Delivery methods in sustainable construction project and building information modeling (BIM) have addressed many problems and introduced many challenges and opportunities to improve the efficiency of construction project management. Using circular economy principles in construction provides an opportunity to improve environmental and economic indicators. This study examines the role of BIM in sustainable project delivery methods through circular economy principles. In this research, we studied the available literature to develop a questionnaire to measure the three variables including BIM, sustainable construction projects delivery methods and circular economy. In order to collect data, 132 structured questionnaires were completed by building experts, who checked the importance of these factors. Moreover, the structural equation modeling approach has been used to investigate the relationship between research variables. The results showed that BIM has a positive and significant effect on sustainable project delivery methods, and almost 50% of the total effect of BIM on sustainable project delivery methods is indirectly explained by the intermediate variable of circular economy.
