Two of the key ideas challenging the established traditions used in construction management are the application of building information modelling (BIM) and lean construction (LC). BIM-LC is the most popular combination for eliminating redundant or ''non-value-added" activities' among firms striving to increase value delivery during implementation processes, and both approaches have a high potential to improve the performance of construction projects. As a result, BIM-LC has, in recent years, attracted increasing interest from researchers interested in developing the construction sector alongside the separate forms of these approaches. To answer important questions about the synergy of BIM-LC, including "What are the characteristics, applications, and factors of influence for these systems in the construction industry?" and "What are the contributions and challenges for these systems in construction?", this study used a systematic search consisting of seven steps across four phases to review the literature on synergy between these approaches. This study thus contributes to the development of understanding of the goals achieved by such synergy in the construction sector, concluding that the use of synergies between these approaches remains its early stages, particularly in Iraq. The developmental characteristics of the theories of the synergy between the two approaches and their practical applicability were also explained to a group of experts in Iraq, who unanimously agreed that while the issue is novel due to the need for modern mechanisms and methods for implementing projects inside Iraq required, they expected the use of these two tools to improve productivity and reduce waste in terms of both scheduling and costs.
