number of interactions, followed by “Reduce cycle time” and “Design the production system for flow and value”. The results also showed that “Problem solving”, “Value generation process” and “Developing partners” are Lean principle clusters with low levels of interaction in the analyzed models. Future research should study the convenience of their incorporation in order to align BIM maturity improvement with Lean principles to enjoy the benefits of Lean and BIM synergies.
