description The utilization of building information modeling (BIM) to raise efficiency and overcome the construction industry's difficulties has grown in popularity. This technique will bring numerous benefits for the interested parties, including contractors, and employers. Despite its countless benefits, this technology faces some difficulties due to its underlying challenges. This paper focuses on the challenges faced by the BIM technique. To study these difficulties, two surveys are prepared, one about the Delphi technique to detect the criteria and the other one regarding the DANP (DEMATEL-based analytic network process) technique for modeling. By interviewing and investigating similar studies and using the Delphi technique, 39 criteria have been found and approved, the noticed criteria were identified, and modeled by using the DANP technique and finally, the relation among criteria, sub-criteria, and their internal relations are studied. Among the criteria, the financial criteria are ranked first, and among the sub-criteria, the high cost of hardware, software, and BIM tools is ranked first. Therefore, to reduce the negative effects of financial barriers, the employer should take responsibility for the implementation of BIM, and the use of BIM should be facilitated by tax reduction by the government and the use of insurance policies.
